Arm support ( 12 ) for an armrest ( 10 ), comprising a frame ( 19 ) that comprises connectors for the fixed or moveable attachment to a structure, in particular to a structure of a vehicle, wherein the frame comprises longitudinal bars ( 23, 24 ) and cross bars ( 21, 22 ) that are connected to one another with connectors ( 25, 26, 27, 28 ). The particularity is that at least a first type of connector is provided that is connectable with at least one longitudinal bar ( 23, 24 ) selected from a set of longitudinal bars of different length, and/or with at least one cross bar ( 21, 22 ) selected from a set of cross bars of different length.
1. An arm support for an armrest, the arm support comprising;
a frame attachable to a vehicle and formed by
longitudinal bars;
cross bars; and
four longitudinally and transversely spaced connectors connecting ends of the bars to one another, at least one of the longitudinal bars being selected from a set of longitudinal bars of different lengths or at least one of the transverse bars being selected from a set of transverse bars of different length
at least one insert attachable in the frame;
two first structures each on a respective one of two of the connectors that are spaced from each other; and
two second spaced counter structures on the insert and each releasably engageable with a respective one of the first structures of the connectors in different relative positions and forming therewith an adapter for attachment of the insert to the frame independently from a dimension of the frame, one of each of the first structure and the second counter structures being formed by a plurality of parallel spaced vanes and another of the first structures and second counter structures being formed by at least one vane fittable between the vanes of the one structure and fittable between different lateral vanes depending on size of the bars.
2. The arm support according to claim 1 , wherein the connectors are each provided with two sockets, a respective one of the longitudinal bars being fittable into one of the sockets of each connector and a respective one of the cross bars being fittable into the other of the sockets of each connector.
3. The arm support according to claim 1 , wherein two of the connectors that are spaced are each formed with an axle extension or with a seat for mounting an axle element.
4. The arm support according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a latch for locking the insert to the frame and that comprises first latch elements of the insert and second latch elements of the frame.
5. The arm support according to claim 1 , wherein the insert comprises at least one storage compartment that can be closed by a cover.
6. An armrest comprising an arm support according to claim 1 .
7. The armrest according to claim 6 , wherein the frame is pivotable on a base and comprises a device for limiting angular movement that includes first limitation elements on the frame and second limitation elements on the base.
8. The armrest according to claim 7 , wherein one of the limitation elements is formed by a pin, and the other of the limitation elements is formed by a motion link device, movement of the pin being limited by ends of the motion link device, the motion link device comprising a motion link part on which a seat is formed for the attachment of a guide that defines the ends.
9. The armrest according to claim 8 , wherein the guide is selectable from a set of different guides and attachable to the motion link part.
