Seat armrest

The green armrest can reach two positions;
1. Folding down position.
2. Horizontal (working) position.
To switch between these positions, raise the armrest to its highest position then return it to the next position. The gravity tends to turn down the armrest.
The yellow cam is fixed to the seat frame. The pink cam is rotated on a pivot fixed to the armrest under the interaction with the yellow cam.

The cleverness and diversity of your mechanisms always astounds me! Love your work. I would love to see some clever variations that incorporate the Peucaulier linkage in future works; I have always found it to be a quite beautiful mechanism

[@DanielGustavoEchavarri]

hello, you are a true genius. I don't understand how you come up with so many mechanisms, I have been watching your videos for years, congratulations

[@thang010146]

Glad you like them!

[@WillowCreative]

Thanks! This is perfect for the automatic release radial ratchet idea i wanted to make

[@disenoatipico]

Como siempre excelente calidad en sus videos.

I love this channel.

[@emorag]

Elegant solution. Very nice.

[@poornachandra80]

You should be declared god of mechanisms

I always wonder how the arm rest adjustment works. Now this video has enlightened me..

[@ramonhamm3885]

That is simple and clever, thanks!

[@davidavery3182]

thank you! I am using this for a CNC control panel :D

[@filmbites-1]

Nice

Genius

[@Benutzername0000]

nice videos! Are there any cable retraction mechanisms here? I wanted to build something for my usb cable and like to know how it works

[@thang010146]

Not yet. I will try.

[@Benutzername0000]

@@thang010146 that would be awesome, thank you

[@AhmadDakhlallah1]

There will be a lot of force on the moving part when it's in that locked position. I don't know what material could withstand that pressure. I can see a of material failure in this

It's holding a human arm, not an elephant.

Design files please!

Links to download CAD files of this video have been added to the video description recently.

[@MushookieMan]

Very clever, but not practical, because vibration will cause the pink cam to be in an indeterminate position.

[@nefariousyawn]

I think the cam just needs to be fastened tight enough to resist vibration.

[@thang010146]

Create a frictional moment between the pink cam and the armrest (e.g. using a spring).

Any chance you may come out with a book of your own? The world has been needing a successor to 507 Mechanical Movements for some time!

Not a very sturdy design.
