Abstract An armrest is concealed within a recessed cavity formed in the lateral edge of a seat back. The armrest is mounted on an axle member that extends horizontally into the seat back cavity. A housing member is fixed within the seat back and slidably receives the axle member. A spring urges the axle member to an extended position in which the armrest is ejected from its concealed location within the seat back cavity to enable pivoting movement of the armrest from the vertical stored position to a horizontal armrest forming position. A latch acts between the axle member and the housing member to normally retain the axle member at its stored position within the housing member. A push button is associated with the latch and is pressed by the user to release the latch so that the spring will eject the armrest from the cavity.
