  • the positioning member 30a (30) the armrest pad 10 is pivotally moved outward and inward in relation to the armrest support 20.
  • the armrest pad 10 can also rotate in relation to the positioning member 30a (30).
  • a first pivot part 311 is disposed on one end of the main body 31 while a second pivot part 312 is arranged at the other end of the main body 31.
  • a pivot part 113 is disposed on one side of the middle part 11 of the armrest pad 10 and the pivot part 113 is pivotally connected to the first pivot part 311 of the main body 31.

  • the armrest pad 10 and the armrest support 20 are assembled with each other.
  • the armrest pad 10 is pivoted around the positioning member 30a (30) to be moved outward in a direction indicated by an arrow A.
  • the armrest pad 10 is pivoted again and moved inward to be assembled with the armrest support 20, back to the original state.
  • the replacement of the armrest surface 12 is accomplished.
  • a positioning member 30b (30) can be separate type and having two male fasteners 32 and two female fasteners 33 fastened to each other correspondingly.
  • the two male fasteners 32 are respectively arranged at a front end and a rear end of the armrest support 20 (from the user's point of view), or at a right side and left side (not shown in figure) of the armrest support 20.
  • the two female fasteners 33 they are respectively disposed on a front end and a rear end of the middle part 11 of the armrest pad 10, or at a right side and left side (not shown in figure) of the middle part 11 of the armrest pad 10.
  • the armrest pad 10 and the armrest support 20 are assembled with or separated from each other. Moreover, the positions of the male fasteners 32 and the female fasteners 33 can be interchanged.
  • the two male fasteners 32 are disposed on the middle part 11 of the armrest pad 10 (not shown in figure) while the two female fasteners 33 are set on the armrest support 20 (not shown in figure). Thereby the armrest pad 10 and the armrest support 20 are fastened and positioned correspondingly, or separated from each other.

  • the armrest pad 10 is moved out from a top surface of the armrest support 20 and separated with each other by shift of the sliding rails 34 of the positioning member 30c (30) along the sliding slots 35. Then the original armrest surface 12 is changed into another armrest surface 12 to rest the arms, as indicated by an arrow F. Next the armrest pad 10 is moved inward and positioned in relation to the armrest support 20 by the positioning member 30c (30). The change of the armrest surface 12 is achieved.
