摘要： An armrest cover locking mechanism for an armrest having a body with a storage compartment and a cover which is pivotally mounted to the armrest body for movement between a closed position for normal use of the armrest and an open position for access to items within the storage compartment. The latching system includes a latch mounted to the forward edge of the cover and extending downwardly into the storage bin and latchably engaging a spring-loaded, push-button slide which includes a latch plate which engages the latch of the cover when in a normal position. Upon depression of a push-button actuator associated with the latch slide, the latch plate clears the cover latch allowing the cover to be opened when the armrest is in a horizontal position. The slide is slidably mounted within a housing and includes a curvilinear pendulum pivotally mounted to the slide such that when the armrest is in a horizontal position, the slide can move freely within the housing. When the armrest is moved toward a vertical position, however, the pendulum remains stationary as the slide assembly pivots with a locking post on the housing engaging the pendulum to prevent movement of the spring-loaded slide once the armrest is moved from the horizontal position.
