DEFINITION

Classification: 297/411.2

ARMREST:

(under the class definition) Device comprising a means for supporting an arm of a seated occupant.

(1) Note. The armrest may be formed integrally with a component of a chair, such as an end frame. In such case, it

has been classified in this group of subclasses if it is disclosed as used as an armrest. If there is no disclosure of such use, the patent has been classified below on other features; e.g., in subclass 450.1, even though the structure is such that an occupant of the seat could rest his arm upon such component.
