Abstract
An armrest for an individual seat wherein the armrest has a deployment arm for extending a video device from inside the armrest to a viewing position and retracting the video device into the armrest for storage. The video device is connected to a deployment arm. The video device and deployment arm are configured to retractably fit within the hollow interior of an armrest. The interior of the armrest has a track system including at least two tracks to which the deployment arm is slidingly engaged. The two tracks diverge from one another so that the spaced relation between the tracks varies along the track system. The deployment arm has at least two rollers that slidingly engage the track system. The diverging tracks urge the deployment arm to change orientation as the rollers slide along the track system, thereby urging the deployment arm to extend the video device from the armrest into a viewing position. To restore the video device to the stowed position, the video device or arm is pushed in the reverse direction, and in one simple, quick motion the video device may be stowed within the armrest.
