Abstract
Abstract An adjustable armrest device has a fixed seat, a main body covering an upper portion of the fixed seat, and an insert block disposed between the main body and the fixed seat. The fixed seat has two through apertures. The insert block has two stepped holes, two threaded apertures, and two upper grooves. The main body has a lower recess receiving the insert block, two threaded holes, a circular recess hole, a circular blind hole, two round recess holes, and two round blind holes. Two slide seats are inserted in the stepped holes. Each slide seat has a through hole receiving a threaded fastener. Two hollow cylinders are inserted in the upper grooves. Two bolts pass through the through apertures and the threaded apertures to fasten the fixed seat and the insert block together.
