PORTABLE ARMREST DIVIDER FOR USE ON AIRPLANES, TRAINS, BUSES AND OTHER FORMS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

摘要

An armrest divider which is removably mountable on a shared armrest of a seat in which a person may sit includes a planar main body which acts as a vertical divider or barrier between persons sitting in adjacent seats who share a common armrest when the armrest divider is in use, an arm supporting ledge that extends perpendicularly outwardly from one side of the planar main body, the bottom side of which is adapted to rest on and be supported by an existing shared armrest between adjacent seats, and a locking wedge section that may be inserted between and held in place by the passenger's backrest and the armrest. The armrest divider may also include a stop member preferably formed as an outwardly extending protrusion from one side of the planar main body to limit the distance the locking wedge section may be inserted between the armrest and the passenger's seat backrest.
