First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle seat comprising: a supporting structure having a seat surface and a back rest; at least one arm rest arrangement which is held on a complementary accommodating unit of the supporting structure; the at least one arm rest arrangement including a fixation unit which is capable of being attached to the complementary accommodating unit of the supporting structure and detached from the accommodating unit without a tool; wherein a first one of the fixation unit and the accommodating unit includes a sliding latching mechanism; and an actuating member engaging with the sliding latching mechanism to displace the sliding latching mechanism between a latched position for attaching the at least one arm rest arrangement to the accommodating unit of the supporting structure and a released position for detaching the at least one arm rest arrangement from the accommodating unit of the supporting structure; a second one of the fixation unit and the accommodating unit includes a latch receiving space, the sliding latching mechanism sliding into the latch receiving space when the sliding latching mechanism is in the latched position and out of the latch receiving space when the sliding latching mechanism is in the released position. 2. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , further including a spring for biasing the sliding latching mechanism into the latch receiving space. 3. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating member includes a ramped device configured to engage with the sliding latching mechanism to move the sliding latching mechanism from the latched position to the released position. 4. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating member does not rotate relative to the supporting structure. 5. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding latching mechanism and the latch receiving space each have corresponding and engaging ramped surfaces.
