Abstract
A device for providing a comfortable resting surface for the arm of an automobile driver or passenger who would like to rest their arm on the lower surface of the window opening when the window is open. This surface is frequently uncomfortable or awkward to rest an arm upon due to factors such as heat and/or surface irregularities. The arm rest includes a padded arm resting portion on which the user places his or her arm. The arm rest is useable on any vehicle, and is attached on an inner wall beneath a window opening. It may then be folded into place for use by the user. The arm rest is easily positioned for use and, should the user be the vehicle operator, it does not require the use of both hands or other awkward maneuvers to place it in the appropriate position for use, thus minimizing distraction to the driver and the risks involved therewith. Further, the arm rest is inexpensive to manufacture and is made of easily cleaned materials. A storage compartment is also provided within the arm resting portion for the convenient storage of small items.
