Zusammenfassung:An externally replaceable friction mechanism for a pivoting assembly such as an armrest assembly, the friction mechanism including a first spacer configured to non-rotationally engage a fixed element and frictionally engage a pivoting element pivotable relative to the fixed element, a first friction ring configured to non-rotationally engage the first spacer, the first friction ring including fingers configured to frictionally engage the pivoting element, and wherein the first friction ring is configured to permit pivoting movement of the pivoting element relative to the fixed element and provide friction against the pivoting movement.
