ADJUSTABLE HEADREST FOR MOTOR VEHICLE SEAT
An adjustable headrest for motor vehicle seat. The headrest includes a support structure fixed to a backrest and a body having a front shell and a rear shell. The front shell has a front face intended for contact with the head of a user of the seat, the front face being movable relative to the support structure along a front-rear direction denoted X, over a total travel distance. The total travel distance is formed by a first travel portion provided by a mounting enabling translational movement of the body relative to the support structure while maintaining the position of the front shell relative to the rear shell substantially constant. The total travel distance is also formed by a second travel portion provided by a mounting enabling translational movement of the front shell alone relative to the rear shell.
HEADREST
A headrest for a vehicle child restraint is adapted to be mounted to a seat back and configured to support the head of a child seated in the vehicle child restraint. The headrest includes first and second side wings arranged to lie in laterally spaced-apart relation to one another.
Adjustable Single Axis Tensioner For Movable Aircraft Headrests
A headrest adjusting bracket surrounds posts from the headrest. A screw displaces one side of the bracket to apply a frictional force to the headrest posts. Protrusions on the interior surface of the bracket, proximal to each post, increases the surface area contact between the bracket and the posts when the screw is tightened.

ADJUSTABLE HEAD SUPPORT
An adjustable head support includes an articulating arm that has a plurality of members, at least one of the members is attached to a consecutive member and configured to rotate about a first axis. At least another of the members is attached to a consecutive member and configured to rotate about a second axis, the first axis and the second axis being perpendicular. A head support assembly is pivotally coupled to the articulating arm.
SEAMLESS SEAT CUSHION EXTENSION ASSEMBLY AND METHOD
An extendable seat base for a seat of a vehicle is disclosed. The seat base includes an outer cushion, a cord, and a motor. The outer cushion forms a top of the seat base and extends, in one unitarily formed piece, down a front of the seat base and back underneath or within the seat base, such that excess material of the outer cushion is positioned underneath or within the seat base. The cord is connected to an end of the outer cushion at the excess material. The motor is adapted to pull the excess material underneath or within the seat base while the seat base is in a retracted position and to release the excess material while the seat base is in an extended position. At least a portion of the excess material is used to form part of an extended seat for a vehicle occupant while the seat base is in the extended position.

ADJUSTABLE HEAD RESTRAINT
A head restraint may include a support structure with an opening, adjustable flexible elongated members, and an adjustment mechanism. The elongated members may be attached to the support structure, may span the opening in the support structure, and may be configured to support a user's head. The adjustment mechanism may be configured to at least one of automatically and/or manually adjust tension of at least portions of the elongated members spanning the opening.
Acoustic Output Through Headrest Wings
The technology described in this document can be embodied in a headrest of a seat, the headrest including an enclosure for housing one or more acoustic transducers, and an adjustable headrest wing disposed in front of the enclosure. The headrest wing is coupled to the enclosure by a pivot, and configured to be adjusted to one of multiple positions within an angle range around the pivot. The headrest wing is also configured to support the head of a seat-occupant. The headrest further includes a connector disposed between the enclosure and a rear portion of the headrest wing. The connector is configured to provide an acoustic channel between the enclosure and the headrest wing such that audio signals from the one or more acoustic transducers are radiated outward through the headrest wing.
Device for adjusting a motor vehicle interior component
An adjusting device (1) for a motor vehicle interior component includes a housing (3) in which a rotational element (2) is provided in a rotatable manner about a rotation axis (100). A first locking element (21) is rotationally fixed to the rotational element (2), and a second locking element (22) is provided on the housing (3). The locking elements are reversibly movable relative to each other from a locked situation, in which the locking elements (21, 22) interact with each other in a positively and/or non-positively engaged manner, into an adjustment situation, in which said positive and/or non-positive engagement is released. The adjusting device has an adapter plate (23) which is provided in a rotatable manner relative to the rotational element (2) and the housing (3) and at least temporarily drives a locking element (21, 22).
