A speaker system includes a cushion body with which a person comes into contact when sitting therein, and a speaker, a front of which is covered by the cushion body. The cushion body includes: a three-dimensional mesh-like elastic part that is formed by a three-dimensionally entangled fiber and bears a load of the person; and a cover member that covers surroundings of the three-dimensional mesh-like elastic part. The cover member includes a first cover member that covers the part of the surroundings of the three-dimensional mesh-like elastic part located at the front of the speaker, and a second cover member that is a remainder of the cover member excluding the first cover member. The first cover member has a higher acoustic transmissivity than the second cover member.

An air conditioning device for a vehicle seat, the air conditioning device includes: at least one flow generator to generate an air flow; at least one air inlet opening fluidically connected to a flow inlet of the flow generator to draw in air to be temperature-controlled; at least one air outlet opening fluidically connected to a flow outlet of the flow generator to eject the temperature-controlled air; and a temperature-control device configured to control a temperature of the air drawn in through the at least one air inlet opening prior to the air being ejected from the at least one air outlet opening; the at least one air inlet opening and the at least one air outlet opening are arranged next to one another.

An object detection device for detecting at least one object (e.g. moving), in form of a vehicle occupant or in form of at least a part of the vehicle occupant, in the interior of a motor vehicle, includes a camera system comprising at least one sensor for converting electromagnetic radiation into electrical signals and a lighting device with at least one light source and an optic system, and a control or regulating device which is designed to receive one or more of the electrical signals from the camera system or data from at least one sensor, at least one further device or at least one device of the motor vehicle, to generate control commands and to transmit them to the camera system, the at least one further device or the at least one device of the motor vehicle.

A headrest (1, 101, 102) is disclosed, with a support structure (2) and with at least one speaker basket (7.1, 7.2) for a speaker (6.1, 6.2) provided on the support structure (2). In order to achieve a simply designed and durable headrest (1, 101, 102), the proposed support structure (2) transitions integrally into the speaker basket (7.1, 7.2) and forms the latter.

A headrest suitable for being fastened to a vehicle seat having: an upper support portion, a reinforcing frame connected to the upper support portion for fastening the upper support portion to the vehicle seat, and an array of microphones comprising microphones disposed inside seats obtained in the headrest, in such a way that the microphones can be used to capture the sounds from the user sitting on the seat where the headrest is connected, as well as environmental microphones to capture the environmental noise perceived around the headrest.

A car seat includes an air outlet located in a seat upper portion (a portion provided above a seat cushion and including a seat back and a headrest) to let out air therethrough; an air inlet located in the seat upper portion to draw in air therethrough; at least one fan configured to produce a current of air flowing from the air outlet toward the air inlet at a front side of the seat upper portion; and a scenting device configured to scent air to be forced out through the air outlet. The air outlet and the air inlet are located in such positions that at least part of the headrest is positioned between the air outlet and the air inlet in a direction from the air outlet toward the air inlet as viewed from a front side.
