An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has a housing forming a housing cavity, an inflatable assembly attached to the housing, and a member attached to the inflatable assembly. When the inflatable assembly is deflated, the inflatable assembly is configured to be disposed in the housing cavity with the housing cavity covered by the member. When the inflatable assembly is inflated, the inflatable assembly extends away from the housing, the inflated inflatable assembly disposed between the housing and the member.

The present invention relates generally to headrests for seats. More particularly, the invention concerns a fully adjustable headrest with novel neck support members for use in connection with furniture and with passenger vehicles such as aircraft, trains and buses.

A removable privacy panel assembly (100) for a passenger seat includes a center panel (101) with a width approximately equal to a width of the passenger seat and at least one side panel (103, 104) with a connection to the center panel (101) where the at least one side panel extends approximately perpendicular to the center panel. The removable privacy panel assembly includes a deployed configuration where the removable privacy panel assembly is attached to the passenger seat and an uninstalled configuration where the removable privacy panel assembly is detached from the passenger seat. In the deployed configuration, the center panel is approximately aligned with a seatback (11) of the passenger seat and the at least one side panel (103, 104) extends forward from the center panel (101) beyond a seating surface of the passenger seat. In the deployed configuration, the at least one side panel (103, 104) is disposed adjacent to a headrest (15) of the passenger seat.

The invention discloses an automobile headrest, comprising a shell, support arms, and a seat fixing part; the seat fixing part is arranged on the shell for fixing with the fixing rod on the automobile seat; each support arm is provided with a rotating shaft and a sliding shaft; the sliding shaft slides in a slideway inside the shell; one end of the sliding shaft is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft through a rotating structure; the support arm is slidably installed in the shell through the sliding shaft; the width between the support arms is adjusted laterally through the sliding shaft. The invention realizes the distance adjustment between the support arms through the lateral movement of the sliding shaft, realizes a better lateral adjustment of the sliding shaft through the design of the locking plate, the concave-convex part and the like, and realizes a better degree of freedom and comfort.

Seats that include sound cancelation systems are described. An example vehicle bench seat has a first backrest, a first speaker, a second backrest, a second speaker, a central portion, and a seat base. The first speaker is disposed within the first backrest and the second speaker is disposed within the second backrest. Each of the first and second speakers emit primary sound waves and secondary sound waves. The secondary sound waves of the first speaker are 180 degrees out of phase with the primary sound waves of the first speaker and the secondary sound waves of the second speaker are 180 degrees out of phase with the primary sound waves of the second speaker. The central portion includes channels that direct the secondary sound waves emitted by the first and second speakers into the vehicle cabin to cancel undesired primary sound waves.
