A headrest structure for a passenger seat, a headrest cushion and passenger seat. The headrest structure comprises an adjustable headrest frame for connection to a passenger seat; and a headrest cushion mounted to the adjustable headrest frame such that the headrest cushion is moveable relative to a seat back of the passenger seat by way of the adjustable headrest frame; wherein the headrest cushion comprises a support surface facing away from the headrest frame, the support surface comprising a concave upper part and a convex bottom part relative to the passenger seat.

A vehicle seat control apparatus is equipped in a vehicle capable of travelling by automated driving and is configured to set a position and attitude of a seat of the vehicle to a driving position in low automated driving and to set the position and attitude of the seat to a relaxing position in high automated driving. The vehicle seat control apparatus includes an alertness detecting device configured to detect an alertness level of a driver seated on the seat, a computation control device configured to drive the seat driving device to perform an alerting operation if the alertness level is lower than a predetermined level when driving of the vehicle transitions from the high automated driving to the low automated driving, and a seat driving device configured to displace the seat at a higher speed than at a transition from the driving position to the relaxing position.

A foldable head restraint apparatus for connecting to a seat of a vehicle. The foldable head restraint apparatus includes a pair of brackets for being connected to a cover. A pivot tube rotatably supports the brackets along a first axis. At least one seat connector is connected to the pivot tube for non-rotatably supporting the pivot tube relative to the seat of the vehicle. A pair of latches are each non-rotatably disposed about the pivot tube adjacent to each of the brackets. A pair of cams are each rotatably connected to one of the brackets and are rotatable between a latched position and an unlatched position. At least one release connector is connected to each of the cams and is moveable for providing the rotating movement of the cams in response to movement of the release connector to provide synchronized rotation of the cams.

An improved head restraint is provided for a reversible seat that is movable between two use positions, namely a forward-facing position and a rearward-facing position. The improved head restraint automatically pivots to a fold flat position upon unlocking of the seat, wherein the head restraint is positioned in this fold flat position during reversing seat movement, so as to reduce the seat height and clear the vehicle headliner. The head restraint is cable driven and operably connected to the seat linkages that control movement of the seat cushion and seat back during reversing movement. As such, the seat movement articulates the head restraint so that the head restraint angles forwardly toward the occupant in the forward-facing position and rearwardly toward the occupant in the rearward-facing position, while permitting the head restraint to automatically articulate to the fold flat position during travel of the seat between these two use positions.

A support for a headrest may have a single-part bending joint support which may have two support regions. A first support region may be situated in a backrest, and a second support region may be designed to receive a headrest body. Also included is a headrest for a seat, including a vehicle seat, that may have at least one headrest body and a support mentioned above and a seat.

A seat opening concealment structure is provided including a cover member that covers part of a vehicle seat, and that includes an outer wall including a curved face portion with a circular arc shaped cross-section profile, the outer wall being formed with an opening having an elongated profile along a peripheral direction of the curved face portion, and the outer wall being formed with a larger radius of curvature at an inner face of the curved face portion than a radius of curvature at an outer face of the curved face portion. The seat opening concealment structure further includes a rotatable body that is supported via a coupling section inserted through the opening so as to be rotatable relative to the cover member, and a concealing sheet that is provided with an attachment hole at which the coupling section is attached, that is longer than a length of the opening, that is supported at two width direction end portions of the concealing sheet so as to be slidable along the inner face of the outer wall, and that covers the opening.

An adjustable vehicle-mounted pillow device includes a pillow body, a slideway cavity on one side of the pillow body, a cover plate on an outer side of the slideway cavity, a fixing seat movably connected in the slideway cavity, a connection head clamped in the fixing seat, and a shaft body on one side of the connection head. Push the two sliders inward to squeeze a second spring and slide the fixing seat up and down and then release the sliders which would mesh with the respective corrugated slideways to thus adjusting the height. Press the button body inward to compress a first spring and the tooth pattern on the button body separates from the fixing tooth slot in the left half shaft thus adjusting the angle of the pillow body. The compressed spring will push the button body to make the tooth pattern snap into the fixing tooth slot.

A vehicle control system includes a driving controller that switches between autonomous driving an manual driving of a vehicle, a seat whose form is changed between a form during autonomous driving and a form during manual driving that are different from each other, and a seat controller that controls motion of the seat when a form of the seat is changed. If the seat is in a form during autonomous driving, the driving controller does not switch autonomous driving to manual driving when controlling the vehicle.

A support for a headrest may have a single-part bending joint support which may have two support regions. A first support region may be situated in a backrest, and a second support region may be designed to receive a headrest body. Also included is a headrest for a seat, including a vehicle seat, that may have at least one headrest body and a support mentioned above and a seat.
