A linear actuating assembly for a headrest having a fixed portion and a moveable portion configured to support a user's head. The linear actuating assembly comprising a stator fixedly connectable to the fixed portion of the headrest, a rotor circumferentially surrounding the stator, a shaft extending axially through the stator and the rotor, and a nut connected to a threaded portion of the shaft and fixedly connectable to the moveable portion of the headrest. The shaft is fixedly connected to Rotation of the rotor causes linear movement of the nut along the threaded portion of the shaft, thereby moving the moveable portion of the headrest relative to the fixed portion of the headrest.

A seat with a headrest for a locomotive means includes a carrier or support system for a backrest of the seat, a support element having an installation section, and a guide device. The headrest has a headrest box, wherein the installation section of the support element is arranged on the support system in a stationary manner in the region of the headrest. The headrest box is movably arranged on the guide device, and the headrest box can be locked relative to the guide device in a movement direction.

A seat back assembly and method of manufacture is provided. The seat back includes a foam cushion layer. A support sub-assembly is formed including a rigid support layer with a plurality of cavities and channels defined on a rear surface for receiving components and a generally smooth front surface. At least one component is retained in one of the cavities and a second component is secured on the front surface of the support layer. A trim material covers the cushion layer and secures the sub-assembly to the seat back.

Vehicle seat having a backrest consisting of a backrest lower part and a backrest upper part, which is displaceable with respect to the backrest lower part, wherein the vehicle seat is connected to a rotary adjustment device for rotating the vehicle seat, and wherein the rotary adjustment device comprises a locking device for locking the rotary adjustment device, the backrest upper part and the locking device being connected to each other, such that upon a displacement of the backrest upper part relative to the backrest lower part from a non-displaced position into a displaced position, the locking of the rotary adjusting device may be released.

A headrest assembly for a seat, wherein the headrest assembly comprises first and second headrest portions, the first and second headrest portions being movable relative to each other in a lateral direction, such that in a first configuration the first and second headrest portions are combined and form a single headrest for a single occupant of the seat, and in a second configuration, the first and second headrest portions are laterally spaced apart and form separate headrests for respective first and second occupants of the seat.

A headrest (1) for a vehicle includes a main element (2) on which a wing element (3) is mounted by means of a hinge (4) so as to be rotatable about a substantially vertical axis. So as to create a frictional locking function, the hinge (4) includes a shaft (41) with a projection (43) as well as a bush (42) with a receptacle (44) that is associated with the projection (43). The shaft (41) is mounted in the bush (42), and in a locked position the projection (43) engages into the receptacle (44).
