A device for adjusting a position of a headrest for a vehicle includes: a stay mounted on a seatback frame; a main frame including a rotation guide hole, inserted into and mounted on the stay, and configured to ascend or descend along the stay; an elevation device mounted on the main frame and the stay, and configured to allow the main frame to ascend or descend along the stay; a rotating frame including a first end portion inserted into the stay and configured to ascend or descend along the stay, and a second end portion extending toward the rotation guide hole of the main frame; a rotating device mounted on the rotating frame and the rotation guide hole of the main frame, and configured to rotate the rotating frame along the rotation guide hole; and a headrest frame assembled to the rotating frame.

A headrest assembly for use in a vehicle seat. The headrest assembly includes one or more support arms that are connected to a seatback frame. An adjustable connection assembly connects at least a portion of the one or more support arms to at least a portion of the headrest body. The adjustable connection assembly allows the head rest body to move in a forward and rearward direction, to move in an up and down direction, and/or to pivot relative to the seatback frame of the vehicle seat.

An automotive head restraint apparatus includes a housing having a padded and upholstered exterior, the housing being rotatable about a lateral support tube that supports a lock plate having a lobe extending radially with a detent slot extending therein. A latch finger extends from a pivotable lock lever plate to releasably engage in the detent slot to latch the housing in the deployed position. A pull rod is secured to the lock lever plate, and is connected to a release lever arm at its other end. A shape memory alloy (SMA) wire loop is passed about a drive pulley that is supported by a reciprocally translatable slide. A drive arm extends from the slide to impinge on the release lever and raise the pull rod when the SMA wire loop is energized and contracted, thereby releasing the latch finger to rotate the housing to the retracted position.

Provided is a support device including a flexible air-tight membrane, defining an internal volume and including a connection valve configured to allow introduction or extraction of air into/from the internal volume, and a compressible solid body housed in the internal volume and made of a material which, when said membrane is placed under vacuum, has a volume that decreases by at least 5%.

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 forward tilting mechanism of a headrest for a vehicle and a headrest including the same are configured so that the headrest can be tilted forward in a simplified operating method. A forward tilting mechanism of a headrest includes: a fixing bracket mounted on a stay; a main body rotatably coupled to the fixing bracket; a driving part mounted on the fixing bracket between the fixing bracket and the main body; and a slider disposed between the driving part and the main body, and configured to be movable by operation of the driving part and configured to provide a moving force to the main body such that the main body is rotatable by the movement of the slider.
