HEADREST MODULE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE SEAT
20210276468 · 2021-09-09 ·

A headrest module for a motor vehicle seat includes a base component and a headrest mounted in the base component. The headrest is configured to be guided in a vehicle longitudinal direction so as to be extendable and retractable relative to the base component. The headrest further includes a fixing mechanism having a first fixing element with teeth and a second fixing element configured to be moved towards the first fixing element for engagement between adjacent teeth. Contact faces of the two fixing elements are configured such that an extension of the headrest is possible under the action of a force on the headrest in an extension direction. A movement of the headrest in a retraction direction is possible under action of a release mechanism of the headrest module configured to move the second fixing element out of the region between the teeth of the first fixing element.

Vehicle seat assembly including head restraint that folds and unfolds with seat back

A seat assembly includes a seat bottom, a seat back, and a head restraint. The seat back is connected to the seat bottom and is configured to pivot relative to the seat bottom between an unfolded position and a folded position. The head restraint is connected to the seat back and is configured to pivot relative to the seat back between an unfolded position and a folded position. The head restraint is configured to automatically pivot from its folded position to its unfolded position when the seat back pivots from its folded position to its unfolded position.

Support bracket and headrest with support bracket

Inter alia, the invention relates to a support bracket (12) with two bar regions bracket on a vehicle seat, with a traverse (15) connecting the bar regions pivotally supporting a head contact part (11) of a headrest (10), and with locking means of a latch (17) for blocking pivoting the head contact part (11). The special feature is that the traverse (15) is made of plastic or a composite material and comprises attachment regions for securing to a support rod (13a, 13b) or is integrally connected with bar regions.

Adjustable headrest including a guide configured to be coupled to a seat; a head support coupled to the guide and configured to be movable along an adjustment path relative to the seat; and a slider having a surface defining a recess receiving the guide. A retainer is positioned to urge a surface of the slider against a surface of the guide, thereby maintaining friction between the surface of the slider and the surface of the guide. Additionally, the adjustable headrest includes a bracket that is fixable relative to the head support or fixed relative to the seat. The bracket has a mounting section positioned for fixation relative to the head support or for fixation to the seat and a guide receiving portion receiving the guide. The slider and the bracket are separate components and are formed from the same material or different materials.
