For this reason, two types of working methods; the angular-motion passenger seat sleep pillow front-operated (A) (FIG. 1) and the angular-mechanism passenger seat sleep pillow side-operated (C) (FIG. 4) shall be described separately. Angle mechanism passenger seat sleep pillow front-operated (A) (FIG. 1); Angle mechanism (1) and angle mechanism arm (la) are added to the main body rod (6) so that the head restraints (right-left) (12) at both ends can rotate at different angles towards the front of the seat (FIG. 2). Angle Mechanism (1); Angle mechanism lever (la), angle mechanism lock housing (22), angle mechanism lock (23), angle mechanism spring (24), angle mechanism gear (25), angle mechanism central mounting shaft (26), angle mechanism lock spring (28) and angle mechanism spring retainer (32) separating ring (38), lock lever wheel (39), lock lever wheel spring (40) is formed. Angle mechanism (1) provides the head restraint pillow (right-left) (12) is positioned at different angles (12.3) (12.4) as seen in FIG. 2, and it allows opening at different angles forward.

    (24) The angle mechanism arm (1a) is connected to the angle mechanism pillow connection part (4), and the angle step is connected to the rotating head (5) and the pillow angle spring (3). The angle-stepped turning head (5) and the pillow angle spring (3) provide the pillow (12) with an outward angle, such as (12.1) and (12.2) in angular operation (FIG. 3). The pillow angle spring (3) also allows the headrest pillow (right-left) (12) to return back again. The angle-stepped rotating head (5) and the pillow mounting tray (2) are combined, and the pillow mounting tray screw holes (9) and the pillow holder (12a) and the headrest pillow (right-left) (12) are added to each other. The neck pillow (13) is connected to the main body rod (6) by the neck pillow mounting tray (30) and the neck pillow holder (31). The passenger seat sleeping pillow with the angular mechanism is front-operated (FIG. 1), the main body rod (6) and the adjustment rod (27) are connected for the upward and downward movement of the seat (13.1) (13.2) in the seat (29). This coupling is provided by the adjustment bar tray (17) and the adjustment bar screw holes (17a) in the adjustment bar (27) by means of the adjustment bar mounting tray (7) and the adjustment bar mounting holes (8). The angular mechanism passenger seat sleeping pillow is moved up and down in the adjustment rod bearing (14) in the seat on the seat (29). The adjusting rod (27); adjustment bar tray (17), adjustment bar connecting arm (18), adjustment bar opening spring (19), adjustment bar holding ring (20), adjustment bar arm (21) is formed. The adjustment rod (27) assembly is mounted on the seats during the seat manufacturing stage. The passenger seat sleep pillow with an open mechanism must operate from the side (FIG. 4); the side-running pillow bracket spring (10a) and the side-running pillow bracket (10) are attached to the main body rod (6) so that the head restraints (right-left) (12) at both ends can rotate towards the front of the seat (29). Here, the side-operated pillow elbow spring (10a) allows the elbow 10 to be pulled through the side mounting pillow arm bearing (15) into the neck pillow (13). The side-operated pillow elbow (10) is connected with the angle mechanism and the elbow pillow connection part (4) and is connected to the angle-stepped turning head (5) and the pillow angle spring (3). The angle-stepped turning head (5) and the pillow angle spring (3) provide an outward angle to the pillow (12) as in (12.1) and (12.2) for angled operation (FIG. 7). The pillow angle spring (3) also allows the headrest pillow (right-left) (12) to return again. By combining the angle-stepped rotating head (5) and the pillow mounting tray (2), the screw holes (9) of the pillow mounting tray are connected with the pillow rotating wheel (11). The paddle wheel (11); The pillow pin (33), the pillow wheel pin spring (34), the pillow wheel coupling hole (35), the pillow wheel pin locking bearing (36), and the pillow wheel mounting tray screw hole (37). The pillow (12) is rotated about its axis (FIG. 5); The pillow angle movement position 5 (12.5) provides the ability to rotate the pillow angle movement position 6 (12.6). The paddle wheel 11 is attached to the headrest pillow (12) via the pillow holder (12a). The neck pillow (13) is connected to the main body rod (6) by the neck pillow mounting tray (30) and the neck pillow holder (31). At the passenger seat sleeping pillow with the angular mechanism side-operated (C) given in FIG. 4, the main body rod (6) and the adjusting rod (27) are coupled to the seat (29) up and down movement as shown in FIG. 7 (13.1), (13.2). This coupling is provided by the adjustment bar tray (17) and the adjustment bar screw holes (17a) in the adjustment bar (27) by means of the adjustment bar mounting tray (7) and the adjustment bar mounting holes (8).

    (25) As a result of the combination of the parts, the headrest pillow (12) is approached to the neck pillow (13) in both uses (FIG. 1) or (FIG. 4), and the angled position of the pillow provides the passenger with comfort supported by the neck and cheek. By means of the adjustment rod (27), preferred usage is provided according to the height of the passenger.

    (26) After connecting the parts of the passenger seat sleeping pillow with angle mechanism which are explained above with reference to the figures and figures, we will now try to explain the working principle of these parts again with the help of the figures.

    (27) In the embodiment of angle mechanism passenger seat sleeping pillow front-operated (A) (FIG. 1), the head pillow (right-left) (12) in the closed position (FIG. 1) is pulled forward and brought to the position (12.3) or (12.4) with the aid of the angle mechanism (1) as in FIG. 2. The head restraint pillow (right-left) 12 is then used as desired (FIG. 3) by means of an angle mechanism rotating head (5) and a pillow angle spring (3), which are angled to the position (12.1) or (12.2). If the neck pillow (13) remains upward relative to the passenger, the neck pillow (13) is pulled forward and the adjustment rod opening spring (19) is tensioned and the neck pillow (13) is removed from the seat (29). The neck pillow (13) together with the head restraints (12), such as (13.1) or (13.2) positions of the neck pillow (13) as shown in FIG. 3, allows the adjustment rod retaining ring (22) to slide downwards from the adjustment rod arm (21), which is pulled downwards.

    (28) In the embodiment of passenger seat sleeping pillow with angle mechanism is side-operated (C) (FIG. 4); the pillow in the closed position (FIG. 4) is pulled forward so that the headrest pillow (12) is turned upwards by means of the side-operated pillow elbow (10). The elbow (10) entering the side mounting pillow arm bearing (15) approaches the neckrest (13) with the help of the side-operated elbow spring (10a) as shown in FIG. 6. At this stage, the horizontal pillow (12.5) is brought to the vertical position (12.6) by means of the rotating wheel (11). The angle-stepped turning head (5) is used in any of the positions (12.1) or (12.2) as in FIG. 7. If the neck pillow (13) remains upward relative to the passenger, the neck pillow (13) is pulled forward and the adjustment rod opening spring (19) is tensioned and the neck pillow (13) is removed from the seat (29). The neck pillow (13) together with the headrest pillows (12), such as (13.1) or (13.2) of the neck pillow (13), allows the adjustment rod retaining ring (22) to slide downwards from the adjustment rod arm (21), which is pulled downwards.
