297403000 | Movable to inoperative position rearwardly of back | 8 |
20090152923 | Locking apparatus for folding headrest for vehicles - A locking apparatus includes a support bracket, a latch, a rotating member and a link unit. The support bracket is fastened to a headrest housing and has therein a locking slot, into which a striker of a seat back frame is removably inserted. The latch is coupled to the support bracket by a hinge and locks the striker, which is inserted into the locking slot of the support bracket, using rotation of the latch. The rotating member is coupled at a first end thereof to the support bracket by a hinge and is elastically coupled at a second end thereof to the latch, thus releasably locking the latch thereto. The link unit is coupled to the headrest housing by a hinge and is connected at one end thereof to the rotating member, such that the latch is released from the rotating member by pulling the rotating member. | 06-18-2009 |
20090295211 | Foldable head restraint for motor vehicle - Folding head restraint for motor vehicles, that can rotate around a horizontal pivot axis between an in-use position and a non-use position, and that can be locked in the in-use position by means of a locking mechanism ( | 12-03-2009 |
20110254339 | HEADREST EXHIBITING A WIDTHWISE BAR ENGAGING SIDE SECTORS IN COMBINATION WITH A STRAP ENGAGING/LIFT FEATURE FOR PERMITTING FORWARD AND/OR REARWARD DUMP - A pivoting headrest including a pair of upwardly projecting supports associated with a vehicle seatback and terminating in a pair of spaced apart sectors. A headrest bun supporting frame is pivotally secured to the sectors and includes a pair of elongated and side extending structural supports and a lower interconnecting housing. A widthwise extending bar is disposed relative to the housing, opposite extending ends of which engage the sectors at a first upright position and seat within channels in the side supports. The bar is biased in a first engaging direction against the sectors and, upon being displaced in a reverse direction, causes its ends to unseat from the sectors and the bun to rotate about the sectors to a dump position. | 10-20-2011 |
20120326481 | ADJUSTABLE HEAD RESTRAINT ASSEMBLY FOR VEHICLE SEATS - A vehicle head restraint assembly includes a head restraint support adapted to be mounted to a seat back frame. A transverse shaft is pivotally mounted to the support. A post is connected to the shaft for supporting a head restraint. A biasing member is connected to the support and the shaft for biasing the post to a collapsed position. An eccentric projection extends from a central region of the shaft. A latching mechanism is provided on the support and oriented within a path of rotation of the projection to engage the projection and maintain the head restraint in an upright position. Retraction of the latching mechanism permits the biasing member to pivot the head restraint to the collapsed position. | 12-27-2012 |
20130106163 | TRANSPORT VEHICLE SEAT BACK WITH INTEGRATED UPRIGHT SLEEP SUPPORT SYSTEM | 05-02-2013 |
20130207438 | PIVOTABLE HEAD RESTRAINT - The invention relates to a head restraint having a head rest element that is provided with at least one retaining rod, in particular on the seat back of a vehicle seat, wherein the head rest element can be reversibly moved from a working position into a stowage position and in particular can be locked in the working position. | 08-15-2013 |
20140117735 | HIDDEN REAR SEAT HEAD RESTRAINTS FOR IMPROVED VISIBILITY - A seat assembly including a head restraint for a vehicle seat that can be raised and lowered depending on the presence or absence of a seat occupant is disclosed. The seat assembly includes a seat having a seat base and seat back and head restraint selectively movable between a stowed position and an upright position. The seat assembly further includes a head restraint motion assembly connecting the seat back and the head restraint and a sensor operatively associated with either or both of the seat base and the seat back for sensing an occupant. The head restraint includes at least one head restraint post connecting the head restraint to the head restraint motion assembly. The head restraint motion assembly includes a drive motor attached to a motor shaft that is attached to the head restraint post(s). A locking arrangement is provided to maintain the head restraint in its upright position. | 05-01-2014 |
