The disclosure refers to a headrest for a seat. The headrest has at least a headrest cushion which is mountable to the seat. The headrest cushion may have an adjustment device configured to at least partially deform a front surface of the headrest cushion along at least one extending direction of the headrest cushion. Further, the disclosure relates to a seat with such a headrest.

Headrest for a seat and seat

A headrest adjusting device for headrest adjustment with respect to a backrest may have a headrest mounting bracket and a slide device movable mounted on the headrest mounting bracket. The headrest mounting bracket may have a seat belt retainer movable mounted on the headrest mounting bracket. A seat structure for a vehicle seat may also have the headrest adjusting device.

Seat and seat mounting structure

A headrest for a vehicle seat may have a first component constructed of an expanded polypropylene material. The first component may have a covering applied to at least a portion thereof. The headrest may also have a second component constructed of the expanded polypropylene material. The second component may have a front portion with a complementary shape to the first component and may least partially interface with the first component. The second component may have a coating disposed on at least a portion thereof.

A modular vehicle seating system includes a vehicle body () with vehicle interior connection features () and a modular vehicle seating insert. The seating insert comprises a shell structure (&#x2033;) to be received within the vehicle body. The shell structure has a vehicle body facing surface and a vehicle interior facing surface, wherein the vehicle interior facing surface defines seat module receiving portions (). Vehicle connection features () are operatively provided at a side of the vehicle body facing surface of the shell structure for cooperation with the vehicle interior connection features to fix the shell structure to the vehicle body. Seat module connection features () are associated with each of the seat module receiving portions. The system further includes one or more seat module (), each with a seat base () and a seat clamping connector ().

A vehicle headrest includes a carriage with support rods, an outer headrest connected to the carriage, a vertical locking arrangement with a locking element having a locked state and a released state relative to a support rod locking interface. Release levers, accessible from respective sides, move essentially along a vehicle direction of travel. Release carriers, moveably mounted to the carriage, moves essentially along a vehicle inboard/outboard direction and moves the locking element into the released state. Each release linkage activates the movement of the release carrier. The headrest also includes a forward and rearward locking arrangement for movement of the outer headrest relative to the carriage with support rods with at least some forward and/or rearward movement component. The movement arrangement, for movement of the outer headrest relative to the carriage, does not interrupt the release linkage connection for activating the movement of the release carrier.

The present invention relates to a plastic vehicle-interior-part with an impact module.

Plastic vehicle-interior-part with an impact module

A re-usable vehicle trim component () for attaching to a support member (), such as a passenger seat, includes a trim panel () and a fastener () integral with the trim panel (). A base () is coupled to the trim panel () by dog house walls (). A pair of shafts () extend transversely from the base (), a cross beam () extends between the shafts (), and an elastically flexible return arm () extends from the cross beam () toward the base () to a distal end (). A catch () extends outwardly from the return arm (). The return arm () deflects as the fastener () is inserted into an aperture () of the support member (). The support member () is secured between the catch () and the base (). The trim component () can be removed and re-installed without damage.

Serviceable trim panel with integral fastener

A device and method for reducing noises created by a movable seat back that is tethered to a cabin wall. The seat back has a latch bracket that hooks over a rigid striker pin extending from the cabin wall. A dynamic hook insert, manufactured from a polymeric material, lines the latch bracket and makes direct contact with the striker pin. The insert is provided with a resiliently bendable section spaced from direct contact with the latch bracket. The resiliently bendable section is dynamically movable for absorbing vibrations transferred to and from the striker pin and for automatically accommodating dimensional variances in the striker pin.
