The invention relates to an armrest for a vehicle seat, comprising an armrest body () that together with a base () forms a pivot joint and can be pivoted through a pivot angle (&#x3b1;) between a stowed position and a use position, wherein at least one damper () is provided to damp the motion of the armrest body (). The invention characterized in that the armrest () has a control device () that actuates the damper () within at least one portion (&#x3b2;, y) of the pivot angle.

Motor-vehicle armrest

The invention relates to an apparatus for continuous inclination adjustment of a component part of a vehicle, in particular a pivotable vehicle armrest, pivotable about a pivot axle. The apparatus is configured to lock various angles of inclination in a first pivoting direction and unlock them when a pre-settable angle of inclination is reached and/or exceeded. This allows the pivotable component part of the vehicle to be moved back into a starting position contrary to the first pivoting direction. The continuous inclination adjustment apparatus has a sleeve freewheel device for setting the continuous inclination, a coupling device for coupling and uncoupling the sleeve freewheel device and a control device for actuating the coupling device.

Apparatus for continuous inclination adjustment of a pivotable vehicle part

A headrest assembly securable to a motor-vehicle seat back part has a movable headrest and a rod fixed in the seat back and having a plurality of vertically spaced catch formations. A spring carried on the headrest has a pair of legs flanking the rod, elastically deflectable toward and away from the rod, and biased elastically toward the rod, and a crosspiece connecting the legs and fittable with one of the catch formations. An actuator shiftable in the slide relative to the spring has respective actuating formations engageable with the spring legs. The actuator is movable between a latching position in which the actuating formations are generally disengaged from the respective legs and the crosspiece engages the rod and an unlatching position in which the actuating formations engage the respective legs and press them into the released position.

Motor-vehicle headrest

A headrest has a generally vertical rod mountable in a motor-vehicle seat and formed with a plurality of vertically spaced and horizontally open notches, a support vertically movable along the rod and adapted to carry a head cushion, and a latch element vertically fixed on the support and shiftable on the support between a latched position engaged in one of the notches and locking the support on the rod against downward movement and an unlatched position disengaged from the rod and permitting free vertical movement of the support on the rod. An actuating element is pivotal about an axis on the support between an actuated position holding the latch element in the disengaged position and a rest position with the latch element in the engaged position.
