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 assembly may have a connecting member extending between a headrest and a seat back of the headrest assembly. A mechanism may be located in the headrest assembly or the seat back. The mechanism permits selective movement of the headrest with respect to the connecting member.

Adjustable headrest

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.

Headrest

A seat back panel may have a panel having a central portion bounded by an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion may have an upper attachment member adapted to selectively receive a portion of a framework for a seat. The central portion may have a least one side attachment member adapted to selectively receive a portion of the framework. the central portion may have a concave shape. The lower portion may have a convex shape. The concave shape and the convex shape may give the panel a general S-shape.

Seat back panel

A seat mounting structure for at least one seat in a vehicle having a vehicle structure is provided. The seat mounting structure may have a seat rib cage configured as a universal solitary mounting bracket to which at least one seat can be affixed. The seat rib cage may have a plurality of rib cage elements connected with each other to form the seat rib cage. The seat rib cage may also have a plurality of seat mounting points for mounting the at least one seat to the seat rib cage. The seat rib cage may also have a plurality of vehicle structure mounting points for mounting the seat rib cage to the vehicle structure.

Seat mounting structure for a seat of a vehicle and vehicle and center seat structure

The disclosure relates to a seat trim structure for a vehicle seat with at least a mounting element having a plurality of integrated retaining elements, a number of detachable support members, and a number of detachable trim elements. The support members may be detachably arranged to the mounting element and the integrated retaining elements may be configured to detachably retain the number of trim elements to the mounting element.

The present disclosure relates to an occupant support element that may have at least one structural support element. Further, the present disclosure relates to a vehicle seat that may have such an occupant support element.

Occupant support component for a seat of a vehicle and vehicle seat

A headrest assembly for use in a vehicle seat. The headrest assembly includes one or more support arms that are connected to a seatback frame. An adjustable connection assembly connects at least a portion of the one or more support arms to at least a portion of the headrest body. The adjustable connection assembly allows the head rest body to move in a forward and rearward direction, to move in an up and down direction, and/or to pivot relative to the seatback frame of the vehicle seat.

Vehicle seat with cantilevered headrest assembly and positioning system

The disclosure relates to a seat for a vehicle. The seat may have a seat structure having at least a backrest frame part adjustable between an initial position and at least an inclined position. The seat may also have a seat adjusting device having at least a number of linear actuators. Further, the disclosure relates to a seat mounting structure having such a seat.

The present disclosure refers to a tray table device for a vehicle seat that may have at least a table element and a table support structure connected to the table element. Further, the present disclosure refers to a vehicle seat that may have such a tray table device.

Tray table device for a seat of a vehicle and vehicle seat

A headrest assembly includes a headrest body as well as a first support arm with a seatback rear support connection to a rear of a seatback and a cantilevered portion extending upwardly to a first headrest connection end. A second support arm has a rear seatback support connection and a cantilevered portion extending upwardly to a second headrest connection end. The first headrest connection end and the second headrest connection end are spaced apart a distance in the lateral direction to form a support connection. An adjustable connection is provided between the headrest body and the support connection. The adjustable connection includes a height adjustment means for adjusting a position of the headrest body relative to the support connection in a height direction.

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 ().

Modular vehicle seating insert, modular seating system and modular seating method

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.
