The invention relates to, among others, a headrest-assembly method for securing at least two support rods () in a headrest to the backrest on a vehicle seat, where each support rod () is held a guide formation () of the head box (). The special feature is that cross bar () is engaged in the head box () such that it passes through at least one slot () of the head box (), and the cross rod () is fastened at its ends () ends () of the support rods ().

Support-rod bracket, headrest, and mounting method

A vehicle headrest has at least one generally vertical support rod formed with a vertical row of horizontally open notches, a body vertically slidable along the rod, and a latch element shiftable in the body between a first position engaged in one of the notches and impeding sliding of the body along the rod, a second position offset in one direction from the rod, and a third position offset in another direction from the rod. The latch element travels in a first straight line from the first position to the second position and in a second straight line nonparallel to the first straight line from the first position to the third position.
