The invention relates to a headrest () comprising at least one support rod () by means of which a support () of the headrest is mounted on a vehicle seat, and a head-support part () is mounted on the support () in a fixed or movable manner relative to support (), and the head-support part () covers a front part and a rear cover () held on the support () covers a rear part of the support (), and the head-support part () has a primary edge and the support () has a secondary edge, and wherein the primary edge and the secondary edge overlap. It was the object of the invention to create a headrest that can be produced more easily and which offers greater flexibility in relation to different headrest variants for different customers. The object was achieved in that the head-support part comprises a front cover () and a separate head-support plate (), wherein the front cover () forms the edge of the head-support part () and can be fastened on the head-support plate ().

Headrest, method of installing a headrest, headrest system

A seat plate assembly intended more particularly for the driving seat of a commercial vehicle has a base portion and seat cushioning thereon. Between the base portion and the seat cushioning is a flat operating element with which a switching device can be actuated by way of an operatively interposed elongate actuating member for switching a functional device of the vehicle on or off in dependence on weight on the seat. The operating element is provided at its underside with at least one drive portion with which the elongate actuating member is displaced in its longitudinal direction towards the switch when the seat plate assembly is loaded with a weight, whereby the switch is actuated. Connected to the elongate actuating member is a spring which is mechanically stressed when said displacement movement occurs.

Seat plate assembly

An armrest arrangement for a seat comprises an armrest support pivotably supporting an armrest, with an adjusting and retaining assembly operatively disposed between the armrest and its support for parallel displacement of the armrest in respect of height, in any angular position of the support. The armrest support rotatably carries three gears which are in meshing engagement with each other, the first thereof being rotatably disposed at the mounting axis at which the armrest is connected to the armrest support. The support has a plurality of openings disposed at spacings from each other along an arcuate path which is concentric with respect to said mounting axis and the adjusting and retaining assembly comprises a retaining lever which is carried on said first gear and which is displaceable between a release position in which it only extends into an aperture in the first gear and an arresting position in which it extends through the aperture in the first gear and into a respective ones of the openings in the armrest support thereby to fix the first gear to the armrest support.
