A motor-vehicle head rest has a one-piece plastic body formed with a pair of like recesses opening parallel to each other, and respective pivot assemblies in each recess. Each such pivot assembly has a holder and a pivot element held in the holder. Interengaging formations on the body and holder retain the holders in the recesses, and respective rods engage up through the pivot elements of the assemblies. Such a head rest is made by fitting the holders to the respective pivot elements, engaging the holders carrying the respective pivot elements into the respective recesses and thereby interengaging the formations and locking the holders with their pivot elements in the respective recesses, and fitting the rods through the pivot elements.

Motor-vehicle head rest

A motor-vehicle headrest has a hollow housing having a front face and a back face, at least one mounting rod seated in the housing and adapted to be secured to a motor-vehicle seat back, and a body of soft cushion material on the front housing face. The back face is formed with a peripheral backwardly open groove and is substantially free of cushioning. A flexible cover sheet overlies the cushion body and has an outer edge engaged in the groove. A stiff rear cover has a forwardly directed rim tightly fitted in the groove and retains the cover edge therein. The housing is formed of a pair of joined-together cup-shaped parts. The groove is formed with teeth engaging and holding the cover-sheet edge.
