Abstract
A structure of donut-like headrest or the so-called 'see-through-type headrest', wherein a headrest frame is provided, which has two spaced-apart stay portions and a head support portion larger in width than the two stay portions. Between those two stay and headrest support portions, there are defined a pair of spaced-apart slant portions. A connecting frame is connected between such pair of spaced-apart slant portions. Both of the head support portion and connecting frame are placed within a donut-like headrest body or trim cover assembly such as to surround the through-hole thereof in good proportion, with both two stay portions projecting externally from the headrest body. This allows for reducing the dimensions of headrest body uniformly towards the through-hole and in turn increasing the apparent size or diameter of through-hole in relation to the whole headrest body dimensions, thereby not only improving the aesthetic appearance of headrest, but also attaining a wide field of vision through and around the headrest body.
