Abstract: A headrest system comprises a headrest, a bracket to which the headrest is mounted and an actuator. The actuator is configured to displace at least a portion of the headrest relative to the bracket in a displacement direction which is transverse to a longitudinal member of the bracket. The actuator comprises a spindle transmission and a power drive coupled to the spindle transmission. The spindle transmission comprises a spindle and a spindle nut engaged with the spindle. The power drive is arranged in a cavity defined within an outer shell of the headrest.

Abstract: A headrest socket for accommodating a headrest rod, including a socket body of polymeric material that has an inner space for accommodating a headrest rod. A spring tongue is provided as part of the socket body, or is monolithically formed on the socket body, and is displaceable toward the inner space for exerting a clamping effect. A spring device is disposed on the socket body for applying a tensioning or pressure action upon the spring tongue. The spring device is configured from a sheet steel strip.

Abstract: Vehicle seat includes a seat portion and a backrest having a height-adjustable headrest. To facilitate the height adjustment of the headrest, two retaining rods are fit into nonreclining sleeves, and have spaced apart arresting notches on a lower portion of the retaining rods. The headrest can be set at any height by use of a locking mechanism on the upper surface of the backrest. The locking mechanism includes a base nonrotably secured to the backrest that includes a base portion and a spaced apart covering portion. The base portion and covering portion are connected via a central pillar to form one piece. The locking mechanism includes a spring with an arresting arm and a retaining arm configured to be mated with respective walls of the column, and biased by a bulge on the column. A cover ring having engaging elements engages the base, and may have spaced apart engaging fingers.
