Abstract: A head restraint for a vehicle seat has at least one sensor. The sensor is intended to determine the relative position of the head restraint in relation to the head of an occupant sitting in the vehicle seat. The sensor can include an optical sensor.

Abstract: A vehicle seat headrest has a first sub-piece facing a seat occupant head, a second sub-piece and an energy storage device with a trigger actuator arranged between the first sub-piece and the second sub-piece. The first sub-piece is moveable relative to the second sub-piece out of a use position into a safety position along a movement direction towards the a seat occupant head as a result of an accident under the effect of a discharge of the energy storage device, which is actuated by the trigger actuator. The headrest is configured such that the volume of an expansion area is increased while the first sub-piece is moved relative to the second sub-piece as a result of an accident and by the effect of the discharge of the energy storage device. The headrest has a sealing device between the first sub-piece and the second sub-piece to delimit the expansion area.

Abstract: A head restraint includes a base element on which two wing elements are mounted by at least one hinge so as to rotate about a vertical axis. The hinge has a pin and a recess which are frustoconical. The support structure of each wing element is in two parts.

Abstract: A head restraint allows adjustment of the angle of inclination of a support structure relative to a holding structure, in particular a holding bar.

Abstract: A head rest for a vehicle seat includes: at least one first section that is oriented towards the head of the seat occupant, a second section, and a third section, wherein the second section is arranged essentially between the first and third sections. In the event of an accident, the first section can be displaced in the direction of displacement, due to the effect of a relative displacement of the second section from a working position into a safety position in the direction of the head of the seat occupant. The relative movement of the sections is a rotation about an essentially parallel rotational axis in the direction of displacement. A mounting of the first section in relation to the second section is provided during the relative displacement about the rotational axis. The first section comprises a first bearing surface and the second section comprises a second bearing surface.

Abstract: A headrest for a vehicle seat has a first section that is oriented towards the head of a seat occupant, a second section, and a third section. The second section is arranged between the first and third sections. In the event of an accident, the first section may be displaced, due to the relative displacement of the second section, from a working position into a safety position and a comfort position in the direction of the head of the occupant. The relative movement of the sections is a rotation about a rotational axis substantially parallel to the direction of displacement.

Abstract: A head restraint includes a contact surface movable toward and away from a seat occupant's head. The contact surface is connected to a fluid system that includes a piston rod. The fluid system adjusts the comfort and/or safety of the head contact surface. The fluid system comprises means for fixing the piston rod in a particular position in an accident situation.

Abstract: A head rest for a vehicle seat has at least one first section of the head rest that is oriented towards the head of the seat occupant, a second section, a third section, and a blocking device in which the second section is arranged essentially between the first and third sections. The first section can be displaced, due to the relative displacement of the second section, from a working position into a safety position and a comfort position. The blocking device blocks or minimizes the displacement of the first section of the head rest. The blocking device is asymmetrical in relation to a central plane of the head rest and can be actuated by an actuation element that is arranged symmetrically in relation to the central plane.

Abstract: An armrest for a motor vehicle seat includes an armrest body configured to coupled to a fixing mechanism. The armrest body includes axle pins and stop pins and the fixing mechanism includes a pivot bearing and a stop groove. The axle pins are configured to insert into the pivot bearings and pivot about an axis of rotation. The distance between the stop pins is smaller than the distance between the pivot bearings.

Abstract: The invention relates to a head rest for a vehicle seat in which, in the event of an accident, at least one first section of the head rest that is oriented towards the head of the seat occupant can be displaced, due to the effect of a relative displacement of a second section of the head rest that is arranged essentially between the first section and the third section, from a working position into a safety position and a comfort position of the head of the seat occupant in the direction of displacement. A blocking device for blocking or minimising displacement of a first section of the head rest counter to the direction of displacement is provided. Said blocking device is asymmetrical in relation to a central plane of the head rest, said central plane extending essentially in a vertical or parallel manner in relation to the direction of displacement in the built-in position of the head rest and can be actuated by means an actuation element that is arranged symmetrically in relation to the central plane.

Abstract: The invention relates to a head read for a vehicle seat in which, in the event of an accident, at least one first section of the head rest that is oriented towards the head of the seat occupant can be displaced, due to the effect of a relative displacement of a second section of the head rest that is arranged essentially between the first section and the third section, from a working position into a safety position in the direction of the head of the seat occupant, in the direction of displacement. The relative movement of the sections is a rotation about an essentially parallel rotational axis in the direction of displacement. A mounting of the first section in relation to the second section is provided during the relative displacement about the rotational axis. The first section comprises a first bearing surface and the second section comprises a second bearing surface.
