Publication number: 20220194186Abstract: This disclosure relates to a vanity mirror for a vehicle, such as a motor vehicle. An example vanity mirror includes a layer of shatter resistant material, a layer of metallic plating attached directly to the layer of shatter resistant material, a layer of adhesive material, and a glass layer attached to the layer of metallic plating via the layer of adhesive material. The disclosed vanity mirror is relatively easy to manufacture and performs well even under extreme temperature conditions (i.e., as low as ?40 and as high as 120° C.) without exhibiting deformations such as bumps, cracks, or other distortions.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2019Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventor: Yintai Jiang

Patent number: 11192482Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a headrest assembly for a seat in a vehicle. In particular, the headrest assembly includes a locking arrangement that reduces, if not completely eliminates, buzz, squeak, and rattle (BSR). An exemplary headrest assembly includes, among other things, a rod including a recess and which is configured to connect the headrest assembly to a seat back. The headrest assembly also includes a head restraint having a locking portion configured to selectively engage the recess to set a vertical position of the head restraint relative to the rod. Further, at least one of the recess and the locking portion is tapered. Tapering the recess and/or the locking portion ensures that there will be two opposed points of contact between the recess and the locking portion, thereby reducing, if not eliminating, BSR between the two elements.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2018Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Daimay North America Automotive, Inc.Inventors: Yintai Jiang, Jianhua Wang, Guojun Tang

Patent number: 11142108Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a bushing arrangement for a headrest assembly of a seat in a vehicle. In one example of the present disclosure, the headrest assembly includes a rod configured to connect the headrest assembly to a seat back, and a head restraint. The head restraint includes a bushing configured to contact the rod and a spring configured to impart a force on an outer surface of the bushing. This arrangement allows a user to smoothly raise and lower the head restraint, and increases the stability of the head restraint relative to the rod.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2018Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Daimay North America Automotive, Inc.Inventors: Yintai Jiang, Jianhua Wang, Guojun Tang

Publication number: 20190283642Abstract: A headrest assembly according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes a head restraint configured to rotate from a first locked position to a second locked position to incline the head restraint relative to a seat back. Further, the head restraint is configured such that rotation of the head restraint beyond the second locked position causes the head restraint to become urged back to the first locked position. The head restraint includes a ratchet assembly having a pawl and pawl spring, and the pawl spring includes a first section and a second section. The first section of the pawl spring is configured to contact the pawl when the head restraint is rotated from the first locked position to the second locked position, and the second section of the pawl spring is configured to contact the pawl when the head restraint is rotated beyond the second locked position.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2018Publication date: September 19, 2019Inventors: Yintai Jiang, Jianhua Wang, Guojun Tang
