  • Patent number: 11192482
    Abstract: 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.
