Abstract: A floor vent assembly with slots for airflow having a structure and interaction between an air vent and a slider with an actuator extending through the air vent to permit manual sliding of the slider in the floor vent assembly to selectively open/restrict the air vent for airflow. The floor vent assembly may also have an internal structural plate with corresponding slots. The user simply manually moves the actuator and thus the slider within the floor vent assembly where respective slots align or are offset to allow or restrict the flow of air through the floor vent assembly.

Abstract: A bushing allows for adjustability of a position of a headrest. The bushing includes a head portion having an opening and a passageway opening. The bushing also includes a body portion defining an internal passageway. The passageway opening of the head portion is aligned with the internal passageway of the body portion. The body portion includes a wall surrounding an area of reduced thickness, and a protrusion is located on an internal surface of the area of reduced thickness. The bushing also includes a moveable portion received in the opening of the head portion. The moveable portion is moveable between a first position where a feature engages a notch of a post receivable in the internal passageway of the body portion and the passageway opening of the head portion to retain the headrest in a position and a second position where the feature is disengaged from the notch of the post, allowing the post and the headrest to move relative to the bushing.
