Abstract: A motor-vehicle seat having a frame covered by upholstery is provided with a headrest having a cushion, a vertical support rod having an upper portion carrying the cushion and a lower portion, and a socket in which the lower rod portion is seated. The socket is formed with a relatively slim stem seated in the frame, an upper head bearing downward on the seat upholstery and spaced above the frame, and a relatively thick body between the stem and the head.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle armrest has a guide strip with an inner end fixed on a pivot part and an outer end bearing elastically radially on the pivot part at an intermediate position passed by a latch-member pin before a body part pivoted on the pivot part reaches an upper end position. This guide is formed between its ends with a notch through which the pin can pass radially when the body part is generally in the lower position. It has between its ends a front surface engage able by the pin for outward deflection of the latch-member end as the intermediate position is passed and also has between its ends a back surface engage able by the pin to deflect the member out of radial engagement with the teeth on movement of the body part from the upper position back past the intermediate position toward the lower position.

Abstract: A headrest mount has a rod having an upper end adapted to carry a headrest, extending along an axis, and formed with a plurality of axially spaced and radially outwardly open notches and a socket fitting having a tube in which the rod is axially centered and slidable and a head axially traversed by the rod and forming a slide compartment having upper and lower confronting planar surfaces extending generally perpendicular to the axis. A generally rectangular and wholly plastic slide plate in the slide compartment is formed with a central aperture through which the rod passes and has a pair of axially oppositely directed planar faces respectively engaging the surfaces of the compartment. The slide plate is a snug fit between the compartment surfaces.
