  • Patent number: 6637822
    Abstract: A garnish arrangement in a through-hole of an annular headrest comprises at least one support wire member, a first cylindrical garnish member of synthetic resin material, and a second cylindrical garnish member of synthetic resin material. The support wire member extends across the through-hole of the annular headrest. The first and second cylindrical garnish members each has an engagement element and a stopper element. With this garnish arrangement, the first and second cylindrical garnish members are firmly engaged together within the through-hole at their respective engagement elements, while the support wire member is sandwiched between the stopper element of the first cylindrical garnish member and the stopper element of the second cylindrical garnish member, thereby providing a robust structure against deformation.
