Abstract: An adjustable headrest for an aircraft seat including a headrest configured to simultaneously horizontally translate and rotate relative to a seatback, an actuating element that urges against the seatback to drive the simultaneous horizontal translation and rotation of the headrest, and linkage interconnecting the headrest with the actuating element and driving movement of the headrest in response to movement of the actuating element. An aircraft passenger seat including an adjustable headrest configured to horizontally translate and rotate relative to the seatback.

Abstract: A passenger seat includes a seat back pivotably connected to a seat pan assembly, an armrest pivotally connected to the seat back, and a main linkage pivotably connected to the seat pan assembly at a first pivot point defining a first pivot axis. The main linkage is interconnected to the seat back through a secondary linkage and the main linkage is also interconnected to the armrest through a guide member that travels within a guide slot carried on the armrest and defining a guide pathway. Inclination of the seat back with respect to the seat pan assembly pivots the main link about the first pivot axis with respect to the seat pan assembly, which vertically moves the armrest with respect to the seat pan assembly, and maintains an upper surface of the armrest in substantially parallel relation with the seat pan assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a raising device for raising or opening a closure panel, in particular a rear flip glass, decklid, door or hood of a vehicle, after the closure panel has been unlocked. The raising device includes a raising lever moveably supported by a base frame, a spring having one part coupled to the raising lever for providing a raising force and securing means associated with the base frame for securing another part of the spring to secure the spring in different spring conditions, where each spring condition yields a different spring force and raising the force.

Abstract: The invention relates to a locking device for locking a closure panel to a body of a vehicle. The locking device comprises a catch, a pawl and a release actuator, each of which being moveable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking device is in a locked state when the catch, the pawl and the release actuator are in their locked positions, and the locking device is in an intermediate unlocked state when the catch is in its locked position and the pawl and the release actuator are in their unlocked positions. The locking device further comprises coupling means which is arranged such that it couples the release actuator to the pawl when the locking device is in the locked or intermediate unlocked state and uncouples the release actuator from the pawl when, starting from the intermediate unlocked state, the catch has moved to its unlocked position.

Abstract: A pop-up striker for raising a lid, like a decklid, hood or door, of a vehicle comprises a spring for providing a pop-up force, whereby a first end of the spring is attached to a base plate. The pop-up striker further comprises a pop-up lever, which is pivoted to the base plate, whereby the pop-up lever is engaged with a second end of the spring. A striker element is secured to the base plate to restrict a pivoting movement of the pop-up lever.
