Abstract: A headrest for a vehicle seat, wherein the headrest has two headrest rods which extend at least substantially parallel and on which a head cushion of the headrest is arranged or can be arranged. The headrest furthermore has a locking mechanism which can be actuated, in particular manually, and which in its locked state acts exclusively on only one of the two headrest rods, the locking mechanism having a pivot lever which is designed in such a way that when the pivot lever is actuated, engagement between an engagement element and the one headrest rod is released.

Abstract: A piston cooling jet includes a first body and a second body. The first body includes a housing having an inlet fluidly coupled with nozzle outlets. The second body is coupled to the first body to form an interior chamber disposed inside the first body and the second body. The interior chamber is fluidly coupled with the inlet and the nozzle outlets. The interior chamber directs fluid received via the inlet through the nozzle outlets and out of the piston cooling jet assembly in a direction towards a spray target.

Abstract: A bar clamp assembly configured to be secured to a structure through a fastener includes a bar clamp, a securing base, and a fastener retention member. The securing base may be integrally formed with the bar clamp, and is configured to receive and retain the fastener. The fastener retention member is within or on the securing base, and is configured to secure the fastener in the securing base. The bar clamp assembly may also include a plurality of braces, clips and other support structures between the bar clamp and the securing base in order to provide a more robust assembly.

Abstract: A grommet connector includes a first end portion and a second end portion with a barrier therebetween. The first end portion is adapted for insertion into a grommet, and the second end portion is adapted for connecting to another part, such as a nut or washer to form a subassembly of the grommet and the other part.

Abstract: A ball socket ring seal for use with a ball joint assembly eliminates the need for a boot or bellows to protect the ball joint against the environment. The ball socket ring seal of the invention is positioned between the ball and the socket at the point of contact between the ball and socket. The ball socket ring seal not only provides a seal against the environment, it further functions as a wiper for the ball during articulation of the ball stud. The ball socket ring seal of the present invention reduces the weight and complexity of the ball joint assembly through the elimination of several parts, including the known boots or bellows, retainer rings, bands and clips.
