  • Patent number: 10577857
    Abstract: A tambour door has an elongated first slat, at least one elongated second slat extending parallel to and adjacent the first slot and a deformable connecting strip extending along the first and second slats. Interengageable anchor formations on the strip and on the slits coupling same together while permitting the slats to move limitedly transversely of themselves relative to one another.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8814227
    Abstract: A latch secures an element such as a motor-vehicle headrest for movement relative to a support between a rest position and an advanced position. A pivotal lever can hold the element in the rest position. A spring pushes the element into the advanced position and presses it against the lever so as to apply a torque to the lever that presses a latch formation on the lever against a retractile latch part of an actuator. If the actuator retracts the part, the lever is released and the lever can pivot to allow the spring to move the element into the advanced position.

  • Patent number: 8662592
    Abstract: A motor-vehicle headrest has a base fixable to a motor vehicle seat and a cushion support having a forwardly directed front face adapted to engage a head of a person in the seat. An upper link has a front end pivoted at an upper support axis on the support and a rear end pivoted at an upper base axis on the base, and a lower link having a front end pivoted at a lower support axis on the support offset downward from the upper support axis and a rear end pivoted at a lower base axis on the base offset downward from the upper base axis. The cushion is shiftable relative to the base between a rear position and a front position on pivoting of the links about the respective axes. A rigid brace is pivoted on the upper link between the upper axes and on the lower link between the lower axes.
