Patent number: 6270161Abstract: A headrest for motor-vehicle seats comprising a yielding body connected to a pair of supports, to be fixed to the backrest of a motor-vehicle seat, through an articulated parallelogram system formed by two pairs of swinging arms by means of which the yielding body can be displaced between a lowered position and a raised position. To hold the yielding body in the raised position or, respectively, in the lowered position a locking system is provided which, in the raised position of the yielding body, applies a retaining force appreciably higher than in the lowered position of the yielding body and can be released by a push-button arranged on one side of the yielding body.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 1999Date of Patent: August 7, 2001Assignee: Gestind M.B.

Patent number: 5738810Abstract: A method for the manufacturing of a headrest or a steering wheel or an armrest for motor vehicles comprises the steps of forming a pillow element, laying an upholstery flexible sheet onto the front surface of the pillow element, and introducing the pillow element with the flexible sheet as an insert into a foaming mould having a complementarily shaped seat. An outer body is thus foamed within the mould around the seat, so as to permanently secure the outer body simultaneously to the pillow element and to the perimetral edge of the flexible sheet.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 1996Date of Patent: April 14, 1998Assignee: Gestind-M.B.
