Abstract: A headrest assembly for use in a vehicle seat. The headrest assembly includes one or more support arms that are connected to a seatback frame. An adjustable connection assembly connects at least a portion of the one or more support arms to at least a portion of the headrest body. The adjustable connection assembly allows the head rest body to move in a forward and rearward direction, to move in an up and down direction, and/or to pivot relative to the seatback frame of the vehicle seat.

Abstract: A headrest assembly includes a headrest body as well as a first support arm with a seatback rear support connection to a rear of a seatback and a cantilevered portion extending upwardly to a first headrest connection end. A second support arm has a rear seatback support connection and a cantilevered portion extending upwardly to a second headrest connection end. The first headrest connection end and the second headrest connection end are spaced apart a distance in the lateral direction to form a support connection. An adjustable connection is provided between the headrest body and the support connection. The adjustable connection includes a height adjustment means for adjusting a position of the headrest body relative to the support connection in a height direction.

Abstract: A retractable interface assembly includes a base member defining a track and a track follower support member engaging the track and moving along the track between a retracted position and an extended position. A viewing angle detent mechanism pivotably connects an interface panel to the track follower support member and defines a plurality of angular positions of the interface panel relative to the track follower support member, including a storage angle position and a full up angle position, to fix the interface panel relative to the track follower support member in one of the plurality of angular positions. A position setting device sets a position of the track follower support member along the track of the base member. The set positions include the retracted position and the extended position of the track follower support member along the track of the base member.

Abstract: A charging integration system for a vehicle. The charging integration system includes a seat structure, a charging system carrier and a charging station structure. The charging system carrier is pivotably connected to the seat structure. The charging station structure is movably connected to the charging system carrier. The charging integration system allows one or more devices to be charged wirelessly or by a physical connector that connects the one or more devices to the charging station structure.

Abstract: An adjustable vehicle seat configured to support an occupant in a vehicle may include a seat cushion portion, a seat back portion including a backrest movable relative to the seat cushion portion, and a contour linkage linked to the seat cushion portion and the backrest. The contour linkage may be configured to impose force on the backrest upon movement of the seat cushion portion relative to the backrest in at least one of a fore/aft, vertical, and rotational direction. The backrest may be configured such that a backrest contour is altered based on force imposed by the contour linkage in response to movement of the seat cushion portion relative to the backrest. The backrest contour may include at least one of a contour angle of an occupant-side surface of the backrest, a maximum offset of the occupant-side surface, and vertical height of a contour apex.

Abstract: A seat structure including at least one frame having one or more thin walled complex geometry structures and a process for forming the at least one frame via an additive manufacturing process.
