Abstract: A method for the semi-automated assembly of a headrest for a vehicle seat, including the following method steps: feeding a cover stretched in a holder of the headrest to a conveying device, which cover includes an opening, such that an edge region of the opening is held open by the holder in such a way that a head box can be inserted into an inner space of the cover; transporting the holder in the conveying device to at least one workstation; feeding and mounting of an upholstered part; orienting seam edges of the cover; automatic assembly of a head box assembly in an inner space of the pocket-like cover; closing the opening of the cover; removing the headrest from the holder; removing the holder from the conveying device; and performing an ironing process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mount assembly comprising a frame (A) for mounting at least one headrest support rod (13a, 13b) and formed with at least one locating seat (29) for locating and mounting the support rod (13a, 13b) and an escutcheon (19) that can be fixed to the frame (A) and that has a first centering formation (23) that acts in conjunction with second centering formation (42) of the device (10) in order to center a central axis m1 of a guide passage (43) formed in the escutcheon (19) with a central axis m2 of the locating seat (29). The special feature is that the escutcheon (19) has a first positioning formation (35) that acts in conjunction with a second positioning formation (30) of the mount assembly in order to define an angular position of the escutcheon (19) about the central is axis m1 relative to the frame (A).
