  • Patent number: 10434915
    Abstract: A guide sleeve, for receiving a rod of a headrest, includes a sleeve body that has a rod receptacle for receiving the rod and an elastic region that is force-loaded in a direction of the rod receptacle in order to fix the rod in the rod receptacle. A spring element arranged on the outer contour of the sleeve body spring-loaded the elastic region. The spring element has a contact region adjacent to the elastic region, is configured as a clip that partially embraces the sleeve body and has a width in a sleeve body axial direction. The spring element includes a strip main body and the contact region is configured as a protuberance between two first bending points extending across the entire width of the main body. A vehicle seat for a motor vehicle has a backrest and a headrest, wherein the guide sleeve fastens the headrest to the backrest.

  • Patent number: 8621956
    Abstract: An actuator (1) for a vehicle includes a base (4), a covering element (5), a handle piece (6) arranged rotatably in the covering element (5), and a cable (25) with a terminal fitting (26). The actuator (1) is insertable into a metal structure of a vehicle seat backrest. The base (4) has a guiding element (32) that moves the terminal fitting (26) into an initial position for assembling the handling piece (6) to the terminal fitting (26). The guiding element (32) is between a core (24) of the cable (25) and prevents the terminal fitting (26) from rotating.
