Abstract: A headrest has a base carrying the headrest on a seat, a head piece forming an abutment for a head, and a four-bar linkage including a first link and at least one second link therebehind in a direction of displacement. Each link is secured at one pivot with the base and at another pivot with the head piece such that the head piece is movable by the four-bar linkage relative to the base between a first end position and a second end position. An adjuster can alter and/or arrest the relative position between one of the links and the head piece, or between one of the links and the base. This adjuster has a first slotted link fixed on one of the first and second links, a second slotted link fixed on the head piece or the base, and a slide block engaged in slots of the first and second slotted links.

A coupling body engaged in the first formation and in the second formation is movable along the first formation and the second formation. A longitudinal centerline of the first formation and a longitudinal centerline of the second formation form an angle in at least one region of a movement path of the coupling body along the formations.

Abstract: A drive for a motor-vehicle accessory has a drive motor, a controller that regulates the drive motor, and a sensor associated with the drive motor and that measures the motor speed of the drive motor and transmits to the controller a signal having a pulse rate corresponding to the motor speed. A pulse-rate modifier between the sensor of the drive motor and the controller serves to modify the pulse rate received from the drive motor in such a way that this rate is within a range of the pulse rate processable by the controller and to transmit a modified value of the pulse rate to the controller.

The special feature is that the drive (14, 15, 16, 22) has an overload safety device (17) that can be moved from a starting position into a release position when a maximum force acting on the adjustment part (13) is exceeded, and, in the release position, the drive (14, 15, 16, 22) is at least partially relieved of the force acting on the adjustment part (13).

Abstract: The invention relates inter alia to a drive (10) for a component (13) for a motor-vehicle accessory comprising a drive motor (16) and a controller (17) regulating the drive motor (16), and a sensor associated with the drive motor (16) measures the motor speed (nMotor) of the drive motor (16) and transmits a pulse rate (PMotor) corresponding to the motor speed to the controller (17). The special feature is that a pulse-rate modifier (18) is provided between the sensor of the drive motor (16) and the controller (17), and modifies the pulse rate (PMotor) received from the drive motor (16) in such a way that this rate is within a range of the pulse rate (PSteuergeratMax) processable by the controller (17), and that the pulse-rate modifier (18) transmits a modified value of the pulse rate (PReduz) to the controller (17).

Abstract: A vehicle interior fixture has first and second elements movable relative to each other by an adjuster that is carried on the first element and that has at least one passage and a row or string of solid bodies in contact with one another, guided in and extending along the passage, and movable relative to the passage. At least one of the solid bodies bears on the second element. A drive element engaging the row or string of solid bodies at a location offset from the one body bearing on the second element is movable for pushing the row or string and thereby transmitting force by compression through the row or string to the one body and the second element to displace same.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle headrest has a head part and a base part, the latter being surrounded by and shiftable on the head part in a predetermined direction. A pair of inner racks on the base part are directed oppositely outward toward the head part and each have an array extending in the direction of gear teeth. Similarly, a pair of outer racks on the base part are directed toward each other inward, confront the inner racks, and are formed with respective arrays extending in the direction of gear teeth. Respective gears each mesh with a respective one of the outer racks and the respective inner rack so that on movement between the inner and outer positions the gears roll between the respective racks. A play compensator between one of the racks and the respective part biases the racks and gears into tight engagement with one another.
