Abstract: A cushioning element, such as for a vehicle occupant protection device, comprises a cover, a filling material and at least one textile sheet. The textile sheet is foam-encapsulated in addition to the cover. Opening of the cover takes place reliably and reproducibly when an inflatable occupant protection device is activated. The textile sheet influences the opening of the cover when the inflatable device is activated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a headrest for a vehicle, a method for producing a headrest, and a vehicle seat comprising a headrest. The headrest is provided with a body (2) and a holding element (3). A filling material (23) is provided between a connection part (22), used to connect the holding element (3) to the headrest body (2), and a cover (21). The connection part (22) and the cover (21) define an essentially tight space in relation to the filling material (23) when the filling material (23) is in the essentially liquid processing state thereof.

Abstract: A process for the production of a headrest with an articulated insert, comprises casting in situ polyurethane foam (7) within an external cover in which is disposed an insert (5) having articulated legs (4) that protrude from the cover, then hollowing out, by means of heating elements (2), swinging spaces (3) for the articulated legs (4) of the insert (5) by hot fusion of the external cover (6) and of the polyurethane foam (7) at the corresponding locations (8) of the headrest (1), and simultaneously heat sealing the external cover (6) and the surface of the polyurethane foam (7) bordering the swinging spaces (3).
