  • Patent number: 10953778
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an armrest (9) for a seat arrangement (1) of a vehicle or a vessel. The armrest is foldable between a use position and a fold-away position and comprises a pad portion (11, 11?), an arm portion (13), a first hinge (15) having a first hinge axis and a second hinge (17, 17?) having a second hinge axis. The pad portion is elongate along a longitudinal axis. The first hinge rotatably connects the pad portion and a first end portion (19) of the arm portion. The second hinge rotatably connects a second end portion (21) of the arm portion to the seat arrangement. The first hinge axis and the second hinge axis have extension directions being parallel or substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pad portion.

  • Patent number: 10562427
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a head rest arrangement for a vehicle seat and a vehicle seat comprising such head rest. The head rest arrangement comprises a cushion portion and a back portion. The head rest arrangement further comprises a displacement arrangement enabling at least the cushion portion to be displaced between at least a first position and a second position with respect to the vehicle seat after being mounted thereto. The displacement arrangement comprising a lock mechanism adapted to lock the cushion portion in the first position and the second position. The displacement arrangement comprises an actuator operable by a user to unlock the lock mechanism. The actuator is made from a compliant material and actuated via a pulling force in a first direction.
