Patent number: 11613192Abstract: A height-adjustable headrest may have a base support element and a supporting element. The supporting element may be arranged in the base support element. The supporting element may be guidable in a longitudinally displaceable manner in an X direction. In order to form a guide, the basic supporting element may have a number of openings and the supporting element may have a number of guide parts. A shape of the number of openings may correspond to a shape of the number of guide parts.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2019Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Adient US LLCInventors: Philippe Morilhat, Felix Manduzio, Christophe Moriniere

Patent number: 11247594Abstract: A headrest element may have a central supporting region and two lateral supporting regions. The lateral supporting regions may be pivotable with respect to the central supporting region about a side pivot axis, which may run at least substantially parallel to a supporting surface of the central supporting region, in such a manner that an angle of the supporting surfaces of the lateral supporting regions can in each case be adjusted variably with respect to the supporting surface of the central supporting region. The central supporting region and the lateral supporting regions may be jointly pivotable about a transverse pivot axis, which runs at least substantially perpendicular to the side pivot axes, in such a manner that an adjustment of the supporting regions in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is possible. A headrest using the headrest element is also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2019Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Adient Engineering and IP GMBHInventors: Philippe Morilhat, Christophe Fritsch, Christophe Moriniere

Patent number: 9446693Abstract: In a height-adjustable arrangement of a head restraint on a vehicle seat, the head restraint or at least one cushion of the head restraint is fastened by a receiving plate fixed on a framework to a receiving slide of a height-adjustment mechanism. The receiving slide is arranged in a height-displaceable manner on at least one guide element of the height-adjustment mechanism by at least two actuating pulls acting in an opposed manner on the receiving slide, the guide element being arranged in or on a holding element of the head restraint. A vehicle seat can include a height-adjustable head restraint.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2012Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Philippe Morilhat, Mikulas Ptasinsky, Peter Pastorek

Patent number: 8398173Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2006Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Johnson Controls GmbHInventors: Philippe Morilhat, Francois Zaepfel, Paul Quirin, Eugenie Geisinger, Yves Olland, Nicolas Mehl
