Patent number: 9522619Abstract: A bushing allows for adjustability of a position of a headrest. The bushing includes a head portion having an opening and a passageway opening. The bushing also includes a body portion defining an internal passageway. The passageway opening of the head portion is aligned with the internal passageway of the body portion. The body portion includes a wall surrounding an area of reduced thickness, and a protrusion is located on an internal surface of the area of reduced thickness. The bushing also includes a moveable portion received in the opening of the head portion. The moveable portion is moveable between a first position where a feature engages a notch of a post receivable in the internal passageway of the body portion and the passageway opening of the head portion to retain the headrest in a position and a second position where the feature is disengaged from the notch of the post, allowing the post and the headrest to move relative to the bushing.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2015Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignees: Toyota Boshoku America, Inc., Gen-X Engineering Solution, Inc.Inventors: Brett Ronzi, Troy Allen Isaacson

Patent number: 6099077Abstract: An improved head restraint assembly 16 for motor vehicle seats 10 for enabling a head restraint pad 18 to be moved with respect to a motor vehicle seat 10. The assembly 16 includes a removable tubular bushing 22 mounted to the seat back 14 and having an inside bore 24 for receiving a head restraint pad post 20. The bushing 22 further provides a head 26 outside the seat 10 having a socket 32 adapted to receive a button sub-assembly 38 which enables the head restraint pad 18 to be adjusted to various heights. The button sub-assembly 38 includes a spring 40 having a detent portion 48, and an actuator portion 42 movable with respect to the head 26. The detent 48 is biased into alignment with a retainer notch 52 formed on the post 20 and is movable out of alignment with the post 20 by moving the actuator portion 42, thereby allowing the post 20 to move longitudinally within the bore 24.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1998Date of Patent: August 8, 2000Assignee: Centura Group, Inc.Inventor: Troy Allen Isaacson
