Patent number: 9987958Abstract: A headrest assembly includes a linkage system with a first adjustment mechanism configured to power fore and aft movement of a mounting plate. A headrest bun is slideably coupled to the mounting plate and is vertically adjustable via a second adjustment mechanism. A telescoping cover assembly is operable between stowed and deployed positions and configured to substantially conceal the linkage system as the linkage system moves between extended and retracted positions. A disconnect clip includes a first portion disposed on one or more support posts configured to support the headrest assembly, and a second portion disposed on the seatback frame. Power is provided to the first and second adjustment mechanisms when the first portion of the disconnect clip is electrically coupled to the second portion of the disconnect clip.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2015Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Marcos Silva Kondrad, Johnathan Andrew Line, David Frederick Lyons, Nicholas Alphonse Billardello, Yalie Yan-rush, Christian J.

Patent number: 9566884Abstract: A powered head restraint includes a base bracket with elongate supports that are configured to easily engage a seatback guide during vehicle assembly and to provide an electrical connection for adjustment actuation of the head restraint. A first electrical connector is fixedly attached to the elongate support of the head restraint. A second electrical connector is operably connected to an upper portion of the seatback such that engagement of the elongate support with a support guide occurs simultaneously with engagement of the first electrical connector with the second electrical connector.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2014Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Johnathan Andrew Line, Marcos Silva Kondrad, Nicholas Alphonse Billardello, David Frederick Lyons, Jr., Christian J.

Patent number: 9527414Abstract: A vehicle seating assembly includes a seatback. A head restraint is operably coupled with the seatback by first and second support posts. The head restraint is operable between a stowed position and a use position. A lower brace is operably coupled with a lower portion of the head restraint. An upper brace is operably coupled with an upper portion of the head restraint. A latching mechanism is coupled with the seatback and operably coupled with the upper brace and the lower brace. The latching mechanism is operable between a first position corresponding to the stowed position of the head restraint, and a second position corresponding to the use position of the head restraint.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2016Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Joseph S. Talamonti, Mandeep Singh Sidhu, Yalie Yan-rush, Steven Carnago, Marcos Silva Kondrad, Johnathan Andrew Line

Patent number: 9333887Abstract: A vehicle headrest assembly includes a headrest member operably coupled to a seatback. The headrest member is moveable between upright and folded positions relative to the seatback. A support assembly includes first and second linkages which are pivotally coupled to the headrest member and the seatback at opposite ends thereof. First and second latch brackets are coupled to the first and second linkages respectively and operable between latched and unlatched positions for moving the headrest member to the folded position from the upright position when the latch brackets are in the unlatched position.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2014Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Joseph S. Talamonti, Mandeep Singh Sidhu, Yalie Yan-rush, Steven Carnago, Marcos Silva Kondrad, Johnathan Andrew Line

Patent number: 9315130Abstract: A head restraint includes a base bracket with support posts that are configured to easily engage a seatback during vehicle assembly and to provide an electrical connection for adjustment actuation of the head restraint. A front link and a rear link pivotally couple with an upper portion of the seatback. A head support member is pivotally coupled with the front and rear links to define a four-bar linkage. The head support member is moveable between fore and aft positions via the front and rear links. A cushion is slidably coupled with a base portion of the head support member and is thereby moveable between upper and lower positions. Separate actuators are contained within a trim enclosure of the head restraint to effectuate adjustments of the cushion between fore and aft positions and upper and lower positions.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2013Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Marc Kondrad, Johnathan Andrew Line, Gunnar Groesbeck, Yalie Yan-rush
