Movable head restraints for vehicle seats

摘要

A vehicle head restraint assembly has a guide member mounted proximate to a vehicle seat back. A head restraint is mounted to another guide member. A button actuator is mounted to an outboard side of the head restraint for movement of the button actuator in a direction perpendicular to a lateral direction of the head restraint. A locking mechanism cooperates with the first guide member and the second guide member for locking the second guide member relative to the first guide member. The locking mechanism is connected to the button actuator so that actuation of the button actuator disengages the locking mechanism and permits adjustment of the position of the head restraint relative to the vehicle seat back.

主权项

1. A vehicle head restraint assembly comprising:
a first guide member adapted to be mounted to a vehicle seat back; a second guide member mounted to the first guide member for movement in an upright direction relative to the first guide member; a head restraint mounted to the second guide member; a first locking mechanism cooperating with the first guide member and the second guide member for locking the second guide member relative to the first guide member in an upright position; a first button actuator mounted to an outboard side of the head restraint and connected to the first locking mechanism so that actuation of the first button actuator disengages the first locking mechanism for permitting adjustment of the upright position of the head restraint relative to the vehicle seat back; a third guide member mounted to the second guide member; a fourth guide member mounted to the third guide member for movement relative to the third guide member in a fore-aft direction; and a second locking mechanism cooperating with the third guide member and the fourth guide member for locking the fourth guide member relative to the third guide member in a fore-aft position; a second button actuator mounted to the outboard side of the head restraint and connected to the second locking mechanism so that actuation of the second button actuator disengages the second locking mechanism for permitting adjustment of the fore-aft position of the head restraint relative to the vehicle seat back.
