摘要： An head restraint with an insert on seats in motor vehicles whereby said head restraint controls occupant's head acceleration and reduces neck loading in cases of impact. This head restraint comprises a post of any shape inserted into a seatback, foam of a desired thickness, an insert sized to cover a majority of the surface area on the front face and top of said head restraint, and a trim cover. Alternatively, the head restraint may be of integral design without posts. The insert is meant to float within foam in the head restraint and one can use clips or locating pins during manufacturing to obtain desired floating effect.

摘要： A vehicle seat assembly that includes a seatback frame and an upper armature moveably supported by the seatback frame. The upper armature includes a head restraint and a first impact body, and the upper armature is operable to move in response to a predetermined force applied to the first impact body to thereby move the head restraint toward the occupant. The vehicle seat assembly also includes a lower armature that is operatively connected to the upper armature and is operable to move toward the upper armature in response to a predetermined force applied to the lower armature and act on the upper armature to move the head restraint toward the occupant.

摘要： A test assembly for evaluating vehicle head restraints comprises a carriage adapted to be coupled to a drive member capable of moving the test assembly, a head restraint coupled to the carriage and a manikin assembly having a head portion and a neck portion with an upper and lower end. The head portion couples to the upper end of the neck portion and the manikin assembly couples to the carriage at the lower end of the neck assembly. The head restraint is positioned adjacent the manikin assembly so that movement of the drive member causes the head portion of the manikin assembly to contact the head restraint. The manikin assembly may further include a load cell and accelerometer for evaluating the effectiveness and performance of a particular head restraint design.

摘要： A head restraint arrangement for a vehicle seat and a method of manufacture. The head restraint arrangement comprises a support member, a cushion disposed around the support member, and an insert panel disposed in the cushion. The insert panel moves toward the support member in response to force exerted by a head of a seat occupant to distribute force and reduce deformation of the cushion.
