Abstract
A headrest includes a stay having left and right legs; a headrest main body attached to the stay and able to rotate in a front-rear direction; a pair of elongated holes made in a bottom surface of the headrest main body and a pair of closing members arranged on the bottom surface of the headrest main body, covering the elongated holes, wherein each closing member includes a main plate and a sub-plate, the main plate has an insertion hole guiding one leg of the stay and moves in the front-rear direction as the main plate is rotated, and the sub-plate is provided, overlapping the main plate, and is able to move as the main plate moves; the main plate and the sub-plate may move as the headrest main body is rotated, while covering the elongated hole made in the bottom surface of the headrest main body.
Claims5
A headrest comprising:
- a stay having left and right legs;
- a headrest main body attached to the stay and able to rotate in a front-rear direction;
- an under-cover attached to the headrest main body from below, defining a bottom surface of the headrest main body,
- a pair of elongated holes made in the under-cover of the bottom surface of the headrest main body, extending in the front-rear direction and spaced apart in a left-right direction and guiding the legs of the stay, thereby allowing the under-cover to rotate in the front-rear direction;
- and
- a pair of closing members arranged on the under-cover, covering the elongated holes, respectively, and able to move on the under-cover in the front-rear direction,
- wherein each closing member includes a main plate and a sub-plate, both arranged on the under-cover, with the main plate lying above the sub-plate, the main plate has an insertion hole guiding one leg of the stay and moves in the front-rear direction as the main plate is rotated, and the sub-plate is provided, overlapping the main plate, and is able to move as the main plate moves;
- each leg of the stay extends in the up-down direction through not only the elongated hole made in the under-cover, but also the insertion hole of the main plate;
- and
- an auxiliary elongated hole is made in the sub-plate, each leg of the stay extends through the auxiliary elongated hole,
- the main plate and the sub-plate move in the front-rear direction as the headrest main body is rotated, while covering and closing, respectively, the auxiliary elongated hole made in the sub-plate and the elongated hole made in the under-cover,
- the main plate has restricting slits,
- the sub-plate has restricting projections protruding from the sub-plate and loosely fitted in the restricting slits, respectively, and
- the restricting slits and the restricting projections guide the main plate on the sub-plate and restrict a motion of the main plate on the sub-plate.
