Rotation of the first motor and the first threaded shaft results in vertical translation of a first threaded nut carrier such that a height of the headrest is adjusted.
Claims20
A headrest, comprising:
- a first assembly comprising a first threaded shaft that is integrated with a first magnetized rotor of a first motor, wherein rotation of the first motor and the first threaded shaft results in vertical translation of a first threaded nut carrier such that a height of the headrest is adjusted.
A headrest, comprising:
- first and second assemblies, each comprising:
- a threaded shaft integrally formed with a magnetized rotor of a motor, wherein rotation of the motor and the threaded shaft results in translation of a threaded nut carrier;
- wherein the first and second assemblies are configured to translate the headrest vertically and horizontally, respectively.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a seating assembly having a headrest, wherein the headrest comprises:
- a first assembly comprising a first threaded shaft that is integrated with a first magnetized rotor of a first motor, wherein rotation of the first motor and the first threaded shaft results in vertical translation of a first threaded nut carrier such that a height of the headrest is adjusted;
- and
- a second assembly comprising a second threaded shaft that is integrated with a second magnetized rotor of a second motor, wherein rotation of the second motor and the second threaded shaft results in horizontal translation of a second threaded nut carrier such that a horizontal position of the headrest is adjusted.
