Automobile entertainment system
View Patent ↗An automobile entertainment system includes a video system mounted within an automobile headrest. The headrest includes a headrest body and a first downwardly extending headrest extension arm having a passage therethrough. The video system includes a multi-wire cable extending therefrom and the multi-wire cable passes through the first extension arm, wherein the multi-wire cable includes a connection assembly at a distal end thereof. The connection assembly is coupled to distal ends of wires making up the multi-wire cable and the distal ends of the wires are staggered facilitating passage of the multi-wire cable through the headrest extension arm.
1. An automobile entertainment system, comprising:
a video system including a video monitor mounted within an automobile headrest, the headrest including a headrest body and a first downwardly extending headrest extension arm including a passage therethrough;
a multi-wire cable extending directly from the video monitor, wherein the multi-wire cable includes a low-profile snap connection assembly at a distal end thereof, the connection assembly is coupled to distal ends of wires making up the multi-wire cable and includes snap connectors at the distal ends of respective wires, and the distal ends of the wires are staggered facilitating passage of the entire multi-wire cable, including the low-profile snap connection assembly, from the video system, fully through the headrest extension arm, and to a power source within an automobile;
wherein by staggering the snap connectors connected at the distal ends of respective wires passage of the multi-wire cable fully through the headrest extension arm is facilitated by positioning the snap connectors at different lengths along the snap connection assembly so as to provide a lower profile assembly and permit the passage of additional wires through the headrest extension arms.
2. The entertainment system according to claim 1 , wherein the video system includes a monitor and a video source.
3. The entertainment system according to claim 2 , wherein the video source is a DVD player.
4. The entertainment system according to claim 1 , wherein the multi-wire cable includes a power supply wire and an audio wire.
5. The entertainment system according to claim 1 , wherein the video system includes only a single multi-wire cable.
6. The entertainment system according to claim 1 , further including a central control module to which the multi-wire cable is coupled.
7. The entertainment system according to claim 6 , wherein a main automobile power source is coupled to the central control module supplying power to the video system via the multi-wire cable.
