HEADREST ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
A method for preparing a wire for installation in a headrest entertainment system includes forming a receiving portion in a headrest, inserting a first wire having first connectors through a headrest post and into the receiving portion, mounting a media device to the headrest, the media device comprising a second wire having second connectors, connecting the first connectors and the second connectors, folding the connected first wire and the second wire, placing the folded wires inside a connector cover, and inserting the connector cover into the receiving portion.
1 . A method for preparing a wire for installation in a headrest entertainment system, the method comprising:
forming a receiving portion in a headrest;
inserting a first wire having first connectors through a headrest post and into the receiving portion;
mounting a media device to the headrest, the media device comprising a second wire having second connectors;
connecting the first connectors and the second connectors;
folding the connected first wire and the second wire;
placing the folded wires inside a connector cover; and
inserting the connector cover into the receiving portion.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
wrapping the first connectors attached to the first wire with a wire wrapper for covering the first connectors;
feeding the first wire through the headrest post; and
removing the wire wrapper.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein placing the folded wires inside the connector cover comprises:
opening the connector cover; and
closing the connector cover around the folded wires.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving portion receives the headrest post.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving portion is formed near a bottom of the headrest.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein two first receiving portions are formed near bottom corners of the headrest.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the connector cover is formed in a tube shape.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the tube-shaped connector cover comprises a cavity.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the connectors comprise electrical components for providing at least one of power, ground and audio/video connections for the entertainment system.
10 . A headrest entertainment system for a vehicle, comprising:
a headrest including a receiving portion;
a first wire having first connectors;
a media device disposed in the headrest, and including a second wire having second connectors; and
a connector cover for receiving mated first and second wires, wherein the connector cover is disposed in the receiving portion.
11 . The headrest entertainment system of claim 10 , wherein the connector cover comprises a cavity formed therein.
12 . The headrest entertainment system of claim 10 , wherein the connector cover is formed in a tube shape.
13 . The headrest entertainment system of claim 10 , wherein two receiving portions are formed near bottom corners of the headrest.
14 . A device for preparing a wire for installation in a headrest entertainment system for a vehicle, the device comprising:
a connector cover for receiving the wire including a plurality of connectors in a cavity formed in the connector cover.
15 . The device of claim 14 , wherein the connector cover is formed in a tube shape.
16 . The device of claim 14 , wherein the connector cover comprises at least an opening through which the wire is inserted into the cavity.
17 . The device of claim 15 , wherein the tube-shaped connector cover is opened into two pieces to receive the wire in the cavity.
18 . The device of claim 14 , wherein the connector cover comprises plastic.
