Headrest for a vehicle
View Patent ↗A headrest ( 1 ) for a vehicle has a headrest body ( 1.1 ). The headrest body ( 1.1 ) has a substantially C-shaped cross section. A holder ( 5 ), for holding at least one object ( 3 ), is arranged inside a hollow space (H) enclosed by the C-shaped cross section. The holder ( 5 ) is integral with the headrest body ( 1.1 ) and is formed by a molded portion, or several molded portions, of the headrest body ( 1.1 ), and/or by at least one mechanically flexible portion of the headrest body ( 1.1 ). The headrest body ( 1.1 ) is thereby configured such that the object ( 3 ) can be retained by a clamping between the limbs of the C-shaped cross section.
1. A headrest for a vehicle, comprising a headrest body, wherein:
the headrest body has a substantially C-shaped cross section having limbs;
a holding device for holding at least one object is arranged within a cavity partially enclosed by the C-shaped cross section;
the holding device is formed by one molded portion or a plurality of molded portions of the headrest body or by at least one mechanically flexible portion of the headrest body, or by one molded portion or a plurality of molded portions of the headrest body and by at least one mechanically flexible portion of the headrest body;
the headrest body is configured such that the at least one object is holdable by clamping between the limbs of the C-shaped cross section; and
the holding device is configured to hold the at least one object such that a first lateral side and a second lateral side of the at least one object is not covered by a portion of the headrest body.
2. The headrest as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the holding device comprises at least one elongate depression introduced into at least one portion of the headrest body, the elongate depression running substantially perpendicularly to the C-shaped cross section.
3. The headrest as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the holding device comprises elongate depressions introduced into at least one portion of the headrest body, the elongate depressions running substantially perpendicularly to the C-shaped cross section and substantially parallel to one another.
4. The headrest as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the holding device comprises at least one fastening structure attached to at least one portion of the headrest body.
5. The headrest as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the fastening structure comprises a web structure or a stud structure or both a web structure and a stud structure.
6. The headrest as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the fastening structure comprises web structures or stud structures, or both web structures and stud structures, running parallel next to one another and substantially perpendicularly to the C-shaped cross section.
7. The headrest as claimed in claim 1 , wherein part of the holding device is formed by an add-on part fastened to the headrest body.
8. The headrest as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the add-on part comprises or forms at least one edge running substantially perpendicularly to the C-shaped cross section.
9. The headrest as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the edge is formed on an actuable button in an unactuated state.
10. The headrest as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the add-on part comprises at least one positioning element.
11. The headrest as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the headrest body comprises a headrest body portion arranged between the limbs, the headrest body portion comprising an arcuate outer surface, each of the limbs extending outward of the headrest body portion in a rearward direction of the headrest body.
12. The headrest as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the holding device and the headrest body are open on a front side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side.
13. The headrest as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the holding device and the headrest body are configured to receive the at least one object from one of the first lateral side and the second lateral side.
14. The headrest as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the limbs comprises an arcuate surface.
15. The headrest as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the limbs are clamping limbs.
16. A headrest for a vehicle, comprising a headrest body, wherein:
the headrest body has a substantially C-shaped cross section having limbs;
a holding device for holding at least one object is arranged within a cavity partially enclosed by the C-shaped cross section;
the holding device is formed by one molded portion or a plurality of molded portions of the headrest body or by at least one mechanically flexible portion of the headrest body, or by one molded portion or a plurality of molded portions of the headrest body and by at least one mechanically flexible portion of the headrest body;
the headrest body is configured such that the at least one object is holdable by clamping between the limbs of the C-shaped cross section;
the holding device and the headrest body are open on a front side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side; and
the holding device and the headrest body are configured to receive the at least one object from one of the first lateral side and the second lateral side.
