Pillow headrest for aircraft cabin seat
The invention mainly concerns a headrest, in particular for an aircraft seat, including a central portion and at least one wing positioned at at least one end of the central portion, wherein the headrest includes at least one hinge interposed between the wing and the central portion, the hinge being configured to allow at least two relative movements of the wing relative to the central portion about at least one axis.
1. A headrest for an aircraft seat comprising:
a central portion;
at least one wing positioned at one end of the central portion; the at least one wing being mechanically connected to the central portion without another intermediate wing interposed between the at least one wing and the central portion and
at least one hinge interposed between the at least one wing and the central portion, the at least one hinge being configured to allow at least two relative movements of the at least one wing relative to the central portion about at least one axis,
wherein the at least one hinge is configured to allow a rotation of the at least one wing relative to the central portion about at least one of a first axis or a second axis,
wherein the at least one hinge is at least bidirectional and comprises:
a first hinge capable of allowing a rotational movement of the at least one wing relative to the central portion about said first axis,
a second hinge capable of allowing a rotational movement of the at least one wing about the second axis; and
the first hinge and the second hinge being mechanically connected together.
2. The headrest of claim 1 , wherein the first axis and the second axis form a non-zero angle with respect to one another.
3. The headrest of claim 1 , wherein the first axis is substantially vertical.
4. The headrest of claim 1 , wherein the second axis is substantially horizontal.
5. The headrest of claim 1 , wherein the at least one hinge comprises a slideway capable of allowing a movement of translation of the at least one wing relative to the central portion.
6. The headrest of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the at least one hinge or the slideway are friction-based in order to maintain the at least one wing in position after its adjustment.
7. The headrest of claim 1 , wherein the first hinge comprises a first bracket fastened on the central portion and a first arm rotatably mounted relative to the first bracket.
8. The headrest of claim 7 , wherein the second hinge comprises a second bracket firmly connected to the first arm of the first hinge and a second arm rotatably mounted relative to the second bracket.
9. The headrest of claim 8 , wherein a slideway is borne by the second arm of the second hinge.
10. The headrest of claim 1 , comprising a cover fastened on an edge of the at least one wing covering at least one of the first hinge or the second hinge.
11. A seat intended to be installed in an aircraft cabin, wherein the seat comprises the headrest of claim 1 .
12. The seat of claim 11 , comprising a backrest and the headrest comprises a mounting device that slides relative to the backrest.
13. The seat of claim 12 , wherein the mounting device comprises a support equipped with at least one rod capable of sliding inside an opening produced in the backrest.
