Abstract

The present invention relates to a headrest controlling apparatus, and more particularly, to a headrest controlling apparatus which includes a headrest cover, a bracket installed on a stay rod, and a locking member installed in the bracket to fix a position of a headrest, wherein the headrest cover includes a stay rod coupling part to which the stay rod is rotatably coupled, and thus the headrest controlling apparatus can minimize a distance from the stay rod to a front lower edge of the apparatus, can be easily assembled due to the modularized bracket and locking member, and can be easily operated due to increased precision of the locking member.

Claims (29)

1. A headrest controlling apparatus comprising:

a headrest cover;

a bracket being installed on a stay rod; and

a locking member, being installed in the bracket, fixing a position of a headrest, and including:

a guide rod rotatably installed in the bracket;

a sliding member slidably installed on the guide rod and rotatably installed in the headrest cover; and

a fixing part configured to allow the sliding member to move or not to move on the guide rod;

wherein the headrest cover includes a stay rod coupling part to which the stay rod is rotatably coupled,

wherein the fixing part includes:

a notch formed in the guide rod;

a moving member, being slidably installed on the sliding member, having a catching part inserted into the notch; and

a reinforcing member formed in the catching part;

wherein the guide rod includes a rod main body,

wherein the catching part includes a second through hole which the rod main body is inserted thereinto,

wherein the reinforcing member surrounds the second through hole,

wherein at least a part of the reinforcing member is exposed at the outside so that the reinforcing member is inserted into and caught by the notch,

the headrest cover includes at least a first headrest cover and a second headrest cover; and

sliding member coupling parts are divided and formed in the first headrest cover and the second headrest cover,

the sliding member coupling parts include a first sliding member coupling part and a second sliding member coupling part,

the first and second sliding member coupling parts are coupled to each other when the first headrest cover and the second headrest cover are coupled to each other,

a cover coupling part is formed at the sliding member,

both sides of the cover coupling part are inserted into the first and second sliding member coupling parts and,

the sliding member is rotatably installed in the headrest cover via the connection between the sliding member coupling parts and the cover coupling part, wherein each of the headrest covers is molded as one-piece.

2. The headrest controlling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the stay rod coupling part includes a through hole into which the stay rod is inserted;

and

the through hole is formed in the first headrest cover and the second headrest cover.

3. The headrest controlling apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the stay rod coupling part includes a through hole into which the stay rod is inserted, and the stay rod coupling part includes at least one separation part so that the through hole communicates with the outside.
