Headrest body and headrest
A headrest body ( 1 ) for a headrest ( 3 ) is formed as at least one frame ( 1.1 ) having one or more supporting elements ( 1.4 ). The one or more supporting elements ( 1.4 ) are located on an inside and form a supporting surface ( 1.3 ). The one or more supporting elements ( 1.4 ) are formed by primary forming from a plastics material, in particular a material free of foam materials, or a composite material.
1. A headrest body for a headrest, the headrest body being a single part and cushion-free design and the headrest body comprising:
at least one frame encircling a support surface;
at least one headrest holder protruding from the frame; and
one or more inner flexible support elements forming the support surface, wherein the frame, the headrest holder and the support elements are formed as a single piece construction from a plastics material and/or a composite material by primary forming to form a single piece headrest body structure;
wherein at least one continuous aperture extends through the flexible support elements through the support surface.
2. The headrest body as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support surface is ergonomically configured with an enlarged head support is provided, the one or more inner flexible support elements comprising a support element cross sectional shape, the support element cross sectional shape being different from the profiling of the frame.
3. The headrest body as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support elements are configured as ribs.
4. The headrest body as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more support elements are configured as an individual support layer mounted flexibly.
5. The headrest body as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the at least one carrier is loop or meandering shaped in cross section.
6. The headrest body as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the headrest holder comprises at least one carrier which is profiled in cross section.
7. A headrest comprising:
a single part and cushion-free headrest body comprising:
at least one frame encircling a support surface;
at least one headrest holder protruding from the at least one frame; and
one or more inner flexible support elements forming the support surface, the frame, the headrest holder and the support elements are formed as a single piece constructions from a plastics material and/or a composite material by primary forming to form a single piece headrest body structure;
wherein at least one continuous aperture extends through the flexible support elements through the support surface.
8. The headrest as claimed in claim 7 , wherein:
the one or more inner flexible support elements comprise a support element cross sectional shape;
the support element cross sectional shape is different from the profiling of the frame and
the headrest holder is releasably connected to a carrier.
9. The headrest as claimed in claim 7 , wherein:
the headrest holder is releasably connected to a structural element.
10. A headrest body for a headrest, the headrest body comprising:
a frame;
a plurality of inner flexible support elements, the inner flexible support elements comprising at least one of a plastics material and a composite material, each of the support elements defining a cushion-free and concavely shaped support surface, wherein the frame has a cross sectional contour, each of the inner flexible support elements comprising a support element cross sectional shape, the support element cross sectional shape being different from the cross sectional contour of the frame, the frame surrounding the cushion-free and concavely shaped support surface;
wherein at least one continuous aperture extends through the flexible support elements through the support surface.
11. The headrest body as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the frame comprises a first longitudinal frame portion, a second longitudinal frame portion, a first transverse frame portion connected to the first longitudinal frame portion and the second longitudinal frame portion and a second transverse frame portion connected to the first longitudinal frame portion and the second longitudinal frame portion, wherein the plurality of inner flexible support elements are located between the first longitudinal frame portion, the second longitudinal frame portion, the first transverse frame portion and the second transverse frame portion.
12. The headrest body as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the frame comprises a concave shape, at least a portion of the cross sectional contour comprising one of a loop shape and a meandering shape.
13. The headrest body as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the support surface is ergonomically configured with an enlarged head support.
14. The headrest body as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the support elements are configured as ribs.
15. The headrest body as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the support elements are configured as an individual support layer mounted flexibly.
16. The headrest body as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising at least one headrest holder protruding from the frame.
17. The headrest body as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the headrest holder comprises at least one carrier which is profiled in cross section.
18. The headrest body as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the at least one carrier is loop or meandering shaped in cross section.
