AI Technical Summary
Existing headrests for vehicle seats lack effective mechanisms to ensure improved positioning and absorption of impact forces, particularly preventing the user's head from slipping off during an impact, while maintaining robustness and reducing the risk of injury.
A headrest design featuring a cushion support with a closed wave profile in the head impact area, comprising horizontally extending wave crests and troughs, which are vertically adjacent or separated, and a profile element made of plastic, optionally integrally connected to a base part, ensuring secure head positioning and impact force absorption.
The design provides enhanced head positioning and robustness, reducing the risk of injury by effectively absorbing impact forces and preventing the head from slipping, while being lightweight and cost-effective to produce.
