AI Technical Summary
Existing motor vehicle seat headrests with a significant gap between vertically extending tubular metal rods provide inadequate protection against whiplash injuries due to excessive head movement and structural deformation during impacts.
The headrest design features tubular metal rods with a reduced gap between their upper parts, connected by a folded connecting part, allowing the molded plastic structure to slide on these rods, thereby limiting deformation and enhancing safety while freeing up space for additional features like sound transmission modules or lateral support elements.
The reduced gap between the rods enhances safety by minimizing head movement and deformation, while also accommodating additional functional elements without increasing the headrest's thickness.
