- Some of the objects of the invention have been set forth above. Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear as the description proceeds when taken in conjunction with the following drawings, in which:[0018]
- FIG. 1 is a prior art headrest mounting plate;[0019]
- FIG. 2 is a fragmentary view of a passenger seat with a headrest according to an embodiment of the invention;[0020]
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a headrest mounting plate according to an embodiment of the invention;[0021]
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the headrest mounting plate of FIG. 3 in one adjustment position;[0022]

- FIG. 8 is a cross-section taken along line[0026]7-7 of FIG. 7.
- Referring now specifically to the drawings, a headrest mounting plate according to the prior art is illustrated in FIG. 1 and shown generally at[0027]
reference numeral 10. Themounting plate 10 includes abase 11 attached for vertical sliding movement on amounting bracket 12 that is affixed to the seat back of a seat. A singleside head support 13 is mounted by means of afriction joint 14 tobase 11, and a singleside head support 16 is mounted by means of afriction joint 17 to the opposite side ofbase 11. Themounting plate 10 is shown from the rear, so that adjustment by increasing the angle between thebase 11 and either of the head supports13 or16 would take place by pivoting the head supports13 or16 away from themounting bracket 12. - The prior art[0028]
headrest mounting plate 10 permits the passenger to increase or decrease the amount of support offered to the side of the head, however, the range of adjustment is limited to the relatively small amount of vertical movement of thebase 11 relative to themounting bracket 12. Furthermore, the support offered is of necessity to the side of the head, rather than the upper or lower part of the head. - Referring now to FIG. 2, the relevant portion of a[0029]
passenger seat 20 is shown, and includes aseat back 23 within which is positioned aheadrest mounting plate 24, shown in phantom lines. Aheadrest base 25 supports the head of the passenger when the passenger is reclined against the seat back with the head facing generally forward. In accordance with the invention, theheadrest mounting plate 25 includes first and second pairs of side head supports26 and27. Each of the pairs of side head supports26,27 include an upperside head support side head support headrest 30. As explained in further detail below, each of the head supports26A,26B,27A,27B are independently mounted for pivot movement by the passenger to achieve a comfortable head position. For example, a tall passenger may choose to utilize the upper side supports26A,27A by moving them forwardly to support the head, while leaving the lower side supports26B,27B aligned with the seat back23 in order to avoid impinging on the shoulders. Conversely, a shorter passenger may choose to use only the lower head supports26B,27B, while leaving the upper side supports26A,27A aligned with the seat back23 in order to avoid mussing his or her hair, or to be cooler by leaving the upper portion of the head out of contact with theheadrest 30 while the lower portion is fully and comfortably supported. - Referring now to FIG. 3, the[0030]
headrest mounting plate 24 is shown in further detail without the covering of padding and upholstery. Thebase 24 is formed of aircraft aluminum with cut-outs to reduce weight.Base 24 is mounted for vertical sliding movement, see FIG. 8, on amounting bracket 28 which, in turn, is mounted to the forward side of the seat back23 beneath the padding and upholstery. The upper side head supports26A,27A and the lower side head supports26B,27B also includes weight-reducing cut-outs, and are pivotally mounted to thebase 25 by means of hinges in the form offriction pivot joints 32. Thepivot joints 32 are friction-loaded and retain the side head supports26A,26B,27A,27B in a desired location, but permit movement to a different desired location by application of sufficient force to overcome the friction-loading. - As is shown in FIG. 4, all of the side head supports[0031]26A,26B,27A,27B may be moved forward in alignment with other to collectively define a relatively narrow space within which the head is positioned.
- Alternatively, as is shown in FIG. 5, the upper side head supports[0032]26A,27A, may be moved forward, while the lower side head supports26B,27B may be left rearwardly in alignment with the seat back23. As mentioned above, this permits a tall person to have full head support without impinging on the shoulders.
- A further alternative is shown in FIG. 6[0033]kwhere the upper side head supports26A,27A, may be moved rearwardly, while the lower side head supports26B,27B may be moved forward. As mentioned above, this permits a short person to support the side of the head without the top of the head being covered.
- FIG. 7 shows the rear side of the[0034]
headrest mounting plate 24, and FIG. 8 provides one means by which thebase 25 may be mounted for vertical movement on the mountingbracket 28.Friction rollers guide 36. The frictional resistance of the rollers is34,35 is sufficient to retain the base25 in the desired vertical location, but will allow movement of the base25 upon application of sufficient force. - Other means may be used to mount the upper and lower side head supports[0035]26A,27A,26B,27B to the
base 25. These include the use of a universal joint, such as a ball and socket, or cylinder and socket, thus allowing the upper and lower side head supports to move up and down within a range of motion, and to rotate about a generally horizontal axis. The base25 can be provided with means to tilt fore and aft in a vertical plane to provide further a further range of motion, or can be divided into multiple plates, each moveable about one or more axes as necessary to provide the required range of motion. In such an arrangement, the upper and lower side head supports may be themselves still mounted for adjusting movement, or the adjusting movement can be provided by the multiple plates. - A headrest mounting plate, passenger seat headrest and passenger seat are described above. Various details of the invention may be changed without departing from its scope. Furthermore, the foregoing description of the preferred embodiment of the invention and the best mode for practicing the invention are provided for the purpose of illustration only and not for the purpose of limitation—the invention being defined by the claims.[0036]
