By including nanocellulose, the strength, elastic modulus, heat resistance, and the like of the guide member 50, the cover member 60, and the lock member 70 are significantly improved. In particular, a molded body formed from a resin containing nanocellulose is excellent in mechanical strength.

Next, the effect of the headrest S3 of this embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8, when the headrest body 20 is to be moved later in a state where the engaging portion 73 of the lock member 70 is in the locked position engaged with the concave portion 33 of the shaft portion 31, the first surface 331 (FIG. 5) is brought into contact with the engaging portion 73 and hooked, so that the rearward movement of the headrest body 20 can be restricted. When the headrest body 20 is moved rearward, as shown in FIG. 9, the switch 22 is pushed to move the lock member 70 from the locked position to the unlocked position. Then, the engaging portion 73 is detached from the concave portion 33 and moves to a position deviated from the movement trajectory of the concave portion 33, so that the first surface 331 is not caught by the engaging portion 73 and the headrest body 20 is moved to the rear. Movement is allowed. Thereby, the headrest main body 20 can be moved back.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10A, when the headrest body 20 is moved forward in a state where the engaging portion 73 of the locking member 70 is in the locked position engaged with the recess 33, the second surface 332 is It abuts on the engaging portion 73. From this state, if the headrest main body 20 is moved further forward, the second surface 332 pushes the engaging portion 73, and the engaging portion 73 moves to the right while sliding on the second surface 332. Along with this, the lock member 70 moves toward the non-lock position against the urging force of the compression coil spring 80. Then, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), after the engaging portion 73 climbs up the second surface 332 and is disengaged from the recessed portion 33, the shaft portion 31 moves to the side of the headrest body 20 as it moves forward. In a state where the engaging portion 73 is in contact with, it moves forward. Then, as shown in FIG. 10C, when the front-rear position of the concave portion 33 (or the concave portion 34) arranged later matches the front-rear position of the engaging portion 73, the lock member 70 is moved by the urging force of the compression coil spring 80. It moves to a locked position and the engaging part 73 engages with the said recessed part 33 (or recessed part 34).

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, the headrest body 20 can be moved forward without operating the switch 22 to move the lock member 70 to the unlocked position. For this reason, when moving the headrest main body 20 forward, it is not necessary to perform an operation of releasing the lock by the lock member 70, so that convenience can be improved.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the headrest main body 20 is moved rearward or forward in a state where the engaging portion 73 of the locking member 70 is in the locked position engaged with the concave portion 34 of the shaft portion 31, the fourth surface Since the 341 or the fifth surface 342 (see FIG. 5) comes into contact with the engaging portion 73 and is hooked, the movement of the headrest body 20 in the front-rear direction can be restricted. When the headrest body 20 is moved, the switch 22 is pressed to move the lock member 70 from the lock position to the unlock position, and the lock by the lock member 70 is released.

  The pressed surface 76 of the lock member 70 pressed by the switch 22 has a front-rear length that is equal to or greater than the amount of movement of the switch 22 that moves together with the headrest body 20, and therefore the headrest body 20 (switch 22 shown in FIG. ) At the rearmost position and when the headrest body 20 (switch 22) shown in FIG. 11 is at the frontmost position, the pressed surface 76 can be pressed by pressing the switch 22. It has become. Accordingly, the lock member 70 provided on the headrest pillar 10 can be operated by the switch 22 provided on the headrest body 20 regardless of the front-rear position of the headrest body 20.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the recesses 33 and 34 are configured such that the lengths of the third surface 333 and the sixth surface 343 of the second recesses 33B and 34B provided in the second shaft portion 31B are the lengths before and after the first shaft. Since the first recesses 33A and 34A provided in the portion 31A are longer than the lengths of the third surface 333 and the sixth surface 343 of the first recess 33A, the lock member 70 is in the lock position, and the first engagement portion When 73A is engaged with the first concave portion 33A or the first concave portion 34A, the second engaging portion 73B also firmly enters the second concave portion 33B or the second concave portion 34B having a large engageable range. Can be made. Thereby, for example, even when there are variations in the components constituting the headrest S3 and when assembling the headrest S3, when the lock member 70 is in the locked position, the engagement portions 73 of the lock member 70 are , It is possible to firmly enter the concave portion 33 or the concave portion 34 provided in the corresponding shaft portion 31.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the left and right distances between the first portions 11 of the pair of headrest pillars 10 are small, the first portion 11 in the headrest S3 including a mechanism that allows the headrest body 20 to move back and forth. An increase in the size of the headrest body 20 that covers the head can be suppressed. Moreover, since the space | interval of the right and left of the 2nd part 12 of a pair of headrest pillar 10 is large with respect to the magnitude | size of the headrest main body 20, the stability of the support by the headrest S3 at the time of attaching the headrest S3 to the seat back S2 is improved. be able to.

  In addition, since the connecting member 40 includes the holding portion 44 that holds the slide member 30 so as to be slidable back and forth, the function of enabling the headrest body 20 to be slidable back and forth with respect to the connecting member 40 that connects the pair of headrest pillars 10. Can be given. Thereby, while being able to reduce the number of parts of headrest S3, the enlargement of the headrest main body 20 can be suppressed more.

  In addition, since the second portion 12 of the pair of headrest pillars 10 is disposed on the outer side in the left-right direction with respect to the left and right ends 40E of the connecting member 40, the left-right distance between the second portions 12 can be further increased. The stability of support by the headrest S3 can be further increased.

  Further, since the connecting member 40 has the ribs 55A to 55E, the rigidity of the connecting member 40 that holds the headrest body 20 movably back and forth can be improved.

  Further, since the upper end 11U of the first portion 11 is disposed below the upper end 40U of the connecting member 40, the upper end 11U of the headrest pillar 10 does not protrude upward from the connecting member 40. Thereby, the enlargement of the headrest main body 20 can be suppressed more.

  In addition, since the front end 11F of the first portion 11 is disposed behind the front end 40F of the connecting member 40, the front end 11F of the headrest pillar 10 does not jump forward from the connecting member 40. Thereby, the enlargement of the headrest main body 20 can be suppressed more.

  Further, since the headrest pillar 10 inserted into the pillar insertion hole 56 of the connecting member 40 is fixed by the spring pin 92, the pillar insertion hole 56 can be configured such that the headrest pillar 10 can be easily inserted and removed. Thereby, the operation | work which fixes the headrest pillar 10 and the connection member 40 can be performed easily. Further, by removing the spring pin 92, the headrest pillar 10 and the connecting member 40 can be easily disassembled, so that the maintainability and the like can be improved.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the lock member 70 having the engagement portion 73 is disposed in front of the headrest pillar 10, so that the lockrest 70 that can be engaged with the shaft portion 31 of the slide member 30 is attached to the headrest pillar. Since it is not necessary to provide a structure for avoiding interference with the lock member 70, the lock member 70 can have a simple configuration. Accordingly, since the lock member 70 can be reduced in size, the connection member 40 and the headrest body 20 in which the connection member 40 is incorporated can be reduced, and the headrest body 20 can be moved back and forth. The headrest S3 can be reduced in size.

  Further, since the compression coil spring 80 that biases the lock member 70 to the lock position is provided, an operation for moving the lock member 70 from the non-lock position to the lock position becomes unnecessary. Thereby, the convenience can be improved.

  Further, since the two shaft portions 31 arranged side by side can be guided by the guide member 50, the operability and stability when the headrest body 20 is moved back and forth can be improved. Moreover, since the engaging part 73 contains the 1st engaging part 73A and the 2nd engaging part 73B, when each engaging part 73 and the recessed part 33 of the corresponding shaft part 31 are engaging. The rearward movement of the headrest body 20 can be firmly restricted by the lock member 70. Further, when the respective engaging portions 73 are engaged with the corresponding concave portions 34 of the shaft portion 31, the movement of the headrest main body 20 in the front-rear direction can be firmly restricted by the lock member 70.

  Further, since the first engaging portion 73A and the second engaging portion 73B move together with the movement of the lock member 70, the operation of moving the lock member 70 by pressing the switch 22 Both the first engaging portion 73A and the second engaging portion 73B are engaged with the recessed portions 33, 34 of the corresponding shaft portion 31 or detached from the corresponding recessed portions 33, 34 of the shaft portion 31. be able to. Thereby, convenience and operability can be improved.

  Moreover, since the shaft part 31 has the recessed parts 33 and 34 with which the engaging part 73 can engage, the shaft part 31 and the lock member 70 can be engaged with a simple structure.

  Further, since the lock member 70 has the through hole 74 through which the shaft portion 31 passes, for example, a notch through which the shaft portion passes is provided in the lock member, or an engagement portion is provided so as to protrude from the main body portion of the lock member. The strength of the lock member 70, particularly in the vicinity of the engaging portion 73, can be improved as compared with the case. Thereby, the shaft part 31 can be firmly locked by the lock member 70.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the shaft portion 31 is connected by the connection portion 32, thereby suppressing the rotation of the shaft portion 31 when the shaft portion 31 is inserted into the guide member 50 (the connecting member 40). be able to. If the shaft rotates with respect to the connecting member during assembly, it is necessary to correct the posture and orientation of the shaft correctly, which may reduce the assembly of the headrest, but according to this embodiment, Since a repairing operation is not necessary, the assemblability of the headrest S3 can be improved.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment. About a concrete structure, it can change suitably in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of invention as follows.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 16, the headrest S <b> 3 may include a backlash suppression mechanism BS in order to suppress the backlash of the slide member 30 with respect to the guide member 50 (connection member 40). Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the backlash suppressing mechanism BS will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same components as those in the above-described embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, description thereof will be omitted as appropriate, and differences from the above-described embodiment will be described in detail. Further, in the drawings referred to below, illustrations are omitted for configurations that are not particularly necessary for the description. 12 to 15, the shape of the shaft portion 31 and the shaft insertion hole 54 are exaggerated for easy understanding of the configuration.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, the backlash suppressing mechanism BS according to the first example includes a pair of shaft portions 31 of the slide member 30. And a pair of shaft part 31 which comprises the backlash suppression mechanism BS is curving in the shape of an arch, respectively, seeing from the direction orthogonal to the front-back direction. Specifically, each of the pair of shaft portions 31 is curved in an arc shape that is convex inward in the left-right direction when viewed from the up-down direction. Also, as shown in FIG. 12 (b), the backlash suppression mechanism BS according to the second example is such that the pair of shaft portions 31 constituting the backlash suppression mechanism BS are respectively outward in the left-right direction when viewed from the vertical direction. It is curved in a bow shape so as to be convex.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13A, the backlash suppression mechanism BS according to the third example includes a pair of shaft portions 31 (only one shown) constituting the backlash suppression mechanism BS as viewed from the left and right directions. It is curved in an arc shape so as to be convex upward. Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, the backlash suppression mechanism BS according to the fourth example includes a pair of shaft portions 31 (only one shown) constituting the backlash suppression mechanism BS as viewed from the left and right directions. It is curved in a bow shape so as to be convex downward.

  Note that the play suppressing mechanism BS according to the first to fourth examples may have a configuration in which only one of the pair of shaft portions 31 is curved in an arcuate shape.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), the backlash suppression mechanism BS according to the fifth example is configured to include a pair of shaft portions 31, and the more the pair of shaft portions 31 are moved forward, the more The space | interval of the left-right direction which is a direction where a pair of shaft part 31 is located in a line is large. Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, in the backlash suppressing mechanism BS according to the sixth example, the distance in the left-right direction becomes larger as the pair of shaft portions 31 constituting the backlash suppressing mechanism BS moves later. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the backlash suppressing mechanism BS according to the seventh example includes a pair of shaft portions 31. And a pair of shaft part 31 is the position of the up-down direction orthogonal to both the front-back direction and the left-right direction of one shaft part 31, so that it goes to the other end (front end) from the one end (rear end) connected by the connection part 32. However, it is shifted with respect to the other shaft portion 31. Specifically, the position in the vertical direction of the first shaft portion 31A is positioned lower than the second shaft portion 31B as it goes forward. More specifically, the first shaft portion 31A extends obliquely downward in the front so as to be positioned lower as it goes forward, and the second shaft portion 31B is inclined forward so as to be located as it moves forward. It extends upward.

  Note that the position of the first shaft portion 31A in the up-down direction may be higher than the second shaft portion 31B as it goes forward in the backlash suppressing mechanism BS according to the seventh example. For example, the first shaft portion 31 </ b> A extends obliquely upward in the front so as to be located upward as it goes forward, and the second shaft portion 31 </ b> B is obliquely forward and downward so that it is located downward as it goes forward. It may extend toward.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the backlash suppression mechanism BS according to the eighth example includes a pair of shaft insertion holes 54 through which the pair of shaft portions 31 are inserted. Each of the pair of shaft insertion holes 54 constituting the backlash suppressing mechanism BS has a convex portion 54A that protrudes toward the inside of the shaft insertion hole 54 on the inner peripheral surface. Three convex portions 54 </ b> A are provided in each shaft insertion hole 54. The three convex portions 54A are arranged at a pitch of approximately 120 ° in the circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface of the shaft insertion hole 54 when viewed from the front. Further, the three convex portions 54A are arranged at positions that do not interfere with the concave portions 33 and 34 (see FIG. 5) of the shaft portion 31. Note that the play suppressing mechanism BS according to the eighth example may have a configuration in which the convex portion 54 </ b> A is provided only in one of the pair of shaft insertion holes 54.

  By providing the backlash suppression mechanism BS as described above, the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 31 provided in the headrest body 20 and the inner peripheral surface of the shaft insertion hole 54 provided in the headrest pillar 10 are always in contact with each other. Therefore, the play of the slide member 30 with respect to the guide member 50 can be suppressed. Thereby, the play with respect to the headrest pillar 10 of the headrest main body 20 can be suppressed. Moreover, according to the play suppressing mechanism BS as in the first to eighth examples, it is possible to suppress the play of the slide member 30 with respect to the guide member 50 with a simple configuration.

  In the case where the backlash suppression mechanism BS is provided as in the first to eighth examples, a lubricant is applied to at least one of the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 31 and the inner peripheral surface of the shaft insertion hole 54. It is desirable. In other words, it is desirable that a lubricant be interposed between the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 31 and the inner peripheral surface of the shaft insertion hole 54. According to this, the headrest body 20 can be smoothly moved with respect to the headrest pillar 10 while suppressing rattling of the headrest body 20 with respect to the headrest pillar 10.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the spring pin 92 was illustrated as a fixing member for fixing the headrest pillar 10 and the connection member 40, it is not limited to this. For example, the fixing member may be a tapping screw or the like.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the headrest pillar 10 and the connection member 40 were fixed by fixing members, such as the spring pin 92, it is not limited to this. For example, the headrest pillar 10 and the connecting member 40 may be fixed to each other by press-fitting the first portion 11 of the headrest pillar 10 into the pillar insertion hole 56 of the connecting member 40. According to this, since the headrest pillar 10 and the connecting member 40 can be fixed without using a fixing member such as a pin or a screw, the number of parts of the headrest S3 can be reduced. The first portion 11 is press-fitted into the pillar insertion hole 56 by, for example, making the diameter of the pillar insertion hole 56 smaller than the diameter of the first portion 11 or by inserting the pillar insertion hole 56 into the inner peripheral surface of the pillar insertion hole 56. This can be realized by providing a convex portion projecting inward of 56.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the pillar insertion hole 56 in which the headrest pillar 10 is penetrated was a hole penetrated substantially up and down, it is not limited to this. For example, referring to FIG. 7, the pillar insertion hole 56 may be a hole opened on the lower side and closed on the upper side.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the rear end of a pair of shaft part 31 was connected by the connection part 32, the slide member 30 is not limited to this, The front ends may be connected. In addition, the headrest may not be provided with a connection portion and may be configured such that a plurality of shaft portions (shafts) are not connected.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the slide member 30 was provided in the headrest main body 20, and the guide member 50, the lock member 70, etc. were provided in the headrest pillar 10, it is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 17A, in the headrest S3, the slide member 130 (shaft) may be provided in the headrest pillar 10, and the guide member 150, the lock member 170, and the like may be provided in the headrest body 20.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17B, the slide member 130 is configured to include a pair of shaft portions 131 and a connection portion 132, and the shaft portion 131 as a shaft is integrated with the headrest pillar 10. Is formed. Specifically, the shaft portion 131 is provided so as to bend and extend forward from the upper end of the first portion 11 of the headrest pillar 10. Thereby, compared with the case where a shaft and a headrest pillar are provided separately, the number of parts of headrest S3 can be reduced. Each of the pair of shaft portions 131 is provided with a recess (not shown) that can engage with the engaging portion 73 of the lock member 170 on each side surface. When the first surface and the second surface are provided in the recess as in the above-described embodiment, the first surface may be provided as a rear surface and the second surface may be provided as a front surface. The connecting portion 132 is a portion that connects the front ends of the pair of shaft portions 131. For example, the connecting portion 132 is connected to the front ends of the pair of shaft portions 131 by welding or the like.

  Returning to FIG. 17A, the guide member 150 and the lock member 170 are inserted into the pair of shaft portions 131 from the front side before the pair of shaft portions 131 are connected by the connection portion 132, for example. It can be attached to the shaft portion 131. The left end portion of the lock member 170 is an operation portion 172 that protrudes outward from the cover 21 of the headrest body 20 and is exposed on the surface of the headrest body 20. The lock member 170 is held by the guide member 150 so as to be slidable to the left and right. When the operation unit 172 is pressed, the lock member 170 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position.

  In the above description, the slide member 130 is provided such that the shaft portion 131 is bent from the upper end of the first portion 11 of the headrest pillar 10 and extends forward, and the connection portion 132 is provided at the front ends of the pair of shaft portions 131. Although connected by welding etc., it is not limited to this. For example, the slide member 130 is formed by bending a pipe material so as to form a substantially U shape, and the rear ends of the pair of shaft portions 131 are connected to the upper ends of the first portions 11 of the headrest pillar 10 by welding or the like. May be. Further, the slide member 130 may be provided on the headrest pillar 10 by assembly or the like instead of welding.

  Further, the slide member 130 and the pair of left and right headrest pillars 10 may be integrally formed, for example, by bending one pipe member. According to this, the number of parts of the headrest S3 can be further reduced.

  In the embodiment, the cover 21 has the front cover 21A, the rear cover 21B, and the under garnish 21C. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 18, the cover 21 that covers the slide member 30 and the guide member 250 may be configured not to include an under garnish. According to this, since the number of parts of the headrest S3 can be reduced, the productivity of the headrest S3 can be improved, or the weight of the headrest S3 can be reduced.

  In this form, the rear cover 21B has a pair of notches 21R for passing the pair of headrest pillars 10 through the lower wall 21D. As shown in FIG. 19, the notch 21 </ b> R forms a long semicircular elongated hole 21 </ b> S long in the front-rear direction when the front cover 21 </ b> A and the rear cover 21 </ b> B are assembled. The long hole 21 </ b> S has a front-rear length equal to or greater than the movement amount of the headrest body 20 so that the peripheral edge does not interfere with the headrest pillar 10. According to such a structure, compared with the case where the cover 21 is provided with a large opening through which both of the pair of headrest pillars 10 pass, the pad material and the skin material covering the cover 21 are attached to the wall 21D (part around the elongated hole 21S). ). In addition, this makes it possible to maintain the appearance of the headrest S3 even when the undergarnish is not provided. Further, it is possible to suppress dust and the like from entering the headrest body 20 as compared with a case where the cover 21 is provided with a large opening through which both the pair of headrest pillars 10 pass. The notch forming the long hole may be provided in the front cover 21A instead of the rear cover 21B, or may be provided in both the front cover 21A and the rear cover 21B.

  In the embodiment, the pair of left and right headrest pillars 10 are provided as separate parts, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 20, the pair of left and right headrest pillars 10 may be integrally provided by connecting the upper ends of the first portions 11 with a fourth portion 14 extending left and right. The pillar member 10A in which such a pair of left and right headrest pillars 10 is integrated can be formed, for example, by bending one pipe material. According to such a configuration, the number of parts of the headrest S3 can be reduced, so that the productivity of the headrest S3 can be improved.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the headrest pillar 10 and the guide member 50 were assembled | attached by inserting the 1st part 11 of the headrest pillar 10 in the pillar insertion hole 56 of the guide member 50, it is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 20, the headrest pillar 10 (pillar member 10A) and the guide member 250 may be integrally formed so as to be handled as one component. Specifically, the metal headrest pillar 10 and the resin guide member 250 can be integrated by insert molding. According to such a configuration, the number of parts of the headrest S3 can be reduced, and the number of assembling steps can be reduced, so that the productivity of the headrest S3 can be improved.

  In the above embodiment, the guide member 50 and the cover member 60 are provided separately. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration in which the guide member and the cover member are integrally formed may be used. For example, the guide member 250 may be configured to integrally include a cover wall 251 as a front wall that covers the lock member 70 (see FIG. 18) from the front side as a part thereof. In other words, the guide member 250 may have a substantially cylindrical guide portion 252 that covers the front and rear and the top and bottom of the lock member 70 and holds the lock member 70 so as to be slidable left and right. According to such a configuration, the number of parts of the headrest S3 can be reduced as compared with the case where the guide member and the cover member are provided separately.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the compression coil spring 80 was illustrated as an urging | biasing member, it is not limited to this. For example, the urging member may be a leaf spring. Further, the headrest may be configured such that, for example, a portion having a spring property for urging the lock member to the lock position is provided on the lock member without including the urging member.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although both the pair of shaft parts 31 were the structures which have the recessed parts 33 and 34 in the side surface, it is not limited to this. For example, only one of the pair of shaft portions 31 may have the concave portions 33 and 34 on the side surfaces. In this case, the lock member 70 can be configured to have only the engaging portion 73 corresponding to the one shaft portion 31 provided with the concave portions 33 and 34.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although headrest S3 was provided with the two shaft parts 31 as a shaft, it is not limited to this. For example, the headrest may be configured to include only one shaft. The headrest may be configured to include three or more shafts.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the locking member 70 was arrange | positioned in front of the headrest pillar 10, it is not limited to this. For example, the lock member may be disposed after the headrest pillar. In other words, the lock member may be shifted to the rear side of the headrest pillar so as not to overlap the headrest pillar in the front-rear direction. This also eliminates the need to provide the lock member with a structure for avoiding interference with the headrest pillar, so that the lock member can have a simple configuration.

  Moreover, although the recessed parts 33 and 34 provided in the shaft part 31 were notched in the said embodiment, it is not limited to this. For example, the recessed portion may be a bottomed hole or a through hole. Further, the configuration and shape of the engaging portion of the lock member are not particularly limited as long as the engaging portion of the lock member can be engaged with the recess of the shaft portion. For example, the engaging portion does not need to be provided separately from the lock member main body 71 as the lock plate 72, and may be formed integrally with the lock member main body 71 as a part of the lock member main body 71. Moreover, the engaging part does not need to be plate-shaped, but may be a pin-like shape that can be engaged with a hole as a recess.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the guide member 50, the cover member 60, and the whole lock member 70 were formed from resin containing nanocellulose, it is not limited to this. For example, the guide member 50, the cover member 60, and the lock member 70 may be formed of a resin containing nanocellulose only in a portion that contacts (slids) with another member. In addition, the guide member 50, the cover member 60, and the lock member 70 are portions (corners, ends, etc.) that are highly likely to come into contact with other members among the portions that contact (slide) other members Only) may be formed from a resin containing nanocellulose. Moreover, the guide member 50, the cover member 60, and the lock member 70 may be formed from resin other than nanocellulose resin, and may be formed from materials other than resin.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although vehicle seat S mounted in a motor vehicle was illustrated as a seat provided with the headrest of this invention, it is not limited to this, A seat is vehicles other than a motor vehicle, for example, a rail vehicle, a ship, etc. It may be a vehicle seat mounted on an aircraft or the like. Further, the seat is not limited to a vehicle seat, and may be a seat used at home, for example.

  Further, the present invention can be implemented by arbitrarily combining the elements described in the above-described embodiments and modifications.
