Description

FOLDING DEVICE OF HEADREST
The present invention relates to a folding device of headrest, more particularly, relates to a folding device of headrest wherein the center of rotation of a second locking unit, which is locked to or unlocked from a first locking unit, and the location where the stay is connected to the second locking unit are spaced apart from each other.
The up-down height and the front-to-rear position of a headrest can be adjusted, however, since it cannot be laid down completely, there has been problems that when it is not used, especially the support member in the backseat, even without a passenger during driving, is still erected therefore not only the rear view of the driver or the front seat passenger is obstructed but also the safety of driving is hindered.
Considering such problems, in the past, a headrest device, US Patent No. 6,302,485, capable of maximally securing the passenger's rear field of view by laying down the headrests of the empty seats was invented. The headrest device 4 includes a head support member 1 supported on an inner frame 3 of the seat back 2 of the vehicle seat by a stay rod 5, wherein the support member is rotatably installed in a way that the rotating center is on the axis of the horizontal portion 6 of the stay rod 5, so that it is in the upright position when it is used, and in a laid down position (i.e., long thin lines with double dots) when it is not used.
However, such a folding device of the prior art has a problem in that the length of the cut-out portion formed in the head support member 1 becomes longer because the head support member 1 is rotated centered around the horizontal portion 6 of the stay rod 5.

As illustrated in Figs. 2 to 8, a folding device of a headrest of the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that and comprises: a bracket 110; a first locking unit 120 connected to the bracket 110; a second locking unit 130 rotatable with respect to the bracket 110, being locked to or unlocked from the first locking unit 120; and a stay 10 connected to the second locking unit 130, wherein a headrest h is connected to any one of the bracket 110 and the stay 10, and a seat s is connected to the remaining one, and the center of rotation of the second locking unit 130 and the location where the stay 10 is connected to the second locking unit 130 are spaced apart from each other.
The headrest h is connected to any one of the bracket 110 and the stay 10, and a seat s is connected to the remaining one.
The stay 10 comprises a horizontal rod 11 disposed along the left-to-right direction, and a vertical rod 12 disposed at the both ends of the horizontal rod 11 along the up-down direction. In the present exemplary embodiment, the horizontal rod 11 and the vertical rod 12 are integrally formed.
In the present exemplary embodiment, the seat s is connected to the bracket 110.
The bracket 110 is movably installed in the frame (not shown) disposed inside the upper side of the seat s.
The bracket 110 comprises a first bracket plate 111, and a second bracket plate 112 and a third bracket plate 113 that are formed by being rearwardly bended from the both sides of the first bracket plate 111.
The bracket plate 111 is formed in the shape of a rectangular shape relatively long in length along the up-down direction.
Mounting portions 115 that are outwardly protruded (towards left or right) are formed at the rear ends of the second bracket plate 112 and the third bracket plate 113. The mounting portions 115 are formed by outwardly bending the portions of the rear ends of the second bracket plate 112 and the third bracket plate 113.
Mounting holes wherein mounting members such as bolts can be coupled are formed in the mounting portions 115. The bracket 110 can be easily installed in the frame of the seat s through such mounting portions 115. The first bracket plate 111, the second bracket plate 112, the third bracket plate 113, and the mounting portions 115 are integrally formed therefore the number of components is reduced so that the manufacturing process becomes more simplified and the cost can be effectively reduced thereby.
The first locking unit 120 is connected to the bracket 110.
The first locking unit 120 is rotatably installed inside the bracket 110 by a first locking unit shaft 125 whose both sides are installed in the second bracket plate 112, the third bracket plate 113. And thus, the first locking unit 120 is rotatable with respect to the bracket 110.
The first locking unit 120 is formed in the shape of a plate and disposed along the front-to-rear direction.
A first through-hole wherein the first locking unit shaft 125 is inserted is formed in the first locking unit 120 along the left-to-right direction.
A head portion is formed in the end portion of the first locking unit shaft 125, and a mounting member is formed in the opposite side of the head portion. A receiving slot wherein the mounting member is received is formed in the outer side of the second bracket plate 112. The receiving slot is formed inwardly recessed from the outer side, and a protruded portion is formed in a surface of the second bracket plate 112, wherein the surface is facing the first locking unit 120. Due to such protruded portion, the friction between the second bracket plate 112 and the first locking unit 120 can be minimized.
In the opposite side of the head portion of the first locking unit shaft 125, a first step portion whose outer diameter is formed to be smaller than that of adjacent portion, a second step portion whose outer diameter is formed to be smaller than that of the first step portion, and a third step portion whose outer diameter is formed to be smaller than that of the second step portion are formed. The first locking unit 120 is inserted into the second step portion, and the second bracket plate 112 is inserted into the third step portion. Thus, the movement of the first locking unit 120 along the left-to-right direction is prevented.
In a shaft included in a folding device of a headrest of the present exemplary embodiment, a head portion and a step portion are formed similarly to the first locking unit shaft 125. In addition, when a rotating member and a surface are facing to each other, a protruded portion is formed to reduce friction of the rotating member or the facing surface.
A first ratchet 121 is outwardly and protrudedly formed in the outer circumferential surface of the first locking unit 120. The first ratchet 121 is formed in a way that the front-to-rear width is getting narrower as it travels towards the outer side.
A first bended portion 122 which is concave and continuous to the first ratchet 121 is formed in the outer circumferential surface of the first locking unit 120. The first bended portion 122 is formed in the shape of an arc.
In addition, a first unlocking stopping portion 126 continuous to the first ratchet 121 and outwardly protruded is formed in the outer circumferential surface of the first locking unit 120.
In addition, a spring stopping portion 123 wherein one end of a first locking unit spring 124 is stopped is formed in the outer circumferential surface of the first locking unit 120 in the shape of a slot. The first locking unit spring 124 returns the first locking unit 120 to its original position. In the present exemplary embodiment, the locking unit spring 124 returns the first locking unit 120 to the locking position. The locking unit spring 124 is provided as a coil spring. The locking unit spring 124 is inserted into the first step portion of the first locking unit shaft 125. Thus, the locking unit spring 124 is disposed at the right side of the first locking unit 120. The other end of the locking unit spring 124 is stopped by a second locking unit spring stopping portion 114 formed in the second bracket plate 112. The second locking unit spring stopping portion 114 is formed by cutting out a portion of the second bracket plate 112 and bending it so as to be inwardly protruded.
As such, the first bended portion 122, the first ratchet 121, the first unlocking stopping portion 126, and the spring stopping portion 123 are sequentially disposed along the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the right side.
The second locking unit 130 is rotatable with respect to the bracket 110, and is locked to or unlocked from the first locking unit 120.
The second locking unit 130 comprises a first locking plate 131, and a second locking plate 132 and a third locking plate 133 formed by forwardly bending at the both sides of the first locking plate 131. The first locking plate 131, the second locking plate 132 and the third locking plate 133 are integrally formed. Since the second locking unit 130 is formed in this way, the strength of the second locking unit 130 is enhanced.
The second locking unit 130 is disposed between the second bracket plate 112 and the third bracket plate 113 so that the first locking plate 131 and the first bracket plate 111 are facing to each other. Thus, the first bracket plate 111 is disposed in the front side of the device, and the first locking plate 131 is disposed in the rear side of the device. Due to this, the device becomes compact, and since the components of the device are disposed between the bracket 110 and the second locking unit 130, thereby protecting the device.
The second locking unit 130 is disposed further upper side than the first locking unit 120.
The second locking unit 130 is rotatably installed in the bracket 110 by a second locking unit shaft 160. That is, the center axis of the second locking unit shaft 160 becomes the center of rotation of the second locking unit 130.
A second through-hole wherein the second locking unit shaft 160 is inserted is formed along the left-to-right direction in the second locking plate 132 and the third locking plate 133. Thus, the second locking unit shaft 160 is installed in the second locking plate 132 and the third locking plate 133.
The both sides of the second locking unit shaft 160 are installed in the second bracket plate 112 and the third bracket plate 113. That is, the second locking unit shaft 160 is disposed so as to be penetrating through the third bracket plate 113, the third locking plate 133, the second locking plate 132, and the second bracket plate 112 along the left-to-right direction.
A head portion is formed in the end of the second locking unit shaft 160; a fixing member is formed in the opposite side of the head portion; and a receiving slot wherein the head portion and the fixing member are received in formed in the outer side of the second bracket plate 112 and the third bracket plate 113. The receiving slot is formed inwardly recessed from the outer side so that protruded portions are formed in the surfaces facing the first locking unit 120 in the second bracket plate 112 and the third bracket plate 113. The receiving slot is formed by being recessed towards the inner side from the outer side so that protruded portions are formed in the surface facing the second locking unit 130. Due to such protruded portions, the friction between the second locking unit 130 and the second bracket plate 112, and the friction between the second locking unit 130 and the third bracket plate 113 can be minimized.
In the opposite side of the head portion of the second locking unit shaft 160, a first step portion whose outer diameter is formed to be smaller than that of adjacent portion, and a second step portion whose outer diameter is formed to be smaller than that of the first step portion are formed. The second locking plate 132 of the second locking unit 130 is inserted into the first step portion, and the second bracket plate 112 is inserted into the second step portion. Thus, the movement of the second locking unit 130 along the left-to-right direction is prevented.
In at least one of the outer circumferential surfaces of the second locking plate 132 and the third locking plate 133 of the second locking unit 130, a second ratchet 134 which is to be geared with the first ratchet 121 is formed. In the present exemplary embodiment, the second ratchet 134 is formed only in the second locking plate 132. Due to this, the structure of the device can be further simplified.
The second ratchet 134 is formed in the shape of a slot wherein the first ratchet 121 is inserted.
When first ratchet 121 and the second ratchet 134 are geared with each other, it becomes a locked state so that the unfolded state is maintained, but when the gearing is disengaged, it becomes an unlocked state, that is, a folded state.
In the outer circumferential surface of the second locking plate 132, a second bended portion 136 continuously convex to the second ratchet 134 is formed. The second bended portion 136 is formed in the shape of an arc. The second bended portion 136 is contacted to the first bended portion 122 when folding.
In the outer circumferential surface of the second locking plate 132, a stopper protrusion 137 is outwardly and protrudedly formed continuous to the second bended portion 136. A stopper protrusion 137 is also formed in the third locking plate 133. The stopper protrusion 137 is inserted into a first cut-out portion 111a and a second cut-out portion 111b and stopped by the bracket 110 when the first ratchet 121 and the second ratchet 134 are gearing with each other (unfolded state). Thus, when the headrest h is moved from the folded state to the unfolded state, the headrest h is prevented from rotating further towards the rear side when it is arrived at the unfolded position, thereby preventing the device from being damaged. In addition, when the headrest h is in the unfolded state, the force supporting the head of a passenger is distributed over the first ratchet 121 and the second ratchet 134, the stopper protrusion 137 of the second locking plate 132 and the stopper protrusion 137 of the third locking plate 133, so that it can be stably supported, and at the same time, the durability is also enhanced.
The second ratchet 134, the second bended portion 136, and the stopper protrusion 137 are sequentially disposed towards the clockwise direction.
A return spring 150 is installed in the second locking unit shaft 160 so that the modularization can become more effectively, and the return spring 150 is provided as a coil spring.
The center portion (coil portion) of the return spring 150 is inserted into the second locking member shaft 160 and disposed between the second locking plate 132 and the third locking plate 133. The one end of the return spring 150 is stopped by a return spring stopping portion 135 protrudedly formed in the lower side of the first locking plate 131 of the second locking unit 130, and the other end is stopped by the first locking unit shaft 125.
The return spring 150 rotates the second locking unit 130 to the unfolded position with respect to the bracket 110 when the first locking unit 120 and the second locking unit 130 are unlocked.
A horizontal rod 11 of the stay 10 is installed in the rear side of the first locking plate 131 along the left-to-right direction. That is, the stay 10 is installed in the rear surface of the first locking plate 131. In this way, the stay 10 is directly installed in the second locking unit 130 and connected to the second locking unit 130.
In this way, the horizontal rod 11 of the stay 10 is installed at the outer side of the second locking plate 130. In addition, the horizontal rod 11 is installed in the surface, disposed along the left-to-right direction, of the second locking unit 130, thereby increasing the contact area, so that it can be stably installed.
The folding device of a headrest is densely installed in the center of the horizontal rod 11 of the stay 10.
The headrest h is installed in the upper side of the vertical rod 12 formed upwardly bended at the both ends of the horizontal rod 11 of the stay 10.
In addition, the center of rotation of the second locking unit 130 and the location where the stay 10 is connected to or installed in the second locking unit 130 are spaced apart from each other. That is, the center of rotation of the second locking unit 130 and the horizontal rod 11 of the stay 10 are not disposed on the same line of axis. The center of rotation of the second locking unit 130 and the center axis of the horizontal rod 11 are crossly disposed.
When the headrest h is in the unfolded state, the horizontal rod 11 of the stay 10 is disposed in the front side or the rear side of the second locking unit 130. In addition, the locations, where the center of rotation of the second locking unit 130 and the stay 10 are connected to the second locking unit 130, are spaced apart along the front-to-rear direction, so that the size of the device can be minimized and the cut-out portions can be further minimized.
In the present exemplary embodiment, since the headrest h is rotated towards the front side of the seat s, the horizontal rod 11 is disposed in the rear side of the second locking unit 130. In addition, the location where the stay 10 is connected to the second locking unit 130 is rearwardly disposed spaced apart from the center of rotation of the second locking unit 130.
In Fig. 5, the cut-out lengths c and c' formed in the seat s for the case when the center of rotation of the second locking unit and the location where the stay is connected to the second locking unit are same (a), and spaced apart from each other (b). As illustrated in Fig. 5, the cut-out length (39.9mm) of the case when the center of rotation of the second locking unit 130 and the location where the stay 10 is connected to the second locking unit 130 are spaced apart from each other is shorter than that (45mm) of the case when the second locking unit is rotating centered around the horizontal rod of the stay.
An unlocking unit 140 that unlocks the locking of the first locking unit 120 and the second locking unit 130 is installed in the bracket 110.
The unlocking unit 140 is rotatably installed in the rear surface of the first bracket plate 111 through an unlocking unit shaft 143.
As illustrated in Fig. 6, the unlocking unit 140 is formed in the shape of a plate and disposed along the left-to-right direction.
The unlocking unit shaft 143 is disposed along the front-to-rear direction.
The unlocking unit 140 is disposed in front side of the first locking unit 120 and the first locking unit shaft 125.
The unlocking unit 140 is formed in a way that a second unlocking stopping portion 142 is protruded towards the left at the left side thereof. The second unlocking stopping portion 142 is stopped by the first unlocking stopping portion 126 of the first locking unit 120. The second unlocking stopping portion 142 is disposed at the left side of the unlocking unit shaft 143.
The second unlocking stopping portion 142 and the first unlocking stopping portion 126 are disposed so as to be exposed through the second cut-out portion 111b.
In addition, a wire installation part 141 is formed at the left side of the unlocking unit 140. The wire installation part 141 is disposed further lower side than the second unlocking stopping portion 142 and the unlocking unit shaft 143.
The wire installation part 141 is formed by rearwardly bending the left lower end of the unlocking unit 140.
An insertion hole wherein the end of a wire 145 is inserted is formed in the wire installation part 141.
The unlocking unit 140 is provided with an unlocking unit spring 144 so as to be returned to the original position when the external force is removed. The unlocking unit spring 144 is provided as a coil spring. The center portion (coil portion) of the unlocking unit spring 144 is inserted into the unlocking unit shaft 143 and disposed in the rear side of the unlocking unit 140. The one end of the unlocking unit spring 144 is stopped by the unlocking unit 140 and the other end is stopped by the third bracket plate 113 of the bracket 110. In the unlocking unit 140, a first insertion hole wherein the one end of the unlocking unit spring 144 is inserted is formed so as to be disposed between the second unlocking unit stopping portion 142 and the wire installation part 141. In the third bracket plate 113, a second insertion hole wherein the other end of the unlocking unit spring 144 is inserted is penetratingly formed along the left-to-right direction.
Further, in the first bracket plate 111, a third cut-out portion 111c is penetratingly formed along the front-to-rear direction in a way that the one end of the unlocking unit spring 144 and the bracket 110 are not interfered with each other.
In addition, in the front surface of the unlocking unit 140, a protruded portion forwardly protruded is formed in the circumference of the third through-hole wherein the unlocking unit shaft 143 is inserted. Due to such protruded portion, the friction between the unlocking unit 140 and the bracket 110 is minimized.
Further, a wire case installation portion 116 being disposed horizontally is formed in the lower side of the bracket 110. The wire case installation portion 116 is disposed spaced apart from the wire installation part 141 towards the lower side. The wire case installation portion 116 is formed by rearwardly bending the lower end of the first bracket plate 111. In the wire case installation portion 116, a case insertion hole wherein the end of the wire case surrounding the wire 145 is installed is formed. Since the wire case installation portion 116 is provided in this way, the twisting of the wire 145 is prevented and the components disposed inside the bracket 110 can be protected.
Hereinafter, the operation of the present exemplary embodiment having the above described configuration will be described.
<Unfolded state>
As illustrated in Fig. 7, since the first ratchet 121 is geared with the second ratchet 134, the state wherein the headrest h is erected on the seat s is maintained.
<Folded state>
When the wire 145 is being pulled by a user, a sensor, or folding of the seat s, the unlocking unit 140 is rotated counterclockwise when the device is viewed from the front. As the unlocking unit 140 is rotated, the second unlocking stopping portion 142 is also rotated counterclockwise. Since the first unlocking stopping portion 126 of the first locking unit 120 is stopped by the second unlocking stopping portion 142, the first locking unit 120 is rotated counterclockwise when the device is viewed from the right side. Due to this, the first ratchet 121 is separated from the second ratchet 134 therefore the locking is released. The second locking unit 130, the stay 10 and the headrest h are rotated centered around the second locking unit shaft 160 due to the elastic force of the return spring 150, thereby being folded towards the front side. As illustrated in Fig. 8, the upper surface of the second locking unit 130 is stopped by the rear surface of the first bracket plate 111, and thus folding is completed thereby. Once the folding is completed, the second bended portion 136 and the first bended portion 122 are contacted to each other. The location where the second bended portion 136 and the first bended portion 122 are contacted to is disposed further front side than the center of rotation of the first locking unit 120.
The unfolding process of the folded headrest h in this way will be described as follows.
When the headrest h is lifted and pushed towards the rear side, the second locking unit 130, the stay 10 and the headrest h are rotated clockwise. Also, the first locking unit 120 is rotated clockwise due to the elastic force of the first locking unit spring 124. Due to this, the first ratchet 121 is geared with the second ratchet 134, and thus the unfolded state of the headrest h is maintained thereby. In addition, when the first ratchet 121 is geared with the second ratchet 134, the stopper protrusion 137 of the second locking unit 130 is stopped by the bracket 110, therefore the headrest h is stopped even a user pushes the headrest h further.
