Abstract

The present invention relates to a headrest moving device, more particularly, relates to a headrest moving device comprising: a moving member rotatably connected to a second member; and a guide member connected to the first member and guided by the first member and having a locking groove formed therein for guiding the moving member so that the number of parts of the device is significantly reduced, the weight of the apparatus can be reduced, the manufacturing cost of the apparatus can be reduced, the structure of the apparatus can be simplified since the button can be omitted, and the convenience of usage is enhanced since if a user presses one time, the headrest is positioned in a first position and if presses one more time in the same way the headrest is positioned in a second position.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A headrest moving device comprising:
a first member;
a second member capable of rotating or sliding with respect to the first member;
a return spring for returning the second member with respect to the first member;
a moving member rotatably connected to the second member; and
a guide member connected to the first member for guiding the moving member and formed with a locking groove wherein the moving member is stopped,
wherein a protrusion guided by the guide member is formed in the moving member, and the protrusion is rotatably installed in the moving member.

2. The headrest moving device according to claim 1 , wherein the pathway of the moving member has the shape of a closed curve.

3. The headrest moving device according to claim 1 , wherein a moving member spring for returning the moving member is further provided.

4. The headrest moving device according to claim 3 , wherein the moving member and the second member are disposed between the both ends of the moving member spring.

5. The headrest moving device according to claim 3 , wherein the moving member spring applies an elastic force along the direction opposite to the direction along which the moving member is rotating with respect to the second member.

6. The headrest moving device according to claim 1 , wherein the second member can be rotated with respect to the first member, a rod inserting hole wherein a rod is inserted is formed in the guide member, a groove is formed in the guide member so as to be disposed inside the rod inserting hole along the lengthwise direction of the rod, and a protrusion to be inserted into the groove is formed in the outer circumferential surface of the rod.

7. The headrest moving device according to claim 5 , wherein a flange disposed at the end of the protrusion is formed in the outer circumferential surface of the rod.

8. The headrest moving device according to claim 1 , wherein a guide pathway for guiding the moving member is formed in the guide member, wherein the guide pathway comprises:
a locking pathway for guiding the moving member at the time of locking; and
an unlocking pathway for guiding the moving member at the time of unlocking, and wherein the locking pathway and the unlocking pathway are different.

9. The headrest moving device according to claim 1 , wherein a guide pathway for guiding the moving member is formed in the guide member, wherein the guide pathway comprises:
a locking pathway for guiding the moving member at the time of locking; and
an unlocking pathway for guiding the moving member at the time of unlocking.

10. The headrest moving device according to claim 1 , wherein a guide pathway for guiding the moving member is formed in the guide member, wherein the guide pathway comprises:
a locking pathway for guiding the moving member at the time of locking; and
an unlocking pathway for guiding the moving member at the time of unlocking.
