A connection element of a headrest pole on a seat structure of a motor vehicle seat, includes a connection profile which receives the headrest pole and/or a headrest pole housing. The connection profile protrudes through a lateral wall of the seat structure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A connection element for at least one of a headrest pole and/or a headrest pole housing on a seat structure of a motor vehicle seat, said connection element comprising: a connection element body; and a connection profile that is configured to receive at least one of the headrest pole and/or the headrest pole housing, wherein the connection profile is stamped out of the connection element body such that the connection profile has a square cross section, wherein the connection profile is configured to be inserted through a recess in the seat structure in order to protrude when the connection element body is pressed against the seat structure of the motor vehicle seat, wherein the connection profile is configured to form a through-passage with a portion of the seat structure when the connection profile is inserted through the recess. 2. The connection element as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising at least one joining surface. 3. The connection element as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a fixing mechanism that is configured to fix the connection element to the seat structure. 4. The connection element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection element is extruded. 5. The connection element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection element is configured to be connected by at least one of a non-positive and/or material connection to the seat structure. 6. The connection element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, when the connection profile is inserted through the recess, the connection element body is pressed against a first side of the lateral wall and the connection profile forms the through-passage on a second side of the lateral wall such that, when at least one of the headrest pole and/or the headrest pole housing is received in the connection profile, the at least one of the headrest pole and/or the headrest pole housing extends along the second side of the lateral wall and does not extend along the first side of the lateral wall. 7. The connection element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection profile is configured to cooperate at least one of positively and/or non-positively with the recess in the structure of the motor vehicle seat. 8. The connection element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection element is configured to be adhesively bonded to the structure of the motor vehicle seat. 9. The connection element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection element is a plastic part.
