Patent ID: 7600818

Claim:
A fastening device for a headrest of a vehicle seat having a framing, the device comprising: two support rods for attachment to the headrest; two holders attached to the framing of the seat distanced from one another in a direction (Y) transverse to the seat for adjustable guidance of the height of the two support rods, each of the support rods slidable within a respective one of the holders; one of the holders having a guide shell which can accommodate one of the support rods via slidable encasement; and a carrier mounted to the one of the holders and being movable in a direction transverse to the seat (Y), the guide shell being movably mounted to the carrier so that the guide shell pivots relative to the carrier around a first axis which runs in the longitudinal direction of the seat (X), the height of the support rods relative to the seat being adjustable by sliding the support rods within the holders, whereby minor misalignment between the support rods can be compensated for via pivoting of the guide shell relative to the carrier about the first axis.
