Seat with integrated trim assembly and head restraint
First Claim
1. A vehicle seating assembly comprising:
- a seat back including a polymeric body portion;
a flexible comfort carrier disposed over a front surface of the polymeric body portion and including a multitude of openings defining a support matrix configured to support the weight of a passenger;
a head restraint including a headrest and a single downwardly extending support post that is homogenously formed with the headrest, wherein the support post includes a first slot extending along a first side of the support post and a second slot extending along a second side of the support post, and wherein the support post is rotatably coupled to the seat back;
the headrest being rotatable between a use position, wherein the downwardly extending support post extends into the seat back, and a storage position, wherein the downwardly extending support post is withdrawn from the seat back and rotated forward such that the head restraint extends substantially orthogonal to the seat back.

Abstract
A vehicle seating assembly having a seat back including a polymeric body portion. A flexible comfort carrier is disposed over a front surface of the polymeric body portion and includes a multitude of openings defining a support matrix configured to support the weight of a passenger. A head restraint includes a headrest and a single downwardly extending support post that is homogenously formed with the headrest. The support post includes side portions that define slots. The support post is rotatably coupled to the seat back. The headrest is rotatable between a use position, wherein the downwardly extending support post extends into the seat back, and a storage position, wherein the downwardly extending support post is withdrawn from the seat back and rotated forward such that the head restraint extends substantially orthogonal to the seat back.
