Abstract
An automotive seat headrest supporting apparatus includes headrest supporting members and stay locking units 20 which are incorporated into the headrest supporting members 10 to lock stays 4. The headrest supporting member 10 has a stay guiding hole 13 into which the stay 4 is inserted and an incorporating recess 14 which is opened to an outer surface and which communicates with the stay guiding hole 13 within the headrest supporting member 10 from a direction intersecting the stay guiding hole 13. The stay locking unit 20 includes a stay lock body 30 which is slidably fitted in the incorporating recess 14, a locking bar 21 which is incorporated into the stay lock body 30 and a coil spring 22 which biases the stay lock body 30 in a direction in which the locking bar 21 is brought into engagement with a locking portion 4a of the stay 4. The stay lock body 30 is configured so that, after the locking bar 21 is accommodated and disposed in accommodation grooves 36, a locking bar holding member 41 is set to hold the locking bar 21 within the accommodation grooves 36.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
