# Method and device for mounting a headrest for a vehicle seat

## Abstract

A method for the semi-automated assembly of a headrest for a vehicle seat, including the following method steps: feeding a cover stretched in a holder of the headrest to a conveying device, which cover includes an opening, such that an edge region of the opening is held open by the holder in such a way that a head box can be inserted into an inner space of the cover; transporting the holder in the conveying device to at least one workstation; feeding and mounting of an upholstered part; orienting seam edges of the cover; automatic assembly of a head box assembly in an inner space of the pocket-like cover; closing the opening of the cover; removing the headrest from the holder; removing the holder from the conveying device; and performing an ironing process.
