Abstract: The invention relates to a headrest (10) for a vehicle seat, in particular for a backrest for a motor vehicle seat, said headrest essentially comprising a headrest frame or headrest casing (14) and a foam base body (356) that surrounds the headrest frame or casing (14). In the event of a rear impact on the motor vehicle, the headrest remains fixed in relation to the backrest (conventional headrest) or at least part of the headrest is immediately displaced towards the vehicle occupant (active headrest). According to the invention, the head of a vehicle occupant can be brought into contact with the headrest (10) at least at two different heights (k1z, k2z), (two-point contact), to reduce or neutralize a torque (My) about a y-axis (y-y) in the vicinity of the vertebral column and to prevent accident-related injuries to the seat occupant, in particular to prevent cervical spine syndrome or a whiplash injury in the event of a front and/or rear impact.

Abstract: A head restraint is guided and at least indirectly held in a frame part of a seat, in particular of a backrest of a motor vehicle seat, via at least one holding element which can be positioned at various height levels relative to the frame part by way of an actuating element. The actuating element interacts with at least one locking element. The actuating element is operated with a first, second, and third operating action. A first operating action of the actuating element permits height adjustment of the head restraint and a second operating action permits removal thereof from the frame part of the seat. The second operating action, for removing the head restraint, can be carried out in parallel with or after a third operating action on at least one blocking member that is integrated in the actuating element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a headrest (10), particularly for a motor vehicle seat. At least on element is provided that can be displaced relative to a retaining device (12) of the headrest (10). The at least one element can be displaced, in part and/or in total, about at least one horizontal rotation axis and/or at least one vertical rotation axis and can be locked in selectable displaced positions.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle headrest has an upright mounting rod adapted to be anchored in a vehicle seat back and an upright rear wall at an upper end of the rod and forming part of a rear forwardly open housing shell. An upright front wall forming part of a front rearwardly open housing shell is spaced forward of and directly forms with the rear wall a cavity containing the upper end of the rod. The front wall is formed by a pair of side portions unitary with each other and each forming a wing. Membrane hinges between and formed unitarily with the side portions pivot the side portions about at least one upright axis. Upholstery surrounds the portions of the front wall.

Abstract: Disclosed is a headrest for a vehicle seat, comprising a cushion support (P) that is retained at the top of a backrest by means of at least one support bar (13) and surrounds a hollow space by means of housing walls (16, 18). The forward housing wall (16) of the cushion support (P), which forms a main surface, accommodates a head resting zone that is provided with two swing-lockable swiveling wings (F). Said swiveling wings (F) form a support structure for a cushion and are hinged in the central area (M) of the head resting zone so as to be pivotable about at least one vertical swiveling axis (20). The swing-lockable swiveling wings (F) are formed by the sections of the forward housing wall (18), which immediately border the hollow space of the cushion support (P).
