  • Head-rest
    Patent number: 6715829
    Abstract: A head-rest arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a rear part and a front part mounted on the rear part by a parallel arm linkage. A spring biases the front part forwardly. A releasable catch holds the two parts together until a sensor senses a rear impact. The front part is movable forwardly relatively freely once the catch is released. Any subsequent rearward movement of the front part is resisted by an energy-absorbing element which converts energy to a form no longer available to bias the front part of the head-rest forwardly.
