Abstract: In the case of a headrest provided with an arrangement for securing the end position of a support rod, where the catch effect for the removal of the headrest with both hands can be temporarily cancelled, and the catch, when the support rod is pushed in, is automatically brought back into the position where it is ready to catch, a two-armed lever is disposed at the lower end of an operating rod which takes up two defined end positions. In one end position, the free end of the lever is swivelled out of the path of motion of the support rod and the catch is in effect whereas in the other end position, the catch effect is cancelled and the free end is swivelled into the path of motion of the support rod.

Abstract: A motor vehicle seat, especially a rear seat for a station wagon whose seat cushion is adapted to be folded about a fixed pivot shaft located near its lower forward edge and whose backrest is adapted to be folded about a fixed pivot shaft located near its lower edge in such a manner that these parts can be displaced out of the seating position into a position in which the back side of the backrest forms a horizontal loading surface which is delimited by the bottom side of the seat cushion as forward, vertical abutment surface; a shaft extending transversely to the driving direction is rotatably supported underneath the backrest and to the rear of the seat cushion whereby one lever each is non-rotatably arranged at the two ends of the shaft, which effect the seat cushion locking while a pivot arm is pivotally connected at the lever at a distance from the latter's pivot axis which, during actuation of the lever, is being disengaged from its detent.
