  • Publication number: 20070208474
    Abstract: A safety device for a motor vehicle and related method, in which a head restraint is provided on a seat backrest of a vehicle seat, as well as a control unit with an evaluation of data relevant to safety during driving. The control unit temporally activates a head restraint displacing drive so that, before an accident event which can be anticipated occurs, a positioning of the head restraint into a head restraint setting for an occupant that is safety-optimum is initiated. The safety-optimized head restraint setting is dependent on the current backrest inclination setting of the seat backrest of the vehicle seat.

  • Patent number: 6079776
    Abstract: A vehicle seat has a supporting bow which can be fixed on the seat side and has a head cushion which is arranged on the end of the supporting bow away from the seat and which can be adjusted in its inclination as desired by the seat user. For securing the inclination adjustment of the head cushion in the event of a crash, an air-filled, volume-variable hollow body is supported between the supporting bow and a cushion support held on the supporting bow by way of a swivel bearing. The hollow body is provided with a throttle opening which counters a shock-type air discharge with an extremely high flow resistance and an air passage of a low flow rate with only a small flow resistance.
