<p>The present invention relates to a head support for installation in vehicle seats, movable from a normal position to an accident position by means of a sensor-activated mechanism. In order to be able to reuse the head support and to provide for reduced crash impact on the persons in case of an accident, a head support is proposed wherein a) a housing body (14) of the head support can be rigidly connected to the seat, b) an upper impact plate (16) and a lower impact plate (18) are connected to the housing body by the mechanism, c) wherein the upper impact plate (16) is pivotally supported in an erected, substantially vertical position from a substantially horizontal position, d) wherein the mechanism is equipped to move the lower impact plate (18) forward to engage the accident position, e) and simultaneously to tilt the upper impact plate (16) upward about a connecting axis between the upper and lower impact plates.</p> |
