HEAD RESTRAINT FOR A VEHICLE SEAT

摘要

The invention relates to a head restraint (2) for a vehicle seat (1), wherein the head restraint (2) is disposed on a seat back (4) of the vehicle seat (1) so as to be adjustable in height in such a way that same can be adjusted from a non-usage position to a usage position. According to the invention the head restraint (2) is disposed on a retaining element (5) so that the inclination of the head restraint can be adjusted, where said retaining element is formed from a U-shaped tubular section and of which the horizontally disposed section (19) forms the axis of rotation of the head restraint (2), wherein the head restraint (2) and the retaining element (5) are coupled by means of a spring element (12) in such a way that a biasing force of the spring element (12) is applied to the head rest (2), wherein sections of the spring element (12) engage in respective cutouts (22) disposed on both sides in the region of rounded portions (21) of the retaining element (5), and the biasing force generated in this way rotates a lower end of the head rest (2) automatically in the direction of the retaining element (5) as the head rest (2) is moved from the non-usage position to the usage position.
