The invention relates to a head restraint (1) for use in motor vehicles and comprising a support (5) for supporting the head restraint and fixing the head restraint to the backrest of a vehicle seat. The support (5) comprises a carrier (14) and at least one support leg (16, 17) coupled to the carrier (14), together with an adjusting arrangement (6) for adjusting the position of the head restraint in relation to an occupant of the motor vehicle. The carrier (14) is enclosed by a casing (2), which is rotatably connected to the support (5) along an axis of rotation (20) running essentially at right angles to the support leg (16, 17). The adjusting arrangement (6) comprises a first locking plate (26) having a recess (21) designed to interact with a locking plate (24), firmly connected to the axis of rotation (20) and having locking elements (25) located successively and essentially radially around the axis of rotation and defining at least two separate locking positions for locking the position of the casing (2) around the axis of rotation. The adjusting arrangement furthermore comprises a second locking plate (33) comprising a locking tongue (37, 38), designed to interact with locking elements (22) arranged on the support leg (16, 17) and defining at least two separate locking positions on the support leg (16, 17) for locking the position of the casing (2) along the support leg (16, 17). An operating element (7) acting upon the locking plates (26, 33) is designed to carry the locking plates (26, 33) in a direction essentially parallel to the axis of rotation (20). |
