Abstract

Folding head restraint for motor vehicles, that can rotate around a horizontal pivot axis between an in-use position and a non-use position, and that can be locked in the in-use position by means of a locking mechanism (23). The head restraint consists of a head-restraint cushion (1) that is supported on a supporting structure (2). This comprises a framework for the head-restraint cushion and a fixing bracket (6) for attaching the head restraint to the back structure of the vehicle seat and also supports (3, 4). These are mounted at one end in such a way that they can pivot around the pivot axis and are attached at the other end to the framework of the head-restraint cushion. The supports extend through the opening (13) in an upper part of the backrest and have an arc-shaped curved part (10, 11) with essentially the pivot axis (5) as the centre of curvature. The supports can be rotated in an essentially unchanged path of movement (12) without lateral movements. The openings can have shapes and dimensions that do not significantly exceed the cross-sectional shape and dimensions of the supports. One end of the arc-shaped curved part (10, 11) of the support or supports (3,4) is attached to the pivot axis by means of a locking arm (17, 18) that has a locking device (24) that is comprised in the locking mechanism (23).
