Abstract

A head restraint for a vehicle, which in its stowage position is received by a hollow in the rear window shelf of the vehicle and which can be transferred, together with its bearing arms, into an operational position near to the backrest, the bearing arms being supported on the vehicle side on an inside wall of the hollow, so that, in the stowage position, both the head restraint and its bearing arms rest in the hollow. Before, during or after a swinging operation, the head restraint is pivoted in the opposite direction to the swing of the bearing arms, so that employment in a confined space is possible.
