Abstract

In the case of a headrest provided with an arrangement for securing the end position of a support rod, where the catch effect for the removal of the headrest with both hands can be temporarily cancelled, and the catch, when the support rod is pushed in, is automatically brought back into the position where it is ready to catch, a two-armed lever is disposed at the lower end of an operating rod which takes up two defined end positions. In one end position, the free end of the lever is swivelled out of the path of motion of the support rod and the catch is in effect whereas in the other end position, the catch effect is cancelled and the free end is swivelled into the path of motion of the support rod.
