The headrest comprises on one side a sector (24) fixed to the support for mounting the headrest on the seat, and a movable sector (30) connected to the framework (12) carrying a cushion. A link (10) is pivotally mounted at its ends on pivot pins (22, 28) extending through these sectors, and a spring wire fixed to the pivot pin (22) of the fixed sector and connected to a control knob which is axially movable, slides in the slot of the pivot pin (28) of the movable sector between a position in which it is engaged in the facing notches of the two sectors for locking the headrest and a position in which it is disengaged from these notches for releasing the headrest.
