ABSTRACT:
Previously known are headrests for the backrest of a seat of a motor vehicle, in particular for rear seats, which include a support mechanism which is attachable to a top edge of the backrest of a seat. A support element is provided which comprises an upholstered front surface to support a head and which is attachable to the support mechanism. Headrests of this type obstruct the view through the rear window and interfere when folding down the backrest of a seat. It is proposed to attach the support element so as to be movable around an axis of rotation from an operational position into a storage position. In the operational position, the support element is with its front surface substantially upwardly oriented, thus extending the backrest of a seat and projecting upwards from the backrest of the seat. In its storage position, the support element rests on the backrest of a seat and is aligned substantially horizontal with the front surface or parallel to the top edge of the backrest of a seat whilst seated on the backrest of the seat.
