ABSTRACT:
A headrest apparatus for a vehicle seat. The seat has a seat cushion and a seat-back to support the back of a user of the seat. The headrest apparatus has a holder on a top portion of the seat-back; a stay having first and second supporting portions in parallel, the holder holding the stay so that the stay can slide relative to the seat back along the direction of the seat back; and a headrest body attached to the stay. The first stay includes a plurality of first notches for maintaining the position of the headrest body, the plurality of first notches defining an adjusting area of the headrest body. The second stay includes at least one second notch, the second notch defining a storage area of the headrest body different from the adjusting area. The operator can lower the headrest into the storage area even if the vehicle seat is a rear seat. This improves the operator's field of vision when necessary.
