ABSTRACT:
A headrest arrangement to be mounted on a backrest of a chair, especially a wall-proximity reclining chair, includes a support consisting of two support members which are articulately connected to one another, and a kinematic linkage which mounts the support on the backrest for movement between a retracted and an extended position. The headrest arrangement further includes a cushion member which is affixed to the upper one of the support members, and a connecting link which connects the upper support member to the kinematic linkage and causes the upper support member to conduct angular movement relative to the lower support member which is mounted on the kinematic linkage, during and in dependence on the movement of the kinematic linkage. In the retracted position, the support members form continuations of one another and extend across the open end of a recess in the backrest which accommodates the cushion member and the kinematic linkage. In the extended position, the support members are so inclined relative to one another that the upper support member extends to above the backrest and the cushion member extends frontwardly beyond the backrest. The connecting link has a variable length and is urged by a spring to its position of shortest length. The spring force can be overcome by the head of the user resting on the cushion member, to give additional comfort.
