ABSTRACT:
A neck rest includes first and second supports having first and second positions where the supports are at approximately the same level and the second support is elevated relative to the first support, respectively. A first spring is supported by the first support and rotatably connected to the second support to bias the second support into the second position. A movable locking element biased by a second spring on the first support automatically blocks the second support in the second position. A locking element is movably supported by the first support and cooperates with a projection of the second support to lock the second support in the first position. A releasing element is movably supported by the first support and releases the locking element when actuated. A supporting member is located between the supports in the second position for transferring shock forces from the second support to the first support.
