ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat comprises a back rest with a headrest. A flexible traction element extends through the interior of the back rest and is adapted to respond to the movement of an inertial mass shifted in a rear end impact and to cause a displacement of an attachment means of the traction element on the headrest. The displacement is converted in a mechanical setting mechanism, coupled with the traction element, into a movement of the headrest toward the head of the occupant to reduce the distance between the headrest and the head of the occupant.
