ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat comprises a backrest with a separate backrest part, a headrest integrated in the backrest and a pivot pin horizontally arranged in the backrest. The separate backrest part and the headrest constitute two arms of a two-armed lever pivotally mounted about an axis defined by said pivot pin. The two-armed lever is pivoted about the axis in case of a rear end crash due to an inertia force of a vehicle occupant which is partly taken up by said separate backrest part, in order to move the headrest toward the head of said occupant and to reduce forces acting on the head.
