ABSTRACT:
Vehicle seat includes a seat portion and a backrest having a height-adjustable headrest. To facilitate the height adjustment of the headrest, two retaining rods are fit into nonreclining sleeves, and have spaced apart arresting notches on a lower portion of the retaining rods. The headrest can be set at any height by use of a locking mechanism on the upper surface of the backrest. The locking mechanism includes a base nonrotably secured to the backrest that includes a base portion and a spaced apart covering portion. The base portion and covering portion are connected via a central pillar to form one piece. The locking mechanism includes a spring with an arresting arm and a retaining arm configured to be mated with respective walls of the column, and biased by a bulge on the column. A cover ring having engaging elements engages the base, and may have spaced apart engaging fingers.
