A knee protection device in a motor vehicle having a dimensionally stable, cushioned and essentially plate-shaped load distributor which is supported on the end side by curved deformable holders on a cross member fixed to the vehicle. The energy absorption capacity of the two holders is fully utilized by spanning a reinforcement on the back side of the load distributor. The reinforcement has an approximately hat-shaped cross-section, extends at least near the holders and has outwardly projecting flanges which are connected with the load distributor.

A head restraint for rear seats of convertibles is attached to a U-shaped roll-over bar and can be displaced with the roll-over bar. The roll-over bar can be raised from a lowered position into a support position and spans to a large extent the width of the interior of the vehicle. The lateral legs of the roll-over bar are equally curved along a rear wall of the rear seat rest with a center of curvature on the seat side of the rear seat rest.
