Abstract
Limited pivotability is imparted to a headrest for an automotive vehicle without having the resistance to pivoting change during the life of the headrest by providing a pair of pivot elements within the headrest which have brake stubs engaged by resilient strips functioning as brake shoes which bear upon these stubs and which are braced against the frame of the headrest to which the body of the headrest is attached. The support rods from the vehicle seat pass through openings in the bottom of the body to engage the pivot members.
