Abstract
A safety seat for use in a motor vehicle has a squab (,) and a back (,) and a head-rest (,). There is a pivotal connection between the back (,) and the squab (,). The head-rest (,) is mounted on a series of levers (,). If the vehicle is involved in a rear impact, the back (,) of the seat may move rearwardly. Simultaneously, because of the levers (,) the head-rest (,) will move forwardly relative to the back of the seat. Thus, the head-rest will come into contact with the head of the occupant of the seat, thus minimizing the risk of “whiplash” injuries.
