Abstract

A seat for a means of transport, in particular a vehicle seat, comprising a seat part, a backrest, a backrest adjustment system ( ) which connects the backrest to the seat part and which permits a forward pivoting of the backrest onto the seat part, a height adjustable headrest which is displaceably guided via at least one guide rod ( ) in an associated guide receiver ( ) in the backrest, and retaining means ( ) which are effective between at least one guide rod ( ) and the associated guide receiver ( ) and through which the guide rod ( ) is releasably fixable at different heights against displacement, wherein, for avoiding a collision of the headrest with the vehicle roof, the guide receiver ( ) for the guide rod ( ) is formed so as to be retractable together with the guide rod ( ) opposite to the extension direction (VI) of the headrest inwards into the backrest into a recessed position and back out again while the guide rod ( ) is arrested by the retaining means ( ) relative to the guide receiver ( ); and wherein means are provided through which an automatic inward movement of the guide receiver ( ) is caused by the forward pivoting of the backrest and an automatic outward movement of the guide receiver ( ) back into its original position is caused when the backrest is pivoted back.
