Abstract
A vehicle seat ( ) with a back rest ( ) and with an adjustable head rest ( ) having a supporting surface ( ) which the head of the vehicle occupant can touch in the case of restraint is characterized in that the head rest ( ) has an expansion device which increases the size of the supporting surface ( ) of the head rest ( ) in the case of restraint. Furthermore, the head rest ( ) is vertically adjusted in relation to the back rest ( ) at least when the head rest ( ) is arranged so close to the back rest ( ) that the back rest ( ) would prevent a complete increase in size of the supporting surface ( ).
