Abstract
A head restraint for a motor vehicle has a fixed support part and a movable, prestressed part. The parts are connected to each other via at least one upper and one lower lever, in which case the movable part can be moved from a normal position into a protective position and vice versa. The movable head-restraint part can be shifted forwards in a simple manner in that the levers are arranged parallel to each other. In order to prestress the movable part at least one spring is provided that engages at its one end on the fixed support part and at its other end directly or indirectly on one of the two levers.
