Head Restraint for a Vehicle Seat with a Head Restraint Guide Arrangement and Head Restraint Guide Arrangement for a Head Restraint

A headrest (1) for a vehicle seat comprising:

• two at least substantially parallel headrest rods (2.1, 2.2) or headrest rod sections, on which a head cushion of the headrest (1) is arranged or can be arranged;
• a head restraint guide arrangement, by means of which the head restraint rods (2.1, 2.2) or head restraint rod sections are accommodated or can be accommodated on and in a seat back of the vehicle seat in such a way that the head restraint rods (2.1, 2.2) or head restraint rod sections are connected to the head cushion of the head restraint (1), which may be arranged on the head restraint rods (2.1, 2.2) or head restraint rod sections, in a longitudinal extension direction of the head restraint rods (2.1, 2.2) or head restraint rod sections. the headrest rods (2.1, 2.2) or headrest rod sections are adjustable and displaceable relative to the headrest guide arrangement between a first position and at least one second position;
• and
• a locking mechanism (3) which can be actuated, manually, and which can be transferred between a first state and a second state, the first state of the locking mechanism (3) corresponding to a locked state in which adjustability of the head restraint rods (2.1, 2.2) or head restraint rod sections relative to the head restraint guide arrangement is blocked, and the second state of the locking mechanism (3) corresponding to an unlocked state in which adjustability of the head restraint rod sections relative to the head restraint guide arrangement is blocked, and The first state of the locking mechanism (3) corresponds to a locked state in which the head restraint rods (2.1, 2.2) or head restraint rod sections are blocked relative to the head restraint guide arrangement, and the second state of the locking mechanism (3) corresponds to an unlocked state in which the head restraint rods (2.1, 2.2) or head restraint rod sections can be adjusted relative to the head restraint guide arrangement,
• wherein the locking mechanism (3), which can be actuated manually, acts exclusively on only one of the two headrest rods (2.1, 2.2) or headrest rod sections, especially in its first state.
