Abstract:
1. A latching device for a head restraint comprising a locking element displaceably mounted in a carrier device, the locking element being able to be displaced from a locked position into an unlocked position by actuation of an actuating device, wherein the latching device is displaceably mounted relative to a retaining rod, and wherein in the unlocked position the locking element permits displacement of the latching device relative to the retaining rod, and in the locked position the locking element engages in at least one recess of the retaining rod for latching the latching device relative to the retaining rod, wherein in the locked position the carrier device with the locking element arranged therein is configured mirror-symmetrically to an xz-plane extending perpendicularly to a lengthwise dimension of the carrier device, wherein the carrier device comprises an upper carrier plate and a lower carrier plate, wherein the upper carrier plate and the lower carrier plate are slidably mounted to each other on the headrest for translational movement relative to one another and parallel to a y-axis, wherein the xz-plane is defined by an x-axis generally in a fore and aft direction and a z-axis generally in a vertical direction when the latching device is in a position of use, wherein the y-axis extends in a side-to-side direction perpendicular to the xz-plane.
