SAFETY SEAT PROTECTING FROM SIDE IMPACT

A safety seat for a vehicle includes a rigid frame concavely shaped to accommodate a person, and a headrest shaped to accommodate a head of the person. The headrest has two headrest side panels flexibly connected to the rigid frame. A horizontally disposed lever is positioned at the back of the rigid frame which is pushed by an external side impact. A vertically disposed lever adjacent to the horizontally disposed lever is pushed vertically by movement of the horizontally disposed lever, and moves the two headrest side panels to a closed position on the sides of the head.
