Abstract

A headrest assembly includes a first housing (12) rotatably supporting a second housing (14), whereby the second housing (14) is movable between a fully upright position and a fully dumped position. In addition, an adjustment mechanism is provided and includes a cross-member (52) fixedly attached to the first housing (12) and a lock member operable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The lock member engages the cross-member (52) in the locked position and disengages the cross-member (52) in the unlocked position. A lever (54) is rotatably attached to the cross-member (52) and is operable to selectively unlock the lock member and permit rotation of the second housing (14). Rotation of the second housing (14) relative to the first housing (12) allows the second housing (14) to be rotated between the fully upright position and the fully dumped position.
