Abstract
A headrest for an automotive vehicle seat is disclosed including a headrest frame including a lower portion extending along an upper exterior portion of the seatback and mounted to a mounting frame for generally pivotable forward and rearward movement. A first track provides for the forward and rearward movement and a bladder mounted between the mounted frame and headrest frame selectively expands and contracts to move the headrest frame along the track. The mounting frame is provided with a elongated portion extending into the interior of the seatback and includes a linear gear operated by a reversible motor driven gear for selectively vertically extending and retracting the headrest.
