Abstract
A headrest support assembly (24) provides for a headrest frame (14) to be pivoted relative to a seatback (10) along a single pivot axis (28). The headrest (12) is adjustable into a plurality of support positions (30) and foldable into a non-support position (32) to enhance a driver's ability to see out the windows of a vehicle. The mechanism (60, 62) for adjusting the orientation of the headrest in the support position acts independently of the mechanism (47) for moving the headrest into the non-support position.
