Abstract
An assembly for use in an automobile is provided including an automotive seat element including a seatback element having a seatback forward face, a seatback top face, and a seatback rearward face. The seatback rotates between a use position and a folded position and includes a mounting structure. The lower pivot end, of a pivot structure, is rotatably mounted to the mounting structure having a pivot structure storage position and a pivot structure use position. The pivot structure extends vertically upward in the pivot structure use position. The upper pivot end rotates forward to a pivot structure storage position. A headrest inner structure rotates at the upper pivot end, extends on a downward angle, is covered by a headrest outer structure having a head engagement surface. The headrest inner structure rotates away from the seatback so the headrest slides down the seatback face into the pivot structure storage position.
