Abstract
The foldable headrest assembly includes a first and second support and a first and second paddle. A first and second plate extending from the supports and supported by the paddles rotate in unison about a first axis (A) from an upright to a forwardly folded position. A lock lever rotatably supported by the first plate rotates about a second axis (A) between a locked position and an unlocked position. A first biasing member (FBM) is disposed between the plates and a second biasing member (SBM) is supported by the first plate engaging the lock lever. The FBM rotatably biases the supports about the Atoward the forwardly folded position and the SBM rotatably biases the lock lever about the Atoward the locked position in a common rotational direction as the rotation of the supports about the A. A release mechanism for rotating the lock lever is also disclosed.
