A furniture member powered headrest operating system, comprising: a headrest frame assembly rotatably connected to a furniture member seatback frame; an actuation mechanism connected to the seatback frame, the actuation mechanism having a power actuated axially displaceable member connected to the. headrest frame assembly operating to rotate the headrest frame assembly between a fully retracted to a fully forward rotated position; a biasing member connected to the furniture member seatback frame and the headrest frame assembly, wherein a biasing force is created during rotation of the headrest frame assembly away from the fully retracted position which operates to bias the headrest frame assembly from the fully forward rotated position to the fully retracted position without an operating force of the actuation mechanism; characterized in that a release system rotatably connects the headrest frame assembly to the actuation mechanisn operating to permit rotation of the headrest frame assembly from the fully forward rotated position back to the fully retracted position by only a biasing force of the biasing member; wherein the release system comprises: a pin connecting bracket connected to the headrest frame assembly; a semi-circular slot created in the pin connecting bracket; and a rotational pin connected to the power actuated axially displaceable member of the actuation mechanism and slidably received in the semi-circular slot, wherein the pin contacts a first slot end wall of the semi-circular slot during rotation of the headrest frame assembly from the fully retracted to the fully forward rotated positions, the pin slidably displaced toward a second slot end wall of the semi-circular slot during rotation from the fully forward rotated position to the fully retracted position if the headrest frame assembly encounters an object. a headrest frame assembly rotatably connected to a furniture member seatback frame; an actuation mechanism connected to the seatback frame, the actuation mechanism having a power actuated axially displaceable member connected to the. headrest frame assembly operating to rotate the headrest frame assembly between a fully retracted to a fully forward rotated position; a biasing member connected to the furniture member seatback frame and the headrest frame assembly, wherein a biasing force is created during rotation of the headrest frame assembly away from the fully retracted position which operates to bias the headrest frame assembly from the fully forward rotated position to the fully retracted position without an operating force of the actuation mechanism; characterized in that a release system rotatably connects the headrest frame assembly to the actuation mechanisn operating to permit rotation of the headrest frame assembly from the fully forward rotated position back to the fully retracted position by only a biasing force of the biasing member; a pin connecting bracket connected to the headrest frame assembly; a semi-circular slot created in the pin connecting bracket; and a rotational pin connected to the power actuated axially displaceable member of the actuation mechanism and slidably received in the semi-circular slot, wherein the pin contacts a first slot end wall of the semi-circular slot during rotation of the headrest frame assembly from the fully retracted to the fully forward rotated positions, the pin slidably displaced toward a second slot end wall of the semi-circular slot during rotation from the fully forward rotated position to the fully retracted position if the headrest frame assembly encounters an object.
