Claim:
A pivoting headrest assembly, comprising: a bracket supported upon a seatback frame; a headrest support pivotally secured to said bracket and biased in a forward rotating dump direction; a headrest bun secured to said headrest support; a rotating sector supported upon said bracket and pivotally slaved to said headrest support; a cam pivotally supported upon said bracket and biased in a first direction to abut said sector in an upright design position established by said headrest support, a contact portion extending from a location of said cam offset from its pivotal connection to said bracket; and a lever independently rotated and coaxially supported relative to said rotating sector in a first biased direction, said lever being actuated against said bias to engage said contact portion, continued actuation of said lever causing said cam to pivotally disengage from said rotating sector, whereupon said headrest support and bun pivotally actuates to a forward dump position.
