Patent ID: 8104836

Claim:
A foldable headrest assembly for a seat, comprising: a plate member extending from a distal end to a support end; a seat frame member including a paddle member, said plate member being rotatably supported by said paddle member for rotation about an axis for movement between an upright and a forwardly folded position; wherein said paddle member includes a groove formed therein, wherein said groove includes a first stop surface and a second stop surface; and a latch lever member rotatably supported on one of said plate member and said paddle member for movement between a latched position engaging said groove of said paddle member for preventing folding movement from said upright position toward said forwardly folded position and for movement of said latch lever member to disengage said groove of said paddle member to an unlatched position allowing such folding movement; wherein the latch lever member and the groove are configured such that the latch lever member contacts both the first stop surface and the second stop surface simultaneously when the latch lever member is in the latched position; and wherein the first stop surface and the second stop surface are substantially parallel to one another.
