Abstract:
A headrest assembly according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes a head restraint configured to rotate from a first locked position to a second locked position to incline the head restraint relative to a seat back. Further, the head restraint is configured such that rotation of the head restraint beyond the second locked position causes the head restraint to become urged back to the first locked position. The head restraint includes a ratchet assembly having a pawl and pawl spring, and the pawl spring includes a first section and a second section. The first section of the pawl spring is configured to contact the pawl when the head restraint is rotated from the first locked position to the second locked position, and the second section of the pawl spring is configured to contact the pawl when the head restraint is rotated beyond the second locked position.

Claim (Index 1):
A seat for a motor vehicle, comprising:\n a seat back; a headrest assembly, comprising:\n a head restraint configured to rotate from a first locked position to a second locked position to incline the head restraint relative to the seat back, wherein: \n the head restraint is connected to the seat back by at least one rod, \n the head restraint includes a support cage having at least one plate and configured for rotation relative to at least one rod, \n the head restraint is configured such that rotation of the head restraint beyond the second locked position causes the head restraint to become urged to the first locked position, \n the head restraint includes a ratchet assembly mounted to the support cage and having a pawl and pawl spring, \n the pawl spring includes a first section and a second section, \n the first section of the pawl spring is configured to contact the pawl when the head restraint is rotated from the first locked position to the second locked position, \n the second section of the pawl spring is configured to contact the pawl when the head restraint is rotated beyond the second locked position, and \n wherein the second section of the pawl spring is spaced-apart from the first section of the pawl spring in a direction parallel to an axis of rotation of the head restraint such that the second section of the pawl spring lies in a different plane than the first section of the pawl spring.
