ABSTRACT:
A headrest folding apparatus is disclosed for use in a vehicle seat of the type having a fold-down seatback panel and a headrest. The headrest folding apparatus is operable for permitting the vehicle operator to release a headrest latch mechanism via actuation of a latch release mechanism for permitting angular movement of the headrest from a normal use position to a dumped position. The headrest folding apparatus also includes a movement coordinating mechanism that is operative for causing movement of the headrest from its use position to its dumped position in response to movement of the seatback panel from an upright position to a forwardly folded position. Furthermore, the headrest folding apparatus is operative for coordinating actuation of a seatback latch mechanism in concert with the headrest latch mechanism. A latch release mechanism operably interconnects the headrest latch mechanism to the seatback latch mechanism. In operation, the headrest latch mechanism is automatically shifted from its locked mode to its released mode in response to the seatback latch mechanism being actuated for unlatching the seatback panel.
