ABSTRACT:
The drawings illustrate an angularly adjustable head restraint assembly for use with the backrest of a vehicle seat. The assembly includes a post carried by the backrest, a headrest pivotally connected to the post and adapted to being manually pivotally moved from a horizontally oriented reclined attitude to a vertically oriented head support attitude, locking means for locking the headrest in the vertically oriented head support attitude, a cam with cooperating overcenter spring means for causing the cam to snap overcenter once it is provided forwardly from the head support attitude by the headrest to urge the locking means out of its locked relationship with the headrest and permit the headrest to be lowered toward the reclined attitude, and a projection formed on the locking means for contacting the cam and causing it to snap overcenter in the other direction just prior to the headrest attaining the reclined attitude into position for the next sequence.
