ABSTRACT:
A recliner that is independently adjustable relative to the recliner. The headrest in the non-operative position is in planar alignment with the back of the recliner and can be incrementally moved toward the anterior end of the recliner, so that when a user moves the recliner toward a horizontal position the headrest can be used to support the head in a forward position, such as would be desirable watching television. The headrest includes a pivotal headrest having at least one pawl engaging a toothed member so that the headrest can be incrementally moved according to the spacing of the toothed member. When it is desirous to return the headrest to its starting position the headrest is moved forward until the pawl disengages and is locked in a non-engaging position so that the headrest can be returned to its starting position whereupon the pawl will engage a tab moving the pawl into engagement with the toothed member.
