Pivoting headrest with cable operated release catch

A pivoting headrest assembly, comprising:

• a bracket supported upon a seatback frame;
• a headrest support pivotally secured to said bracket and biased in a forward rotating dump direction;
• a headrest bun secured to said headrest support;
• a sector pivotally secured to said bracket and to which is attached said headrest support;
• a release catch is pivotally supported at a further location relative to said bracket and being biased in a first upward direction so that a forward configured edge of said catch abuts a projecting pin associated with said sector in an upright design position established by said headrest support;
• and
• a cable is secured to a support fixed to a side of the bracket, an inner translating portion of said cable engaging said catch at a location offset from its pivot axis relative to the bracket such that, upon inward displacement of the translating portion, said catch is actuated out of engagement with said sector pin, resulting in said sector and attached headrest support pivoting a determined angular displacement relative to said seatback.
