A head restraint (20) having a front surface (22) for supporting the head
of the occupant seated on the seat assembly (10) is pivotally coupled to
the upper portion (15) of the seat back (12) and moveable relative to the
seat back between a plurality of angled head supporting positions (A) and
a forwardly folded stowed position (B) defined by the front surface (22)
of the head restraint (20) being generally perpendicular to the front
surface (17) of the seat back (12). The seat assembly further includes a
mechanism operatively interconnecting the head restraint to the seat back
for providing automatic and continuous pivotal movement of the head
restraint between one of the head supporting positions and the stowed
position in response to pivotal adjustment of the seat back between one
of the reclined seating positions and the forwardly folded positions.
