A reversible seat for an automotive vehicle having a head restraint which rotates between a forward-facing position and a rearward-facing position as the seat is moved between the forward-facing position and the rearward-facing position. The head restraint folds towards the seat back as the reversible seat passes through the peak of its locus to increase clearance with a headliner of the automotive vehicle. The head restraint returns to an upright rotated position as the seat reaches the opposing position.

A headrest assembly according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a head restraint including a push-button and a cam rotatable by a pull cable. The head restraint is moveable from an upright position to a folded position by movement of the push-button or the cam.

Adjustable headrest including a guide configured to be coupled to a seat; a head support coupled to the guide and configured to be movable along an adjustment path relative to the seat; and a slider having a surface defining a recess receiving the guide. A retainer is positioned to urge a surface of the slider against a surface of the guide, thereby maintaining friction between the surface of the slider and the surface of the guide. Additionally, the adjustable headrest includes a bracket that is fixable relative to the head support or fixed relative to the seat. The bracket has a mounting section positioned for fixation relative to the head support or for fixation to the seat and a guide receiving portion receiving the guide. The slider and the bracket are separate components and are formed from the same material or different materials.

The invention relates, among other things, to a head support (11) retained on the vehicle seat by at least one support rod (13) and movable, in particular pivotable, relative to the support rod (13) between at least two positions, wherein the head support (11) is lockable in at least one of the positions by a latch (18), the latch (18) has a bolt (19) and at least one abutment structure having at least one strike (23a, 23b), the bolt (19) is movable out of the one position engaging the strike (23a, 23b) and locking the head support (11), the bolt (19) is supported by at least one abutment of an abutment structure on the head support (11), and the abutment and the strike (23a, 23b) have at least one abutment face (26, 39, 41). The novelty is that the bolt (19) is held in contact with at least one of the abutment faces (26, 39, 41) by at least one wedge device (31, 32, 33) and/or by at least one spring unit (25a, 25b).
