  • Vehicle seat assembly
    Patent number: 5738411
    Abstract: A seat assembly which is movable from a use position to a stored position having an upwardly extending headrest which is first rotated to a stored position thereby lowering the overall height of the seat back prior to storing the seat back. The headrest is coupled to a lower seat back latch such that upon rotation of the headrest to its stored position, the lower seat back latch is released enabling the seat back to then be rotated to its stored position. The result is a single handed operation of moving the headrest to its stored position and moving the entire seat back to its stored position.
