Abstract
A headrest support assembly for a recliner chair includes mirror-image right and left support subassemblies that each include first and second support links that are pivotally connected at their upper ends to mounting brackets that can support a headrest of the chair, and upper and lower swing links that are pivotally connectable to corresponding first ends to the backrest frame of the chair and at corresponding second ends to the first support link. A pin extending from a lower end of the second support link extends in an opening along the length of the upper swing link. An actuator link which is movable by a support carriage of the chair is connected to the lower swing link to cause the links to shift between a retracted condition wherein the supported headrest faces upwardly and a deployed condition wherein the supported headrest faces forwardly of the chair. A spring can be connected between the upper swing link and the lower end of the second support link of each support subassembly to assist in shifting of the respective subassembly into a deployed condition. The opening in the upper swing link of each support subassembly can be slot shaped to enable the support headrest to tilt when the respective support subassembly is in a deployed condition.
