According to an aspect of the present invention there is provided a deployable table apparatus (1) for a vehicle (7). The apparatus includes a support arm (17) and a carrier member (19). The carrier member (19) is mounted to the support arm (17) and is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. A table (3) is mounted to the carrier member (19) and is pivotable between a first position suitable for stowage and a second position suitable for use. A biasing mechanism (23) is provided for biasing the carrier member (19) towards said extended position. At least in certain embodiments, movement of the carrier member (19) from said extended position to said retracted position is inhibited when the table (3) is in said second position. Furthermore, at least in certain embodiments, pivoting the table (3) to said second position is inhibited when the carrier member (19) is in said retracted position. The invention also relates to a vehicle (7) incorporating the apparatus (1). |
