STOWABLE TABLES

摘要

Structures and assemblies for stowable tables (116) and similar objects are detailed. Versions of the assemblies may cooperate with pivoting covers mounted to vehicle seats (100) for purposes of deploying and retaining the tables (116). Other versions may include tables biased to fit snugly in recessed portions of backrests (108) of seats (100), with compression of the biasing mechanism (148) occurring sometimes when backrests are reclined and expansion of the mechanism (148) occurring sometimes when the tables (116) are deployed. Yet other versions may include tables latching to bars or other objects protruding rearward from the backrests (108).
