A table assembly movable between stowed and deployed configurations. A base portion is attachable to a surface, and a table portion is moveable between retracted and extended positions. The table portion includes upper and lower surfaces. An arm portion has first and second ends, the first end engaging the base portion and the second end disposed within the table portion. The table portion is slidably moveable along a longitudinal axis of the arm portion between the retracted and extended positions, and rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the arm portion between generally vertical and generally horizontal positions when the table portion is in the extended position.

Disclosed is a shelf with a housing having a hollow interior and a tray having a plurality of surfaces, wherein the tray is in communication with the hollow interior of the housing, a holder is attached to the shelf one or more electrical outlets, which are electrically connected to a power source.

A passenger tray table includes at least two hingedly connected table sections, and is operable to move between at least three positions: 1) a stowed mounting position against a fore positioned monument, where the tray table stows at an angle relative to vertical, and a top portion of the tray table is closer to the passenger than a lower portion of the passenger tray table in the stowed position, 2) a first operative position, where a front table section of the tray table lowers into a horizontal position, while the rear table section remains in the angled stowed position, and 3) a second operative position, where the front table section is disposed closer to the passenger while the rear table section of the passenger tray table is lowered to a horizontal position, in line with the front table section to provide a contiguous table surface.

A stowable table assembly includes: a table portion rotatable between a deployed position and a stowed position; a carrier configured to be slidably received in a recess; and a plurality of elongate members provided between the table portion and the carrier. Each of the elongate members has a wedge-shaped cross-section such that the elongate members comprise side surfaces that taper towards each other from an upper surface to an underside surface of the elongate members. A first elongate member is coupled to the table portion and a last elongate member is coupled to the carrier. The elongate members are movably coupled to one another such that the side surfaces of neighboring elongate members abut when the table portion is in the deployed position.

Embedded furniture systems include a furniture assembly having a furniture stowage component and a furniture element extending from and moveably connected to the stowage component. The stowage component has a body with a furniture compartment recessed therein. The furniture element is selectively stowable in the compartment and deployable therefrom on a first side of the assembly. The assembly extends through an opening disposed in a wall component. The surface of the first side of the assembly is aligned with a first side of the wall and the covered portion of the body extends from an opposing second side of the wall. A concealing element is disposed about and substantially covers an exposed portion of the body on an opposing second side of the assembly. The concealing element includes a substantially hollow furniture component such that the covered portion of the body appears to be a piece of furniture.

A passenger seat table assembly including a table movable between a fully stowed position and a fully deployed position through at least one intermediate position in which the table rotates relative to a support arm, wherein the table rotates in a first direction relative to the support arm as the table moves from the fully stowed position toward the at least one intermediate position, and rotates in a second direction opposite the first direction as the table moves from the at least one intermediate position toward the fully deployed position.

Folding table, in particular for an aircraft, with a frame preferably to be installed in an armrest or in a side-panelling in the aircraft, with a support device for a table top, with a displacement device for displacing the support device along the frame from a stowed position to a deployed position, with a folding device for folding a support element of the support device from the deployed position to a use position, and with a drive device for assisting the displacement device in displacing the support device from the stowed position to the deployed position, wherein the drive device comprises a linear drive element which is connected to the displacement device via a cable pull device.

A folding table for an aircraft comprising a supporting device for a tabletop, a pull-out device for moving the supporting device from a vertical stowing position to a horizontal usage position via a pull-out position, wherein the pull-out device has a guiding device for guiding the supporting device between the stowing position and the pull-out position, wherein the guiding device has a linear first guide track for a first guide element on the supporting device and a second guide track for a second guide element on the supporting device, which second guide track has linear and arcuate segments, wherein the supporting device is slid along the linear segment of the second guide track of the guiding device from the stowing position into the pull-out position, and is pivoted along the arcuate segment of the second guide track of the guiding device from the pull-out position into the usage position.

Embedded furniture systems include a wall having a recessed pocket, a furniture element hingedly connected to the wall and selectively moveable between a storage position in which the furniture element is vertically disposed in the pocket and a utility position in which the furniture element horizontally extends from the pocket, and a support structure hingedly connected to the furniture element and selectively positionable between an extended position in which the support structure protrudes substantially perpendicular to the furniture element and a retracted position in which the support structure extends substantially parallel to the furniture element. An illuminating mechanism illuminates a lighting element disposed in the support structure when the support structure is in the retracted position by bringing a contact element connected to the surface of the furniture element into communication with a circuit element connected to the surface of the support structure to complete an electrical circuit.
