A retractable shelf system for use with a motor vehicle is provided. The retractable shelf system includes a microcontroller, a rail assembly operably disposed within a door of the motor vehicle and in operable communication with the microcontroller, which is configured to control the rail assembly, and a retractable shelf including a hinge assembly that is operably coupled to the rail assembly and in operable communication with the microcontroller for moving the retractable shelf from a stowed configuration disposed within the door of the motor vehicle to an un-stowed configuration disposed outside of the door of the motor vehicle, wherein in the un-stowed configuration the retractable shelf is rotatable from a vertical configuration to a horizontal configuration.

This embodiment of a cloth tray cover and its accessories is used on tray tables found on airplanes or trains, and with tray tables in some cars. The tray cover provides travelers with a protective germ barrier, as well as a way to organize personal items while traveling. The clear sleeve on the tray surface transforms the tray into a changeable activity board or a moisture barrier for reading material when drinks are served. The pockets of the tray cover accommodate both small and large personal items that travelers want to have handy. The tray cover can be sized and altered to fit any type of tray table for travel. The foldable drink holder provides a place to put one's drink when the tray table is up. The detachable viewing pocket provides a place to view an electronic device and can be adjusted to a passenger's preferred viewing position. It is also the storage case for the tray cover, the electronic device and the drink holder.

A portable terminal holding device for a vehicle includes: a table configured to be stored in a storing portion provided at one end side, in a seat width direction, of a seat cushion, and that, in a state of usage, is configured to extend from the storing portion toward another end side, in the seat width direction, of the seat cushion; and a terminal holding portion that, in the state of usage of the table, is provided at a distal end side of the table and is configured to hold a portable terminal, and that, in a stored state in which the table is stored in the storing portion, projects out from the storing portion toward the other end side in the seat width direction.

Arrangements for safety and comfort in vehicles.

A side table assembly for a vehicle seat includes a table on which a cup holder inserting part is formed, a body arranged on a side face of the vehicle seat, a joint hinge device coupled between the body and the table to allow the table to be rotated with respect to the body; and a cup holder having an opened upper face and a closed lower face and coupled to the cup holder inserting part. The joint hinge device includes a joint hinge connected to the table at one side and connected to the body at another side, a hinge spring inserted into the joint hinge to elastically support the joint hinge, and a hinge cylinder having one side inserted into the joint hinge and being in contact with the hinge spring and another side inserted into by the body.

A seating arrangement comprising at least one seat; a console adjacent the at least one seat; a deployable table assembly; and locking device. The table assembly is movable in a longitudinal direction from a stowed position into a deployed position in which it is located on an upper surface of the console. The locking device is operable to releasably engage the table assembly in the deployed position to prevent movement of the table assembly in a lateral direction.

A table apparatus includes a table device and a table support structure that is connected to the table device. The table support structure includes a carrier structure and a table support linkage. The carrier structure is connected to the table support linkage via a single pivot connection. The table device is pivotable about only the single pivot connection.

The present invention provides a table arrangement comprising a table moveably mounted to a table mounting structure, a compensation arrangement connected between the table and table mounting structure for reducing the force required to lift the table from a lowered position to a raised position, and a damper arrangement for reducing the speed of the table as it moves from the raised position to the lowered position, wherein the compensation arrangement is mounted on a shaft, such that as the table is lowered, the shaft rotates about its longitudinal axis and wherein the damping arrangement is arranged to act on the shaft to reduce the speed of its rotation about its longitudinal axis. The invention also provides an aircraft seat module and a method of deploying or stowing a table arrangement.

A table/tray is provided which is removably mountable into a standard beverage or cup holder of a seating armrest, and maintains the cup holder capacity of the armrest, while at the same time providing the additional concurrent functionality of a table or tray adjacent to the seating assembly. This table/tray is movable by rotation within the cup holder, or otherwise, to be shifted out of the way of the user's entry/egress motion with respect to the seat assembly. This tray/table is dimensioned and/or foldable so as to be stored under the seating assembly, or closely adjacent thereto in available space, and it can be used at multiple different locations within the vehicle or other structure of use, according to the availability of cup holder recesses to receive it.
