A sliding stop switch may include a first rod extending in the longitudinal direction thereof, a second rod coupled to the first rod such that one end portion thereof is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the first rod, and a switch member coupled to the first rod to slide in the longitudinal direction of the first rod and to be fixed at a plurality of points on the first rod to stop the sliding of one end portion of the second rod.

The invention relates mainly to a seat comprising a backrest carrying on a rear face side a tray table that can be moved between a deployed position and a stowed position, said tray table comprising a latch that can be moved between an unlocked position and a locked position, characterized in that said tray table further comprises a locking system configured to hold the tray table in a stowed position following the deformation of said seat during an impact.

Provided is a table unit enabling easy opening of a table provided to the back surface of a seat backrest. A table unit is provided with: a hinge mechanism that is coaxially fitted to a fulcrum shaft portion of a table main body and that can retain and release the table main body in and from a plurality of attitudes; and a hook unit that retains and releases the table main body at the position of a housed attitude. The hinge mechanism is configured to have a pair of cam bodies that face each other in the axial direction, and, through mutual cooperation of the pair of cam bodies, position the table main body to a use attitude in which the table main body is deployed to a use position and to a partially-housed attitude between the housed attitude and the use attitude as a plurality of stages of attitudes.

A vehicle seating assembly includes a seatback. The seatback includes a rear portion and a substantially horizontal strap including first and second ends fixed to the rear portion. The substantially horizontal strap further includes an intermediate attachment area fixed to the rear portion between the first and second ends.

An airbag system for a vehicle table is provided. The system includes a table disposed in front of a passenger and an airbag cushion that is provided inside the table. The airbag cushion expands while being deployed in a state in which a first end portion of the airbag cushion is fixed to an internal portion of an edge of the table to allow a second end portion to protrude above the table and to cover an upper surface of the table. The airbag cushion also includes a bottom surface portion that faces the table, which is positioned at an interval from the upper surface of the table while the airbag cushion is deployed. An inflator supplies gas to the airbag cushion to deploy the airbag cushion.

A tray table assembly including a main table and a table extension deployable from a stowed position below the main table to a deployed position laterally adjacent the main table. The main table and the table extension are coupled through an intermediate support slidably coupled to each of the main table and the table extension. The deploy the table extension, the table extension slides relative to the intermediate support and the intermediate support slides relative to the main table to increase the total surface area of the table top as needed.

A table top is for a vehicle compartment accommodating passengers, in particular a rail vehicle. The table top includes a stationary part connected to the vehicle and a moving tray located across from a passenger chair or seat. The tray is movable along an axis of rotation parallel to a plane of the table top. The table top includes a chassis on which the tray is mounted. The chassis is translatable relative to the stationary part along an axis parallel to the plane of the tray and perpendicular to the axis of rotation. In a deployed configuration, the tray is deployed jointly with the stationary part, with the chassis maximally separated from the stationary part. In a folded configuration, the tray is pivoted along its axis of rotation in an inclined position relative to the stationary part, with the chassis minimally separated from the stationary part.

Trays for tray tables that prevent liquid spilled on a top surface of the trays from spreading over edges of the trays. A casing having a top surface with at least one aperture through the top surface, a receptacle within the casing positioned below the aperture in the top surface configured to receive an absorbent pad that can be removably positioned in the receptacle below the aperture to be in communication with the top surface of the tray. Spilled liquids can be guided toward the aperture in the top surface and absorbed in the absorbent pad within the casing. The absorbent pad may be a superabsorbent material. The top surface can have a superhydrophobic coating.

A motor vehicle comprises two front seats aligned in a transverse direction, and at least one rear seat. Said at least one rear seat comprises a seating portion with a seating portion frame, a backrest with a backrest frame. The backrest frame is pivotable relative to the seating portion frame about a first transverse axis, between at least one deployed position for receiving an occupant of the seat and a folded position in which the backrest frame is folded down to face the seating portion frame. Said at least one rear seat is adapted to have a configuration in which said at least one rear seat is in said folded position and the backrest of said at least one rear seat extends at least partly between the two front seats.

A retractable tray device for a vehicle, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising a frame structure, at least one tray, an electric motor fixed to the frame structure, a worm screw rotated by the electric motor, and a slider mounted on the worm screw, the slider being integral with the tray so that the rotation of the worm screw causes a displacement in translation of the slider along the worm screw, and consequently of the tray relative to the frame structure, substantially within the plane of the tray.
