Disclosed is a Personal Electronic Device (PED) positioning apparatus that stows within a tray table. An articulated holder includes a crossbar arm that slides on at least one support shaft to a position where a crossbar can be rotate to provide an angled surface relative to the tray table to support a PED. When stowed, the crossbar presents a minimal profile with respect to the tray table. The exposed surface of the crossbar can be made to match the color and appearance of the tray table so that the apparatus has minimal visual impact.

A compartmentalized folding bag, including an outer cover enclosing one or more cylindrical storage compartments, an inner cover including a hollow cylinder passing through the storage compartments, a spine inside the inner cover, operative to raise and lower, causing the bag to raise and lower vertically, and operative to open and close, causing the bag to expand and compress radially, and a locking mechanism that locks to hold the spine in its raised expanded position and that unlocks to pull the spine back to its lowered compressed position.

A surface extender device includes a first panel having a first front wall and a first rear wall, and a second panel having a second front wall and a second rear wall. The surface extender device also includes a first clamping mechanism mounted to the first front wall of the first panel and configured to secure the first panel to a surface, and a second clamping mechanism mounted to the second front wall of the second panel and configured to secure an object to the second panel. The surface extender device also includes a hinge that connects the first panel to the second panel such that the second panel is rotatable with respect to the first panel. The surface extender device further includes a locking mechanism configured to maintain the second panel at an angle with respect to the first panel.

A system for facilitating access, includes, a tabletop having an undersurface; a tray support movably positioned relative to the undersurface of the tabletop so as to be positionable between a retracted position in which the tray support is inward of the undersurface of the tabletop and an extended position in which a portion of the tray support extends outwardly from the underside surface of the table top; a tray having an upper tray surface; a height extender removably couplable to the tray; and a lock. The lock is operatively associated with the height extender and the tray support, and is configured to position and lock the tray to the tray support when the tray support is in the extended position, and to locate an upper planar tray surface of the tray at a desired height relative to the tabletop.

A gear type pull-out table including a table frame, first and second table boards symmetrically disposed on the table frame, an extended table board, and a gear assembly, is provided. The extended table board is disposed between the first and second table boards. The gear assembly is positioned in the table frame, corresponding to the extended table board. The gear assembly includes a first toothed rack fixed to the first table board, a second toothed rack fixed to the second table board, and a gear in synchronous engagement with the first and second toothed racks. The first and second toothed racks are disposed in parallel on two sides of the gear. The first and second table boards are driven to move in opposite directions through the synchronous engagement of the first and second toothed racks and the gear to join or separate the first and second table boards.

A pull-out table with a single slide rail including a table frame, first and second table boards symmetrically disposed on the table frame, an extended table board disposed between the first and second table boards, and a sliding rail assembly, is provided. The sliding rail assembly including rope winding wheels is disposed on an inner frame on one side of the table frame along a length of the table frame. The rope winding wheel on one end of the inner frame is cooperatively linked to the rope winding wheel on the other end of the inner frame through a synchronously wound steel rope. The first and second table boards are respectively connected to an upper part and a lower part of the steel rope through respective slider seats. When one of the table boards is pulled, the other table board is driven to move in an opposite direction.
