Abstract: A passenger seat tray table mechanism that deploys by way of a controlled sequence of translational and rotational movements. Dependent on tray table mechanism position, the mechanism provides simultaneous unlocking of one motion and locking out of another motion in a predetermined mechanical sequence to avoid passenger entrapment and collisions with surrounding cabinetry of furniture. A wide range of table positions are achievable while all possible paths of table movement can be controlled.

Abstract: A tray table assembly for a passenger seat including a horizontal rail arranged alongside the seat, the horizontal rail having a length extending from the seatback to a position forward of the seat, a carriage assembly configured to travel horizontally along the rail, and a tray table attached to the carriage assembly, the tray table configured to pivot between a vertical orientation in which the tray table is stowed alongside the seatback and a horizontal orientation in which the tray table is positioned forward of the seatback.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for securing a moveable scat substructure of a vehicle seating system to a stationary base substructure of the vehicle seating system during a dynamic event such as, for example, rapid vehicle deceleration. In one embodiment, an inertia lock apparatus is provided for a vehicle seating system and includes: a striker bar; a pendulum latch pivotally moveable between a normal orientation and a latching orientation; and a lock mechanism configured to prevent the pendulum latch from moving from the latching orientation to the normal orientation. In another embodiment the inertia lock apparatus includes a release mechanism for moving the pendulum latch from the latching orientation to the normal orientation, thereby unlocking the lock mechanism and resetting the apparatus. In another aspect, a vehicle seating system including the inertia lock apparatus is provided.
