Abstract: An armrest assembly for a passenger vehicle, such as an aircraft, that includes a light source, a seat assembly that includes the armrest assembly, and related method(s) of manufacturing or servicing. In general, the armrest assembly includes a light source that is supported by an articulating support such that it can be positioned in a variety of locations. The articulating support is pivotally mounted to an armrest in a forward portion of a side notch that extends along the lateral edge of the armrest. The armrest assembly is configured such that the light source is disposed in the side notch and oriented to direct light from the side notch away from the armrest when the light assembly is in a stowed configuration. The articulating support may be moved so that the light source is disposed out of the side notch, so as to provide a reading light.

Abstract: A personal device carrier for a passenger seat. The personal device carrier has a backing plate integrated into a backside of the passenger seat and a folding tray assembly with a base adjustably coupled to the backing plate for vertical movement of the folding tray assembly relative to the backing plate. The folding tray assembly includes a tray rotationally mounted to the base and movable between a generally vertical stowed position and a generally horizontal deployed position for holding a personal device.
