  • Patent number: 4159071
    Abstract: An improved utility table mounted on the back of a reclinable seat, such as those found in commercial airplanes, for use by the passenger occupying a second seat immediately behind the first seat. The table top includes forward and rearward sections which fold onto each other. The utility table is removeably supported by arms which are pivotally attached to the back of the first seat. The rearward section is connected to the forward section by hinge means. When the rearward section is folded onto the forward section the table may then be used as a small table for holding drinks. Thereafter the folded table may be pivoted as a unit into the first seat back for storage.
