  • Publication number: 20060261644
    Abstract: A folding tray assembly includes a support member and a tray member. The tray member is pivotably supported by the support member and is moveable relative thereto between a use position and a stowed position. The folding tray assembly further includes a locking mechanism operable to selectively lock the tray member to the support member in one of either the use position or the stowed position. The locking mechanism is housed within the tray assembly such that the mechanism is not visible or accessible by an occupant, but rather remotely actuated by a handle or lever. The support member, tray member, and locking mechanism are assembled together using integrally formed fasteners and do not require the use of individual mechanical fasteners. In one exemplary embodiment, the support member, tray member, and locking mechanism are snap-fit together using a tab/slot arrangement.
