Abstract: A fold-away table is provided for a seat in a vehicle, particularly a motorcoach. The table comprises a mounting structure disposed laterally of the seat, and a carrier structure mounted for displacement in a vertical plane between a lowered storage position and a raised use position. The carrier structure includes a pivot axis having at least one table element mounted thereon. A fold-away table of this type should be readily operable and protected from soiling. To this purpose the mounting structure is formed as a stationary vertical guide structure. The carrier is formed as a guided housing structure containing the table element and permitting it to be displaced between the use position and the storage position. The pivot axis extends substantially horizontally within the housing structure.
