Using foam for structural components of a seat assembly

A multi-latch assembly may be utilized, for example, in an aircraft passenger seat to hold separately deployable components such as a tray table and secondary member for separately supporting a personal entertainment device. The multi-latch assembly can include a first latch member and a second latch member. The first latch member can include a first arm. The first latch member can further include a first shaft that extends from the first arm and that is at least partially hollow. The second latch member can include a second arm. The second latch member can further include a second shaft that extends from the second arm and that is received within the first shaft of the first latch member so that the first arm and the second arm are rotatable independently of one another.
