Abstract
A tray table assembly and aircraft passenger seat arrangement including the same, the tray table assembly including a rail, along which a carriage slides, disposed within an alcove, from which a tray table can be deployed via a link connecting the tray table to the carriage. The link provides both the connection between the tray table and carriage for positioning the tray table horizontally along the rail and the pivotable connections between the tray table, link, and carriage for adjusting the tray table vertically, perpendicular to the rail path. Thus, the tray table assembly may be hidden in the alcove in a stowed position, partially deployed with the tray table vertically offset from the carriage, fully deployed with the tray table outside of the alcove, and any position in between.
