Abstract
Examples provide a modular tray table apparatus associated with a console of a seat unit. A tray table carrier unit is removably mounted to a portion of the console. A tray table support element is coupled to the carrier unit and a tray table. The tray table support element movably supports the tray table. A linear displacement mechanism is disposed between the tray table and the tray table support element. The tray table slides along a linear displacement path between a fully retracted configuration and at least one deployed configuration. A rotational displacement mechanism disposed between the tray table and the tray table support element. The tray table slides along a rotational displacement path defined by at least one rotational guide between a linear configuration of the tray table and a substantially perpendicular configuration of the tray table when the tray table is in a fully deployed configuration.
