Abstract
A portable electronic device (PED) holder for a passenger seat back. The PED holder includes a backstop pivotally attachable to the seat back and a shelf pivotally attached to the backstop. In use, the backstop is configured to rotate to a position outside of a recess formed in the seat back and the shelf is configured to rotate open. When the PED holder is fully deployed, the shelf is substantially horizontal and an angle formed between the backstop and a vertical axis is no greater than about negative 45 degrees, such that when a tray table is stowed the closing motion of the tray table causes the shelf to fold against the backstop and the folded PED holder to rotate into the recess. The present disclosure further provides a passenger seat including the PED holder and a PED holder assembly installable as a kit of parts.
