Abstract
A tray table assembly includes a carrier mechanism that translates a tray coupled with the carrier mechanism. The tray table assembly includes a latch assembly, the latch assembly includes a multi-tiered rivet coupled with a bracket. The latch assembly includes a biasing member coupled with the multi-tiered rivet. A latch is coupled with the multi-tiered rivet and the biasing member. The biasing member is configured to bias the latch toward a biased-closed position. The latch moves from the biased-closed position to an open position in response to an applied force above a target force. The latch in the open position selectively engages the carrier mechanism to lock the carrier mechanism.
