Abstract
Described are passenger seat backs having tray tables pivotally coupled to the seat back frame and which rotate about a single axis. The tray table () may be directly connected to the seat back frame () without the need for a complex and heavy multi-axis pivot. The resulting seat and associated tray table are lighter, more compact, and easier to manufacture.
