Abstract
A latch assembly (110) can include a latch rail (314), a latch body (312), and a biasing mechanism (322). The latch rail can include a first end (318) and a second end. The first end can couple to a back portion of a seat that includes a table body. The latch body (312) can couple to the second end of the latch rail (314) such that the latch body can move between a first position and a second position relative to the latch rail. The latch body can prevent the table body from moving between a stowed position and a stowed position while in the first position. The latch body can allow the table body to move between the stowed position and the deployed position in the second position. The biasing mechanism (322) can couple to the latch body (312) and can bias the latch body into the first position.
