Abstract
A tray table folding mount for use on an unfolded tray table on an aircraft that incorporates a headrest attached to an upper support attached to an intermediate member. The intermediate member is attached to a lower planar member that is placed over the tray table. The headrest includes a nose relief aperture that receives the nose of the passenger when his forehead and face are resting in the headrest. The upper support, the intermediate member, and lower planar member are easily assembled or disassembled and stored in a compact configuration. In one embodiment, the upper support and intermediate member are pivotally connected, and the intermediate member is pivotally connected to the lower planar support. Formed on the planar member is an edge engaging lip that captures an edge on the tray table. Also mounted on the intermediate member is a ledge configured to hold a viewing device.
