Abstract
Described are table assemblies for a passenger seat. The table assemblies may include a paddle arm, a table support, and a leveling assembly. A first end of the paddle arm may include a paddle arm tab extending outwards from the paddle arm. The table support may be pivotably connected to the first end and configured to support a table. The table support may include a top side that defines a latch receiving area. The leveling assembly may include a latch and a latch adjuster. The latch may be pivotably supported on the table support within the latch receiving area. The latch adjuster may selectively engage a first end of the latch and control a tilt angle range of the table support. The latch adjuster may engage the latch at a first tilt angle, and the paddle arm tab may engage the latch at a second tilt angle.
