Abstract

A folding table device (20) for a vehicle seat comprises a table top (22), an articulated arm (24), an articulation (26), an airbag (38) as well as an inflator (42) connected to the airbag (38) by means of which the airbag (38) is inflatable. The table top (22) can be adjusted via the articulation (26) including the articulated arm (24) about a pivot axis (S) from a rest position into a use position and from the use position into the rest position. Further, the airbag (38) and the inflator (42) are attached to the table top (22). Accordingly, the distance (a) of the center of gravity (54) of the inflator (42) from the pivot axis (S) is smaller than the distance (A) of the center of gravity (56) of the folded airbag (38) from the pivot axis (S). In addition, there is provided a vehicle comprising a vehicle seat and a folding table device (20) of this type.
