Abstract
A tray table for a vehicle seat assembly which has a stowed position within the seat back in which the tray table forms a portion of the seat back seating surface. The tray table is mounted to the frame structure of the seat assembly by a multiple axis pivot mount to rotate first to a generally horizontal position in which it extends forward from the seat back. The pivot mount enables the tray table to then rotate about an upright axis to swing the tray table laterally toward an adjacent seat assembly. The pivot mount is located along one side edge of the tray table such that the tray table is cantilever supported to the seat back.
