Portable electronic device holder for tray tables
A tray table assembly includes a table body and a support. The support can include a first end and a second end distal from the first end. The second end of the support can be pivotably attached to the table body. The support can define a receiving area between the first end and the second end.
1. A tray table assembly comprising:
a table body comprising an upper surface and a lower surface opposite from the upper surface; and
a support comprising a first end and a second end opposite from the first end, the second end of the support pivotably attached to the lower surface of the table body such that the support is pivotable relative to the table body, the support defining a receiving area between the first end and the second end,
wherein the receiving area is dimensioned to accommodate a portion of a portable electronic device within the receiving area.
2. The tray table assembly of claim 1 , wherein the support comprises:
a bend portion between the first end and the second end;
a first support portion between the bend portion and the first end; and
a second support portion between the bend portion and the second end.
3. The tray table assembly of claim 2 , wherein a distance from the bend portion to the first end is greater than a distance from the bend portion to the second end.
4. The tray table assembly of claim 2 , wherein the bend portion, the first support portion, and the second support portion together define a “C”-shaped profile.
5. The tray table assembly of claim 2 , wherein the first support portion defines a first contact point within the receiving area configured to contact a first side of a portable electronic device and wherein the second support portion defines a second contact point within the receiving area configured to contact a second side of the portable electronic device.
6. The tray table assembly of claim 1 , wherein the table body defines a support groove in the upper surface of the table body proximate to a forward edge of the table body, wherein the support is pivotably attached to the table body proximate to the forward edge, and wherein the support groove is dimensioned to receive a portion of the support within the support groove when the support is in a stowed position.
7. The tray table assembly of claim 6 , wherein the support groove is dimensioned such that the portion of the support within the support groove is flush with the upper surface of the table body.
8. The tray table assembly of claim 1 , wherein the support is pivotable relative to the table body between a stowed position and a deployed position, wherein in the stowed position, the first end is positioned proximate to the upper surface of the table body, and wherein in the deployed position, the first end is spaced apart from the upper surface of the table body.
9. A tray table assembly comprising:
a table body comprising an upper surface and a lower surface opposite from the upper surface; and
a support comprising a first end and a second end opposite from the first end, the second end of the support pivotably attached to the lower surface of the table body such that the support is pivotable relative to the table body, the support defining a receiving area between the first end and the second end,
wherein the support is pivotable relative to the table body between a stowed position and a deployed position,
wherein in the stowed position, the first end is positioned proximate to the upper surface of the table body, and wherein in the deployed position, the first end is spaced apart from the upper surface of the table body.
10. The tray table assembly of claim 9 , wherein the receiving area is dimensioned to accommodate a portion of a portable electronic device within the receiving area.
11. The tray table assembly of claim 9 , wherein the support comprises:
a bend portion between the first end and the second end;
a first support portion between the bend portion and the first end; and
a second support portion between the bend portion and the second end.
12. The tray table assembly of claim 9 , wherein the table body defines a support groove in the upper surface of the table body proximate to a forward edge of the table body, wherein the support is pivotably attached to the table body proximate to the forward edge, and wherein the support groove is dimensioned to receive a portion of the support within the support groove when the support is in a stowed position.
13. A tray table assembly comprising:
a table body comprising an upper surface and a lower surface opposite from the upper surface; and
a support comprising a first end and a second end opposite from the first end, the second end of the support pivotably attached to the lower surface of the table body such that the support is pivotable relative to the table body, the support defining a receiving area between the first end and the second end,
wherein the support comprises:
a bend portion between the first end and the second end;
a first support portion between the bend portion and the first end; and
a second support portion between the bend portion and the second end.
