2. The seating assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the at least one electrical component is an illumination source attached to a bottom of the at least one tray.
3. The seating assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the at least one electrical conductor is a flexible electrical cable.
4. The seating assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the at least one chair includes a cup holder in an associate arm rest tray includes a tray pivot, wherein the tray pivot is pivotally received within the cub holder.
5. The seating assembly as in claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the at least one electrical conductor is routed: through the cup holder, adjacent the cup holder, through a cup holder support, adjacent a cup holder assembly, or through a cup holder assembly.
6. The seating assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the at least one tray includes a cup holder.
7. The seating assembly as in claim 6 , wherein at least a portion of the at least one electrical conductor is routed: through the cup holder, adjacent the cup holder, through a cup holder support, adjacent a cup holder assembly, or through a cup holder assembly.
8. A seating assembly, comprising:
at least one chair that includes a cup holder in an associate arm rest;
at least one tray that includes a tray pivot, wherein the tray pivot is pivotally received within the cub holder, wherein the at least one tray is reorientable with respect to the at least one chair, and wherein the at least one tray is biased in at least one of; an in-use orientation or an open orientation via a tray biasing mechanism;
at least one electrical component attached to the tray; and
at least one electrical conductor extending from the chair to the at least one electrical component, wherein the at least one electrical component is relocated from a first location to a second location when the at least one tray is reoriented with respect to the at least one chair.
9. The seating assembly as in claim 8 , wherein the at least one electrical component is selected from the group: an illumination source, an electrical power outlet, or a data outlet.
10. The seating assembly as in claim 8 , wherein the at least one electrical conductor includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is electrically connected to the second portion via a sliding connection.
11. The seating assembly as in claim 8 , wherein the at least one electrical conductor is a flexible electrical cable.
12. The seating assembly as in claim 8 , wherein at least a portion of the at least one electrical conductor is routed through the cup holder and the tray pivot.
13. The seating assembly as in claim 8 , wherein the at least one tray is pivotally attached to the at least one chair via a tray attachment.
14. The seating assembly as in claim 13 , wherein at least a portion of the at least one electrical conductor is routed through the tray attachment or adjacent the tray attachment.
15. A seating assembly, comprising:
at least one chair;
at least one tray attached to the at least one chair via a tray attachment, wherein the at least one tray is reorientable with respect to the at least one chair, and wherein the at least one tray is biased in at least one of; an in-use orientation or an open orientation via a tray biasing mechanism;
at least one electrical component attached to the tray; and
at least one electrical conductor extending from the chair to the at least one electrical component, wherein the at least one electrical component is relocated from a first location to a second location when the at least one tray is reoriented with respect to the at least one chair.
16. The seating assembly as in claim 15 ,
wherein the at least one electrical conductor is a flexible electrical cable.
17. The seating assembly as in claim 15 , wherein the tray attachment includes a cup holder in an associate chair arm rest, and wherein the at least one tray includes a tray pivot, wherein the tray pivot is pivotally received within the cub holder.
18. The seating assembly as in claim 15 , wherein the at least one chair includes a first chair arm rest on a first side of a chair seat and a second chair arm rest on a second side of the chair seat, and wherein the at least one tray spans at least from the first chair arm rest to the second chair when the tray is in an in-use orientation.
19. The seating assembly as in claim 15 , wherein the at least one tray is linearly reorientable with respect to the at least one chair.
20. The seating assembly as in claim 15 , wherein the at least one tray is pivotably reorientable with respect to the at least one chair.
