More Information
Summary:A portable electronic device (PED) holder (120) for a passenger seat back (100). The PED holder (120) includes a backstop (124) pivotally attachable to the seat back (102) and a shelf (126) pivotally attached to the backstop. In use, the backstop (124) is configured to rotate to a position outside of a recess (122) formed in the seat back and the shelf (126) is configured to rotate open. When the PED holder (120) is fully deployed, the shelf (126) is substantially horizontal and an angle formed between the backstop (124) and a vertical axis is no greater than about negative 45 degrees, such that when a tray table (104) is stowed the closing motion of the tray table causes the shelf (126) to fold against the backstop (124) and the folded PED holder (120) to rotate into the recess (122). The present disclosure further provides a passenger seat (100) including the PED holder and a PED holder assembly installable as a kit of parts.
