ABSTRACT:
Foldable car seat tables are disclosed. One embodiment is a hide-a-way model capable of being stored and removed from under a car seat. Another embodiment is capable of being removably installed without the use of penetrating fastening devices, such as screws, bolts, rivets, or the like. The table unit of either embodiment consists of multi-sections divided from one another by hinges. In the hide-a-way version, the table is held in an upsidedown storage position by guide runners which are centrally positioned in alignment on each table section and which slides along a track mounted on the bottom of the car seat for storage. To erect the table for use, the first or tray section, pulls out and bends up at a hinge, followed by the second section which is divided into a riser and cup portion. The second section is folded to a vertical position causing the tray section to become horizontally extended over the car seat. The riser is connected to a third section which remains on the track and the cup section is rotated to and supported in a forwardly extending portion in the same plane as the tray section. In the removable version, a front cup portion of the foldable table is supported through a telescopic support member to a base plate which is positioned on the car floor. The base plate is anchored in position with suitable weights. A rear tray section is supported above the car seat at a desired heighth through a lateral support member fastened underneath the rear tray section.
