ABSTRACT:
An automotive rear seat assembly having a seat back with a top and a bottom for supporting the back of an occupant. A package tray extends from the top of the seat back to an outer periphery. The package tray has a first appendage and a second appendage. A rotational connection is disposed between the package tray and the top of the seat back which pivotally interconnects the first appendage of the package tray to the seat back. The rear seat assembly may be shipped in a first position with the package tray overlying the seat back and installed in a vehicle in a second position by rotating the package tray relative to the seat back to a position transverse to the seat back. The top of the seat back has a C-shaped receptacle and the second appendage of the package tray has a projecting tab. The projecting tab engages the receptacle to mechanically interlock the package tray to the top of the seat back when the package tray is in the second position transverse to the seat back.
