Abstract:
Disclosed is a Personal Electronic Device (PED) positioning apparatus that stows within a tray table. An articulated holder includes a crossbar arm that slides on at least one support shaft to a position where a crossbar can be rotate to provide an angled surface relative to the tray table to support a PED. When stowed, the crossbar presents a minimal profile with respect to the tray table. The exposed surface of the crossbar can be made to match the color and appearance of the tray table so that the apparatus has minimal visual impact.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of positioning a PED, comprising the steps of:\n providing a tray table having at least one guide shaft disposed internally; providing at least one cross bar arm interconnected with the guide shaft and having a first end with a hinge in proximity to it and a second end interconnected with a crossbar; wherein in an initial state the cross bar arm is disposed within the guide shaft and the crossbar sits against the edge of the tray table; extending the crossbar arm outward from the guide shaft and beyond the tray table to an extended position; rotating the crossbar arm via the hinge so that the crossbar arm is disposed at an angle from a surface of the tray table; and placing a PED against the crossbar such that a display of the PED is presented at a viewing angle.
