Abstract:
A retractable table assembly ( 5 ) for an automobile has a housing ( 6 ) located between the rear seats ( 2,3 ). Two tabletops ( 17 a,  17 b ) are stowed in the housing and deployed on rotatable arms ( 12 a,  12 b ). The arms are resiliently biased to the deployment position and when stowed, the tabletops are kept in place by push-push latches. A secondary link ( 16 ) between the tabletops and the pivot-point of the arms is provided, which maintains the relative disposition of the tabletop in relation to the housing during deployment. The tabletops can be deployed side-by-side so as to provide an expanded surface for working on.

Claim (Index 1):
A retractable table assembly for arrangement centrally between two seats; the retractable table assembly comprising two tabletops each moveable between deployed positions and a retracted position and carried by a respective arm; each tabletop being mounted to its respective arm via a support panel; each support panel being pivotably mounted to the respective arm at its proximal end and connected to the respective tabletop at its distal end, wherein in the deployed positions each support panel extends laterally outwardly towards its respective seat; and wherein the tabletops are arranged such that in a centrally deployed position one tabletop is deployed centrally, between the seats, whereby the deployed tabletop extends from the distal end of the support panel towards, and beyond, its proximal end; in a laterally arranged position, either tabletop, or both tabletops are deployed laterally, whereby the or each deployed tabletop extends from the distal end of its respective support panel in the direction away from its proximal end; and in an expanded surface position, a first one of the tabletops is deployed laterally, extending away from the proximal end of its support panel and the second tabletop is deployed centrally, whereby the second tabletop extends from the distal end of its respective support panel towards and beyond its proximal end and over the proximal end of the other support panel, so as to be adjacent the first tabletop and thereby form an expanded surface.
