| Abstract: |
A chair with self storable tray is composed of a chair component and a tray component. The chair component is composed of a chair, preferably folding, having a chair seat, chair back, a pair of front legs, a pair of rear legs, and a sheath. The tray component includes a pair of articulated arms, each composed of a first arm segment, a second arm segment and a pivot therebetween. The first and second arm segments are slidably received into a respective sheath. A tray is slidably interconnected with the second arm segments. Located within each of the second arm segments is a support rod which is pivotal from a received position to a support position wherein it is engaged with the chair seat. In operation, a user pulls upon the tray component so that it raises up from behind the chair back, wherein the articulated arms slide outwardly with respect to the sheaths until the pivots thereof are exposed. The user than pivots the second arm segments in relation to the first arm segments so that the tray is located at the front of the chair, while the support rods fall and are seatingly engaged with respect to the chair seat so as to thereby provide support for the tray. The user may slide the tray off the second arm segments to sit upon the chair and then slide it back on.
