Described are assemblies that include elements of a tray table, such as for an air-craft or other passenger craft. A tray table body can be movable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. A set of arms may support the table body relative to a seat back in the stowed configuration and in the deployed configuration. In response to movement of the seat back (such as in a crash scenario), the arms may permit release of a constraint of the tray table body that would otherwise inhibit the tray table body from moving with the seat back. 1. A tray table arm comprising:a pivot mount configured to receive a shaft of a tray table body so as to permit rotation of the tray table body relative to the tray table arm;a stowed configuration stopper;a deployed configuration stopper, the stowed configuration stopper and the deployed configuration stopper defining ends of a path of travel, the stowed configuration stopper and the deployed configuration stopper disposed such that the path of travel is sized to permit travel therein of a rotation guide structure coupled with the tray table body such that (i) rotation of the tray table body is obstructed when travel of the rotation guide structure is obstructed and (ii) rotation of the tray table body is allowed when travel of the rotation guide structure is allowed, the stowed configuration stopper configured to block travel of the rotation guide structure past one end along the path of travel so as to prevent rotation of the tray table body past a stowed configuration of the tray table body, and the deployed configuration stopper configured to block travel of the rotation guide structure past another end along the path of travel so as to prevent rotation of the tray table body past a deployed configuration of the tray table body; andan override feature configured to, in response to exertion of a force exceeding a threshold upon the tray table body, modify at least one of a position, structure, or configuration of ...
