Chair assemblies, table assemblies, modular components for use within chair assembies and table assemblies, and parts for use within the modular components

A table assembly for use with a chair, the table assembly comprising:

• a mounting structure;
• a table slide mechanism, wherein the table slide mechanism includes at least one linear draw slide, wherein the at least one linear draw slide is mounted to the mounting structure diagonal with respect to a front surface of a respective chair, wherein the table slide mechanism includes at least one table orientation automatic return mechanism, and wherein the at least one table orientation automatic return mechanism is configured to bias a table orientation toward at least one of:
• an ingress orientation, an egress orientation or an in-use orientation;
• and
• a table mounted to the table slide mechanism, wherein the table slide mechanism is configured such that, when the table is reoriented from a chair ingress/egress orientation to an in-use orientation, a side-to-side table movement and a backward table movement distance define a diagonal table movement.

A table assembly for use with at least two chairs, the table assembly comprising:

• a mounting structure;
• a first table slide mechanism attached to the mounting structure;
• a second table slide mechanism attached to the mounting structure;
• a first table mounted to the first table slide mechanism, wherein the first table slide mechanism is configured such that, when the first table is reoriented from a chair ingress/egress orientation to an in-use orientation, a side-to-side first table movement distance is proportional to a backward first table movement distance;
• and
• a second table mounted to the second table slide mechanism, wherein the second table slide mechanism is configured such that, when the second table is reoriented from a chair ingress/egress orientation to an in-use orientation, a side-to-side second table movement distance is proportional to a backward second table movement distance, and wherein a side-to-side first table movement is opposite a side-to-side second table movement.
