Aircraft cabin apparatus including personal electronic device holder

An apparatus for an aircraft cabin, comprising:

• a body, comprising:
• a top section including a top surface;
• a bottom section;
• a cavity defined by a bottom interior surface of the top section and a top interior surface of the bottom section;
• a recess, the recess being defined within a top surface perimeter of the top surface, the recess including a recess surface and a recess perimeter contained within the top surface perimeter such that an entirety of the recess perimeter is surrounded by at least a portion of the top surface, the recess surface including a plurality of recess friction contact pads configured to support a personal electronic device;
• a sloped surface between the top surface and the recess surface;
• and
• one or more rail channels configured to receive one or more rails of at least one linkage assembly, the body being couplable to a surface within the aircraft cabin via the at least one linkage assembly;
• and
• a personal electronic device holder, comprising:
• a paddle located opposite the sloped surface within the recess, an entirety of the paddle being positioned within the recess perimeter and including a paddle perimeter dimensioned to fit within the recess perimeter when the personal electronic device holder is in a closed position, the paddle configured to support the personal electronic device when the personal electronic device holder is in an open position;
• at least one hinge coupler coupled to the paddle within the recess, the at least one hinge coupler and the paddle coupled to the body within the recess, the at least one hinge coupler positioned within the recess perimeter, the personal electronic device holder configured to rotate about an axis through the at least one hinge coupler between at least the closed position and the open position;
• and
• a tab coupled to the at least one hinge coupler, the tab inserted within the cavity, the tab set at an angle relative to an orientation of the paddle, the tab configured to prevent rotation of the personal electronic device holder in a selected direction when the tab makes contact with the bottom interior surface of the top section.
