Ladder stand and activity rail assembly

A seating structure, comprising:

• a chair;
• a platform, wherein the platform supports the chair;
• and
• an activity rail assembly rotatably attached to the chair, the activity rail assembly having a horizontal activity rail portion and a mechanism for extending and retracting the activity rail assembly;
• wherein:
• the activity rail assembly is rotatable among a first stowed position in which the activity rail assembly is oriented upright, a second stowed position in which the activity rail assembly is oriented downwardly, and one or more deployed positions between the first stowed position and the second stowed position;
• and
• the activity rail assembly is extendable and retractable, via the mechanism, between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein when the activity rail assembly is in the retracted position, the horizontal activity rail portion is closer to the chair than when the activity rail assembly is in the extended position.

A seating structure, comprising:

• a chair;
• a track element supported by the chair and extending between a first location on a side of the chair and a second location different from the first location;
• and
• an activity rail assembly rotatably attached to the chair, the activity rail assembly having a horizontal activity rail portion and a mechanism for extending and retracting the activity rail assembly;
• wherein:
• the activity rail assembly is rotatable among a first stowed position in which the activity rail assembly is oriented upright, a second stowed position in which the activity rail assembly is oriented downwardly, and one or more deployed positions between the first stowed position and the second stowed position;
• the activity rail assembly is extendable and retractable, via the mechanism, between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein when the activity rail assembly is in the retracted position, the horizontal activity rail portion is closer to the chair than when the activity rail assembly is in the extended position;
• and
• the seating structure further comprises a knob slidably engaged with the track element and being movable along the track element between the first location and the second location, and wherein when the knob is in the second location, the knob does not obstruct a pathway of the activity rail assembly, and wherein when the knob is in the first location, the knob supports the activity rail assembly in one of the one or more deployed positions.
