A folding tray system with three sections might fit into a future gloveboxFord has developed a fold-out tray system for use by a vehicle's front passenger, but this is no airline-style tray table.

The tray system would consist of up to three sections connected by hinges, allowing the whole assembly to fold up and stow in a vehicle's glovebox, according to a Ford patent application published by theOne of the three sections would be attached to the inside of the glovebox, while the other end would be anchored to the front passenger seatbelt buckle via a connector, Ford says in the patent application.

At least one of the three tray sections would also have molded-in recesses for holding items, according to the application. Accompanying drawings show a number of circular carve-outs that look like they could serve as cupholders, as well as a slit that might be able to prop up a phone or tablet.While this tray system provides more space for storing smaller items, the tradeoff could be a front seat that can't be used by a passenger.
