A Ford patent application describes in-vehicle tables that can pivot to face parallel or perpendicular to a vehicle's center line.
A recent patent application from the automaker published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office April 20, 2023, but originally filed Oct. 14, 2021, shows a movable in-vehicle table placed among the seats in a vehicle cabin.According to the patent application, the table would be mounted to a base affixed to the floor, and have a pivoting arm that would allow it to be positioned either parallel or perpendicular to a vehicle's center line.
The drawings show tables in the back of what would likely be an SUV and in place of the front passenger seat. They also show back seats mounted longitudinally in the vehicle instead of latitudinally like usual to face the table. This is not the first time an automaker has designed an in-vehicle table. The Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan once offered a fold-out table as part of an optional swiveling-seat configuration. This allowed seats in the rear two rows to face each other with the table in between. That feature went away with the introduction of the Chrysler Pacifica for the 2017 model year.Ford hasn't sold minivans in the U.S.
