A locking device for a deployable tray table disposed on a rearward surface of a passenger seatback is disclosed. The locking device may be incorporated into a hinge or knuckle of the tray table such that the tray table may be retained in a stowed configuration without a latch mechanism disposed along a top edge of the stowed tray table. In some embodiments, a support arm of the tray table may terminate with a plurality of narrow fingers, each having an elongated slot configured to receive an axel pin disposed within the knuckle.
