Definitions
- the present invention relates to an ergonomic tray designed both to carry diverse items and to eat on it.
- the tray is characterised by a handle area that makes it easier for the user to hold the tray when carrying the food and elements used to eat, such as glasses, dishes and cutlery.
- the special configuration of said handle makes it easier for the user to eat from the tray.
- the tray of the present invention solves the drawbacks presented by trays having a peripheral lip related to gripping them, having at least one characteristic gripping area that also facilitates access to the food placed on the centre of the tray when eating from it.
- the present description consists of an ergonomic tray with a smooth central surface, used to support and carry various objects and foods.
- the smooth central surface is continuous to a lip that provides stability to the objects placed on the centre of the tray.
- the lip is interrupted at least on one side by an incut that constitutes the tray handle.
- Said handle has an ergonomic rounded concave profile that allows a perfect coupling of a hand in said handle.
- the handle is placed next to one of the rounded vertices of the tray, where the user's wrist is coupled when holding the tray with the hand.
- the handle of the invention provides the user eating on the tray with an easy access to the centre of the tray, where the food is placed.
- the user's forearm when about to eat will rest on the handle(s), so that the tray provides an improved access to its central area.
- the handle of the invention is constituted in the form of a concave incut made in the tray lip. Both ends of the handle have rounded ends continuous on one end with the tray lip and on the other with one of the tray's vertices.
- the tray shows the lip in a different side according to whether it is intended for right-handed or left-handed users.
- the tray can also have two symmetrically placed handles.
- the tray is made of any material, whether metallic, plastic or of a natural origin.
- the present invention consists of an ergonomic tray designed to facilitate carrying it and eating from it.
- Figure 1 shows an example of the tray of the invention for right-handed users.
- This tray has its handle on the right side.
- the handle has a rounded shape for a perfect coupling with the hand and wrist on the tray in order to facilitate carrying it.
- Figure 2 shows a user holding the tray in order to carry it.
- the main grip area (1) where the user will hold the tray, is concave and extends continuously until ending at a convex area (2) that ends where the tray lip begins.
- the main grip area (1) extends as a gentle concave line (3) that ends in a rounded vertex (4) of the tray.
- the hand holding the tray is perfectly coupled to the gentle concave line (3) while the wrist will rest on the rounded vertex (4) of the tray.
- Figure 3 shows a user ready to eat from the tray.
- the concave incut handle allows the user to access the centre of the tray surface easily, resting the forearm on the gentle concave line (3) of the handle.
- figure 5 shows a new example of an embodiment in which the tray has two handles opposite each other. Trays with two handles make it easier to carry heavy items.
