  As described above, when eating at a table, there is always a gap between the table and a person, so there is a problem that clothes, floors and the like are contaminated when spillage occurs. An object of the present invention is to provide a tray for preventing spillage that can prevent contamination of clothes, floors and the like due to spillage.

  The tray for preventing spillage of the present invention includes a basin body on which food is placed, and an spillage receiving member that is slidably mounted below the bottom surface of the basin body. In this spill-proof basin, a slidable spill-receiving member is mounted under the bottom of the basin body, so only the spill-over member is placed in the foreground with food still on the basin body. Can be pulled out. In addition, since the stretchable tray described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 slides on the bottom surface of the tray main body, it is impossible to expand and contract while food is placed on the tray main body.

  Here, the spillage receiving member may include a side wall portion in the sliding direction, and the tray body may include a side wall portion that fits on the peripheral edge portion with the side wall portion of the spillage receiving member. As a result, the side wall portion of the spillage receiving member and the side wall portion of the basin body peripheral portion are fitted and slide, so that the spillage receiving member is the side wall portion of the spillage receiving member and the basin body periphery It slides while being guided by the side wall portion.

  Further, the tray for preventing spillage of the present invention is such that the basin body has a leg portion for forming a gap between the bottom portion of the basin body and the member for receiving spillage at the lower part outside the side wall. It is desirable that Thereby, when the tray for eating spillage is placed on the table, a gap is formed between the tray body and the member for receiving spillage.

  In addition, it is desirable that the tray for preventing spillage of the present invention is formed such that the depth of the spillage receiving member is longer than the depth of the tray body. As a result, when the member for receiving spillage is pulled out from the tray body, a larger portion of the member for receiving spillage remains below the bottom surface of the tray body, and the position of the center of gravity approaches the tray body side.

(1) By equipping the tray body with food and the spillage receiving member slidably attached to the bottom of the basin body, the food is spilled with food on the tray body. Only the receiving member can be pulled out toward the front, and the gap between the table and the person can be closed by the pulled out spill receiving member. That is, by catching food spilled by this spilled food receiving member, spilled food is prevented from falling on clothes, floors, etc., and contamination of clothes, floors, etc. by spilled foods is prevented. It becomes possible.

(2) The spillage receiving member is provided with a side wall portion in the sliding direction, and the tray main body is provided with a side wall portion fitted to the side wall portion of the spillage receiving member at the peripheral portion. Is guided and slid by the side wall portion of the spillage receiving member and the side wall portion of the tray main body peripheral portion, so that the spillage receiving member can be smoothly pulled out and pushed back.

(3) The tray body is provided with legs for forming a gap between the bottom of the tray body and the spillage receiving member at the lower outside of the side wall, thereby preventing spillage. When the tray is placed on the table, the spillage receiving member becomes easy to slide.

(4) By forming the spillage receiving member so that its depth is longer than the depth of the tray body, the center of gravity of the spillage receiving member is closer to the tray body side. When pulled out from the main body, the spillage receiving member is less likely to fall out of the tray main body.
