Description

April 8, I1930. S. GLASS, SR 1,754,094
SELF SERVING TRAY Filed Aug. 4, 1925 Patented Apr. y8, 1930 UNITED STATES GEORGE GLASS, SR., OF ERIE, PNNSYLVANIA SELF-SERVING TRAY Application led August 4, 1925. Serial No. 48,103.
The invention relates to an appliance to be set upon a dining table and to hold various articles of food, condiments, etc., for use by the diners, and has for its object the provision of a device of this character comprising a novel construction of revoluble platformincluding a novel bearing structure therefor, the device being so constructed that it may be readily seated upon and removed from the 10 dining table.
The construction and operation of the in vention as well as its advantages will be described in detail hereinafter and the construction will be found illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a side view of a device showing it seated on a table top;
Figure 2 a bottom plan view of the s elf serving tray;
Figure 3 a transverse sectional view of the tray taken on a plane indicated by the line 3-3 of Figure 2, and
Figure 4 a plan View of the separator disk.
In the drawings similar reference characters will be used to designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The improved self-serving tray comprises a base 1 having a downwardly extending iange 2 on its edge to raise the base above the level of the table top A, and a central upstanding boss 3. The platform 4 of the selfserving tray is revolubly mounted on the boss 3 by means of a pivot pin or bolt 5 secured centrally through the boss 3, it being understood that the platform is designed to hold the articles of food, condiments, etc., for the use of the diners. A
A separator disk 6 is interposed between the base 1 and platform 4. and is provided 40 with a lurality of openings 7 adjacent the outer e ge of the disk, 8 indicating down wardly extending anges surrounding the openings 9 indicates spherical bearing members contained within the openings 7 and ,engaging the flanges 8 and the contiguous surfaces of the base 1 and platform 4 and serve to prevent frctional contact between A said contiguous surfaces. Thelcentral portion of the disk 6 is p( ovided with an offset 10 to admit of the bac portion of the disk being located practically midway between the contiguous surfaces of the platform 4 and the base 1, said disk being rotatably mounted around the pivot pin 5.
In use, it will be apparent that the device may be readily seated upon the dining table when it is desired to put it into use and may be as readily removed therefrom, 'and when in use, the diners may readily secure any article of food or condiment that may be on the platform 4 without disturbing his neighbor diner.
What is claimed is A self-serving tray for tables, comprising a base adapted to seat on a table, an upstanding spherical boss in said base and recessed on its under side, a disk formed of sheet metal and having an offset portion centrally thereof seated on said boss, said disk provided with a plurality of openings, anti-friction bear- I0 ing members in said openings and bearing on the base, the sheet metal forming the disk being bent to form a flange around each of said openings to enclose the anti-friction bearings, a platform supported on said offset portion and said bearing members, and a securing member engaging through alined openings in the platform, the offset portion and the boss and permitting rotation of the platform and disk relatively to the base. 30 In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
