Definitions
- the invention relates to a serving tray with the plates, cutlery and drinking vessels required for standard catering.
- the object of the invention is to provide a serving tray which does not have the disadvantages described.
- a tray which is characterized in that it consists of a tray part with at least one integrally formed trough and a flap rotatably connected to the trough, which partially covers the trough or troughs and the tray part and in its opened end position opens the trough or troughs and represents an additional usable area.
- Fig. 2 the tray when opened
- Fig. 3 shows a section along III-III through the
- Fig. 4 the bottom view of a plate; F Fiigg .. 5 5 - - - 88 cutlery items and Fig. 9 - 10 drinking vessels.
- the serving tray consists of a fixed base part 1 and a flap 2 hinged to it.
- the base part 1 is divided into a flat rectangular tray part 3 with a bottom 4 and walls 5 surrounding three sides.
- the surface of the bottom 4 is with ribs 6 arranged in a grid Mistake.
- a trough 7 with an angular cross section and another trough 8 with a partially cylindrical cross section are formed on the fourth side of the tray part 3.
- the first trough 7 is separated from the tray part 3 by a wall 9 perpendicular to the floor, which is higher than the other walls 5.
- the trough 7 is delimited by an oblique wall 10 and on the two end faces by corresponding trapezoidal walls 11 .
- the subsequent round trough 8 has a fully circular shape
- End walls 12 The long upper edges of the two troughs 7, 8 and the upper edges of the end walls of the angular trough 7 lie in one plane. The circular end walls 12 of the round trough protrude beyond this level.
- the rotatably hinged flap 2 consists of a flat rectangular cover 13 and a hood 14 formed thereon on the longitudinal side with a partially cylindrical cross section and fully circular end walls 15.
- the hood 14 has an inner diameter which is slightly larger than that
- the hood 14 is rotatably attached to the round trough 8 by means of short pivot bolts 17 through the centers of the adjacent circular end walls. This rotatable fastening allows the flap 2 to be moved between the closed position shown in FIG. 1 and the open position shown in FIG. 2.
- the opening movement is limited by two stops: firstly, the outer edge of the hood abuts the inclined wall of the angular trough 7 and secondly, the flat lid 13 has two extensions protruding over the inner edge of the hood 14, which, when opened, on the outer edge of the round one Troughs 8 come to rest. This Stops are coordinated so that the lid 13 is horizontal when fully opened.
- the outer sides of the trough 8 and the hood 14 together form an approximately cylindrical surface which serves as a convenient handle for carrying the tray.
- the joint between the round trough 8 and the sloping wall of the angular trough 7 allows extensive reaching around this cylindrical gripping surface and thus a secure holding and carrying of the tray.
- the two outer edges of the trough and the hood are at a distance of about half a centimeter from one another in order to avoid the skin from pinching when worn.
- two cams 40 are provided which, when the flap 2 is closed, snap into corresponding recesses in the cover. This prevents the flap 2 from moving relative to the base part 1 when the tray is being carried.
- the two troughs 7, 8 are covered by the cover 13 and the hood 14 and thus form elongate closed chambers.
- the two troughs 7, 8 are open, and the cover 13 increases the usable area of the tray.
- FIG. 1 and 2 also show how the serving tray is equipped with plates, cutlery and drinking vessels.
- the equipment shown is only intended as an example and can be modified at any time.
- On the tray part 3 are two small plates 18, 19 and a large plate 20.
- the plates are rectangular and have grid-shaped grooves 21 on their underside which fit onto the ribs 6 and prevent the plates from slipping on the tray.
- the edges of the plates are so high that they lie in the plane that is ten of the two troughs is defined. In this way, when the plate arrangement shown in FIG. 1 is closed, the lid comes to lie over the two small plates and holds them firmly in place.
- the cutlery 22 is, as can be seen in FIG. 2, in the round trough 8. In this way, it is not necessary to pack the cutlery separately in a film envelope. After finishing the meal, the cutlery can be returned to one of the troughs and all waste, packaging parts etc. in the other trough. As a result, there is hardly any risk that such parts will fall off the tray when cleared and have to be collected separately afterwards.
- the cutlery 22 which consists of a knife 23, a fork 28, a tablespoon 31 and a teaspoon 32, is shaped in such a way that it can be used optimally with little space-consuming movements. In this sense, it can form a functional unit with the tray.
- the knife 23 has a blade 25 angled relative to the handle 24 by approximately 30 °. This makes it possible to carry out the cutting movement from the wrist without a large arm movement.
- the blade has sharpened cutting edges 26 on both sides so that it can be used with right and left hand.
- the handle 24 has an approximately triangular cross section so that the knife remains on the plate edge with the blade in the correct cutting position.
- the handle is provided on the inside with an ergonomic thumb recess 27 to make handling easier.
- a curved shape of the cutting edges serves the same purpose.
- the fork 28 has strongly curved teeth 29. As a result, the food items are impaled in the direction perpendicular to the tray, so that no lateral force acts on the plate that would cause it to slip. It also eliminates the need to operate the fork the wrist out without too much arm movement. Due to the curved shape, the fork is also particularly suitable for a scooping process.
- the handle has an ergonomic finger recess 30 on the back.
- the two spoons 31, 32 are shaped so that they can be used laterally to avoid larger arm movements.
- the small spoon 32 is angled so that it can be used more easily and without complex movement in narrow drinking vessels.
- a cup 33 especially suitable for the tray has an oval base 34 which, together with an ergonomically shaped handle 35, prevents the cup from rolling when it is lying.
- the shape of the handle allows precise handling of the cup.
- the bottom of the cup is provided with a circular elevation, the diameter of which corresponds to the grid dimension of the ribs 6, so that the cup is secured against slipping in a grid square, but can be rotated.
- a glass 36 especially suitable for the tray is asymmetrical and has a flattened rear side 37, on which the glass lies stable without rolling. In order to bring the center of gravity over the center of the foot 38, the axis of the glass is slightly inclined.
- Covers 39 are provided for the plates, which consist of a pleated or corrugated film. Due to the folds or waves, the covers are dimensionally stable against loads and can still be rolled up transversely to the folds or waves so that they can be supplied in one of the troughs.
