  • Patent number: 5427292
    Abstract: A tray for use by both children and adults while traveling in an automobile has a box-like frame and is supported by hinged panel legs. The box-like frame has a food serving surface on one side, a smooth desk surface on the opposite side, and a storage compartment within the box-like frame. A hinged door provides access to the storage compartment. The tray is placed over the legs of a user and secured to the user's seat belt. The hinged panel legs may be rotated 180 degrees to allow the tray to be used as a food tray in the normal position and as a desk when the box frame is inverted. In an alternative embodiment, the tray includes a food serving surface supported by hinged legs which may fold under the food serving surface for storage. A storage bag, which may be attached to the back of a passenger seat, provides for convenient storage of the folded tray.
