  • Patent number: 5848712
    Abstract: A serving tray adapted for use with a table having a table surface. The tray includes a generally planar tray member with an aperture located in a central portion thereof. An elevational member is affixed to, and extends downwardly from, the tray member. The elevational member includes a central bore in substantially coaxial alignment with the aperture in the tray member, and is adapted and constructed to be secured to the table surface. The elevational member is of sufficient height to allow relatively unimpeded use of the table surface beneath the tray member when the elevational member is secured to the table surface. The aperture and the bore can be adapted to receive an umbrella pole, and both the tray and the elevational member are rotatable around the umbrella pole.
