Abstract: An accessory tray for a stepladder comprises a generally rectangular panel having portions configured to extend about the front and sides of a stepladder. An upstanding lip is attached to the periphery edges of the tray, the lip having notches formed therein particularly adapted to secure the mounting clips and pan of a roller-type paint tray to the accessory tray. A clamping assembly is rigidly attached to the underside of the panel for mounting the tray to the fold-out shelf of a stepladder. The clamping assembly includes a clip member that presents a channel into which the fold-out shelf or other thin planar surface of the stepladder is secured. The position of the tray is maintained by a fastener which extends through the clip member into a friction fit relationship with the shelf.
