  • Patent number: 5542346
    Abstract: A crumb collection tray to be placed underneath a conventional toaster after first removing its trap door, therefore allowing all crumbs to drop into the collection tray. After toasting, a simple dumping of the tray in the sink disposes of all crumbs in one simple act. The tray is equipped with a handle, a foot, and wheels which allow ease in mobility and prevent the counter from becoming scratched by otherwise dragging the crumb collection tray across the counter top. The crumb collection tray allows for easy cleaning after every use, disposing of crumbs that would otherwise attract bugs.
