  • Patent number: 5497885
    Abstract: A lap tray is disclosed for carrying food such as that available from a take-out or fast food restaurant. The lap tray has particular application for use by an individual wishing to consume the food carried on the tray while riding as a passenger in a motor vehicle that is subjected to the usual road turbulence. The lap tray includes a pair of food serving compartments, each of which is surrounded by a raised lip to prevent food carried thereon from falling off the tray. A raised annular rim surrounds a hole formed through the tray in which a drinking cup is received so as to retain the cup in an upright configuration and thereby prevent the cup from tipping and spilling its contents. A pair of legs depends from the tray at opposite sides thereof to extend downwardly along the legs of the user so as to stabilize the tray against lateral displacement when the user is seated and the tray is laid across the user's lap.
