Publication number: 20030111878Abstract: An adjustable serving tray mainly includes an anchor apparatus located on armrests at two sides of a stroller. Each armrest has an inner side with a retaining flute formed thereon. The serving tray has coupling sections on two sides, each with an anchor trough and a latch lug. In normal usage conditions, the anchor trough engages with the anchor apparatus and the latch lug is latched in the retaining flute to anchor the serving tray. By releasing the anchor apparatus, the serving tray may be slid forwards to form a larger entrance space on the stroller to seat a child. Thus the child may be seated on the rear seat without removing the serving tray to improve convenience of use.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2002Publication date: June 19, 2003Inventors: Huang-Yi Cheng, Mao-Shen Chen, Tse-Chien Wu
