A serving tray holder that provides stability to a serving tray and provides comfort to the user.

A serving tray comprises a top side and a bottom side generally parallel to each other and a periphery. The top side is arranged for supporting objects on the tray and the bottom side for carrying the tray by hand. The tray has a center of gravity and an axis extending substantially perpendicular through it. The bottom side has a relief comprising first and second gripping structures each generally surrounding the axis, and being recessed and providing a first and second radially inner gripping surface, respectively, and being arranged such that sections of the first and second inner gripping surfaces are located diametrically opposite each other at first and second radial distances with respect to the axis, respectively, and such that in plural azimuthal positions around the axis the ratios of the first and second radial distances of the respective opposite sections are equal.

A tray comprises a base board portion, first to sixth side wall portions, and a first cupholder portion. The side wall portion extends vertically from the base board portion. Each of the two fifth side wall portions is extended from a side edge of the second side wall portion, bent vertically, and disposed so as to overlap and fixed with a part of the first or third side wall portion, forming first and second corners. Likewise, the two sixth side wall portions are provided. The first cupholder portion is disposed at the first corner between the first and second side wall portions, and comprises a horizontal cut-out over the second side wall portion and the fifth side wall portion, which is pushed inwards forming a cupholding space. The horizontal cut-out of the first cupholder portion is disposed through a middle high portion of the first corner.

A holder includes a generally tubular body with upper and lower ends. The body is downwardly-open at the lower and is configured for receiving a beverage container. An extension is mounted on and extends laterally from the body. The extension is configured for supporting various objects.

A tray, platter or carrying structure may include a substantially flat lower surface or panel, a substantially flat upper surface or panel, a first set of side walls extending between the lower surface or panel and the upper surface, and a second set of side walls extending upward from the lower surface. The first and second set of side walls may form, with the lower surface, a compartment for carrying for example drinks, food or other items. The first set of side walls may form with the upper surface an inset for a user to insert a hand to hold the tray. A grip may extend down from or be connected to the upper surface into the inset. A bar may extend from one side wall to another side wall to form an opening surrounded by the bar, two side walls, and the upper surface.

A food handling device includes a holder having an interior chamber extending along a longitudinal axis, and an extension housing detachably mounted on the holder and having an interior compartment for receiving and for holding the foodstuff. A pusher is mounted in the chamber for axial movement. An actuator axially moves the pusher through the chamber and through the compartment into contact with the foodstuff, and incrementally feeds a continuously variable quantity of the foodstuff along the longitudinal axis through the opening directly into a user's mouth to enable the foodstuff to be eaten bite-by-bite in a sanitary manner without using eating accessories, such as plates and/or utensils, and without the user's hands directly touching and contaminating the foodstuff, thereby preventing the spread of disease.

Trays are designed to allow an individual to carry their food on a tray where the individual has complete control of the tray with one hand. The tray can be customized for a particular food vendor's menu. At the same time, the tray allows for advertising information on the front view. The tray is constructed for a one time use and therefore is made from a thin plastic or cardboard.

A plate caddy enables a user to carry up to two (2) dining plates using a single hand, while going through a buffet line, thereby providing a free hand to allow additional servicing of the user. The caddy includes a handle which is strapped securely to the user's hand, and a plurality of extended arms which act to support the plates while also securing the edge portions of the plates. The arms are adjustable to hold differently sized and shaped dinner plates, dessert plates, soup bowls, salad plates, and the like. The caddy may be quickly removed from the user's hand when desired.

A food handling device for use in eating a foodstuff, includes a holder and a movable member supported by the holder for longitudinal or rotational movement relative to the holder by a user. The movable member engages the foodstuff. Multiple food handling devices may be mounted on a serving platter of a food service assembly.

A serving tray assembly includes a platform, a spacer coupled to the platform, at least one metallic element coupled to the spacer, and a handling subassembly releasably coupleable to the spacer and comprising a pole orthogonal to the platform, a support ring coupled to the pole, and at least one magnetic element coupled to the support ring, the at least one magnetic element being aligned with and magnetically coupleable to the at least one metallic element.
