A forearm tray for carrying heated objects. The forearm tray has a wrist notch dimensioned and adapted so that when strapped to a forearm of a user, the wearer can bend their wrist and hand upward as normal. The forearm tray may have a non-slip platform for balancing the heated objects. Between the platform and the forearm of the user is a baseplate so that the heat of the heated objects can not burn or hurt the wearer. The forearm tray may be removably strapped to the forearm so that when not in use, the present invention can be conveniently stored in a waiter's apron pocket.

A food serving tray cover system that is removably attachable to various food serving trays to form an enclosure wherein the contents of the enclosure will be protected from pests such as birds and insects. The collapsible food serving tray cover system includes an elongated bracket having a U-shape and defining a channel therein that can removably secure a serving tray. A covering assembly including canvas-like material is attached at regular intervals to support ribs which are pivotally connected on the arms of the U-shaped bracket. The covering assembly is deployable such that the canvas material and support ribs move radially along the pivotal connection in a 180-degree manner to form an interior volume over an attached serving tray. A handle provides a gripping area that allows for selective closing and opening of the food serving tray cover system.

Modular tray and methods of using the modular tray to support various items by securing the modular tray to a structure in a cantilevered-type arrangement. The modular tray may include one or more of a junction member, a tray member, a cover member, a cylinder member, and a clamping unit. The modular tray can be secured to a structure with the clamping unit or the cylinder member so that one or more of the junction member, tray member, and cylinder member are cantilevered from the structure.

This invention is an inexpensive beverage niche for a system to manage food and drink. Provided as a separate entity for attachment, this is a new concept. Affixed to a food tray or paper food boat, it helps secure a beverage container such as a beer tasting glass from sliding, tipping, and contacting with food also carried on the tray. The invention's attachable beverage niche facilitates carrying food and drink in one hand, while releasing the other hand from any obligation to continuously hold a drink container.

Systems and methods for operating a stand. The methods comprising: obtaining the stand comprising a stem member with a first coupler disposed at a proximal end thereof and a support member disposed at a distal end thereof; rotating a support member of the stand in a first direction relative to the stem member to transition the support member from a collapsed position in which the support member extends substantially parallel to the stem member to an extended position in which the support member extends substantially perpendicular to the stem member; attaching the stand to a first external object; suspending a second external object above the first external object using the support member in the extended position; and detaching the stand from the first external object by causing the planar portion of the first external object to slid out of the insert space of the first external object.

Tray utensils of identical dimensions are stacked into an assembly and wrapped within a transparent package displaying a visual image of a tray utensil holding within a tray receptacle a standard beverage can upright generally vertically while the tray is oriented generally horizontally and used to hold selected hors d'oeuvres.

A medical device to protect against harmful germs on shared surfaces by covering the shared surfaces to isolate the germs from individuals contacting the surfaces. The device may be utilized in public places (e.g., food establishments, classrooms, movie theaters) and public transportation (e.g., planes, trains, bus) to cover trays, desks and/or monitors that may be touched by many individuals. The device may be a system that includes one or more covers where the covers may be reusable, disposable or a combination thereof. The covers may be made from a material or combination of materials that provide at least a subset of stretchable, washable, antibacterial, durable, water-proof/water-resistant and non-slip properties. A reusable cover may include a means for securing the cover to the surface (e.g., draw strings, connectors). A disposable cover may be a film that has clinging properties when stretched.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a beverage serving tray capable of coupling multiple beverage serving trays to increase overall beverage capacity of the resulting coupled beverage serving tray. The beverage serving tray is capable of stacking with other beverage serving trays in an efficient and space saving fashion or may be stored preloaded with beverage vessels for quick and efficient preparation prior to serving. The beverage serving tray comprises a main body having a top member and bottom member, and at least one joining member joining the bottom surface to the top member. The top member includes beverage openings to accept beverages, as well as to couple additional beverage serving trays to increase beverage capacity. Multiple beverage serving trays may be coupled together by inserting beverages through aligned beverage openings of adjacent beverage serving trays in order to form a modular beverage serving tray with an increased overall carrying capacity.

A food tray having a bottom wall and a sidewall extending from the base, wherein the base and the sidewall form a food storage area. The food tray further includes a first liner overlaying at least a portion of the food storage area and a second liner disposed between the first liner and at least a portion of the bottom wall, the second liner covering at least a portion of the food storage area. The first liner includes a tab with an identifier thereon and the second liner includes a tab with an identifier thereon different from the identifier of the first liner.

An apparatus includes a venue seat, a liner, and a cover. The venue seat has an outward appearance that is viewable by an observer. The liner has a liner surface on which a liner image is formed on the liner surface. The liner is positioned on the venue seat with the liner image facing outwardly. The liner image changes the outward appearance of the venue seat once the liner is positioned on the venue seat with the liner image facing outwardly. The cover is fixedly positioned on, and covering, the liner image of the liner. The cover protects the liner image of the liner once the cover is positioned on the liner image.
