DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0077] Apparatus and methods may enable mounting of a tote tray under a tabletop. Apparatus and methods may apply to any suitable heavy-duty table. Apparatus and methods may apply to any table that does not have a tote tray holder. Apparatus and methods may enable mounting of a tote tray in any way desired by a customer.

[0078] Apparatus and methods may enable mounting of a tote tray that may hold more weight than a plastic tote tray. Apparatus and methods may enable mounting a tote tray holding a tray level when pulled out until about 2 inches before the end of the tote tray.

[0079] Apparatus and methods may include a design of tote tray holder detents. The tote tray holder detents may be in the form of c-shaped detents. C-shaped detents are bent structures having at least three sides (e.g., a top side, bottom side, and right or left side).

[0080] Apparatus and methods may allow for no plastic in the tote tray holder. Apparatus and methods may allow for only plastic in the tote tray.

[0081] Apparatus and methods may include a tote tray holder made of one piece of material. Apparatus and methods may include a tote tray made of one piece of material.

[0082] Apparatus and methods may enable the tote tray to be pulled almost completely out of the tote tray holder, preventing the tote tray from falling out of the tote tray holder. Apparatus and methods may enable the tote tray holder to be mounted adjacent to the apron. Because the apron may be about 6 mm in depth, the tote tray may be pulled out without being blocked by the apron, as it would be blocked by the apron in a conventional heavy-duty table.

[0083] Apparatus and methods described herein are illustrative. Apparatus and methods in accordance with this disclosure will now be described in connection with the figures, which form a part hereof. The figures show illustrative features of apparatus and method steps in accordance with the principles of this disclosure. It is understood that other embodiments may be utilized, and that structural, functional, and procedural modifications may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure.

[0084] Aspects of the disclosure relate to a tote tray holder and/or associated support mechanisms. A support mechanism may support the tote tray holder and facilitate insertion and removal of a tote tray from the tote tray holder.
