ABSTRACT:
A universally attachable tray assembly adapted to be secured to table edges of various configurations including on the surface thereof a set of instructions regarding a particular card game, chip recesses for storing betting chips and a drink recess. The underside of the tray is provided with an orthogonal mounting surface arranged as a rectangular strip extending transversely across the tray bottom, the rectangular strip including a plurality of vertical slots formed therein for receiving securing fixtures. The vertical slots are separated by a dimension equal to the dimension separating a plurality of screw holes and slots formed in the surfaces of an angulated mounting bracket which may thus be secured in any angular arrangement to adapt to the edge configuration of the table. Included furthermore in the mounting bracket and offset from the screw holes therein are two spacer blocks, once more including the requisite fastener openings, the spacer block providing the desired separation of the mounting bracket to adapt to their regular edge shapes. In this manner the mounting bracket may be attached to the tray by wing nuts or similar attaching devices in any of its many attaching modes to conform to the various edge shapes normally found in card tables.
