ABSTRACT:
A service tray for holding food and drink which can be held in one hand. The tray has a bottom which defines an arcuate gripping edge along a portion of the periphery of the tray bottom. The edge is dimensioned to permit a user of the tray to grasp a beverage container between the thumb and index finger of one hand of the user. The user's remaining fingers support the underside surface of the tray bottom which thereby enables the user to firmly grip the tray. The tray is also provided with an upwardly extending C-shaped sidewall which bounds and adjoins the remaining portion of the tray bottom's periphery. The sidewall serves to prevent articles having been placed on the tray from sliding off of the tray. Construction of the tray is such that it can be manufactured in one step without subsequent machining or cutting steps.
