ABSTRACT:
A plate (1) for carrying at the same time a combination of food (29), condiments (30), beverage container (3), knapkin/towelettes (9) or other items having a plurality of different shaped recesses in a top surface (25) and a hand sleeve on a bottom surface (24) into which one hand (12) can be inserted for carrying purposes. The food and condiment (2, 4, 5, 7 & 14) recesses may be arranged symmetrically around a central recess (23) for better balance. The central recess (23) may have a ridge (6) around its circumference to more firmly hold a beverage container (3) and keep it from tipping. A substantially horseshoe-shaped hand sleeve (26) on the bottom surface (24) is designed so that the plate (1) can be carried in one hand (12) by either a left or right-handed person. The horseshoe-shaped sleeve (26) has a flat base attached to the bottom surface (24) at each leg (31a & 3b) by a pillar (8 &15) which fits between a thumb (18) and first index finger (27), a support (20a & 20b) on a backside of each leg to contain the fingers of the hand and a wedge (16) in the middle of the back portion to fit between the second and third index finger (19 & 32) for better balance. The bottom surface (24) may be convex shaped to better fit within a palm of the hand and to enable the recesses on the top surface of the plate to be made deeper to hold more food, condiments and other items.
