ABSTRACT:
SCOPE OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a portable tray for placement atop a conventional oil drain barrel assembly including a telescoping drain pan and more particularly to such a tray in which the same has been manufactured as three separate but interchangeable sectors that are each preferably formed by a plastic extrusion process and then assembled together using conventional fasteners, such as nut-bolt combinations about the top edge of such drain barrel assembly. Result: the tray is exceedingly convenient for stowing tools and fasteners associated with conventional oil draining operations but can be retrofitted for use with any conventional oil drain assembly irrespective of the diameter of the drain pan thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The prior art is replete with trays for used in the automobile industry but I am unaware of a sectored tray that can be retrofitted for use with any conventional oil drain assembly irrespective of the diameter of the drain pan thereof.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a portable tray for placement atop a conventional oil drain barrel assembly in which the tray comprises three separate but interchangeable sector elements that are each preferably formed by a plastic extrusion process, disconnectably connected to each other using conventional fasteners, such as nut-bolt combinations, about the top edge of such drain barrel assembly. Result: the tray is exceedingly convenient for stowing tools and fasteners associated with conventional oil draining operations but can be retrofitted for use with any conventional oil drain assembly irrespective of the diameter of its drain pan.
