MODULAR TRAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032686 titled 'MODULAR TRAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a modular tray system that can be used to support various items either in a free-standing orientation or by attaching it to a chair. The system includes a tray with connecting features and one or more supporting features such as support rods or a support throne.

  • The modular tray system supports items in a versatile manner, allowing them to be placed either on a flat surface or attached to a chair.
  • The tray consists of a tray member, a base member, an upper surface, a lower surface, and connecting features.
  • The supporting features, such as support rods or a support throne, have complementary connecting features that can securely attach to the tray.
  • The system provides stability and support for items placed on the tray, preventing them from falling or tipping over.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Assisting individuals with limited mobility by providing a stable surface for holding items within reach.
  • Enhancing the functionality of chairs by adding a tray for holding drinks, snacks, or electronic devices.
  • Supporting items in various settings such as offices, hospitals, or homes.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Lack of a stable surface for holding items in a convenient and accessible manner.
  • Difficulty in finding a suitable place to keep items within reach.
  • Potential risk of items falling or tipping over due to unstable surfaces.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Versatile and adaptable design allows for various applications and configurations.
  • Provides a stable and secure surface for holding items, reducing the risk of accidents.
  • Easy to attach and detach from a chair or other supporting structures.
  • Can be used in different environments and settings.


Original Abstract Submitted

modular tray systems and methods of using the modular tray systems to support a variety of items either in a free-standing orientation or by securing the modular tray system to a chair. such a modular tray system includes a tray and one or more features for supporting the tray with or from the supporting structure. the tray has a tray member, a base member connected to the tray member, an upper surface, a lower surface, and first and second connecting features defined in, respectively, the tray member and the base member at the lower surface of the tray. the supporting features include at least one of a support rod and a support throne that have third connecting features that are complementary to each of the first and second connecting features of the tray.
