Description

Tray for food.

The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tray for food, whose purpose is to serve as a base or support for cardboard media and / or carrying food or drink.

State of the art

Currently in restaurants or bars of fast food or self-service, it is the user himself, in charge of choosing and carrying his own food, usually on plasticized trays (and whose design is based on a flat support that has a slight flange in its outer part), where food and / or drinks are placed without any type of support, which often causes its contents to be spilled or accidentally spilled during transport from the counter or place where it is received, to the table where the user intends to eat and / or drink the food covered in the tray.

The widespread use of these trays has caused a large number of solutions designed with different shapes to be implemented and where the most common ones usually have oval or rectangular contours. In other solutions there are cut or added handles with which to transport them. Some of these evolutions in the design of the tray, incorporate edges, handles and short legs to support them.

However, even with these edges raised, the risk of falling drinks is very high, so you have to take great precautions, keeping your balance at all times.

Description of the invention

The technical problem solved by the present invention is to implement a tray that allows the user thereof, to make a safe transport of the food elements arranged therein. For this, the tray for feeding, presented here, comprises an essentially rectangular flat body that has at least two holes on its surface both with a geometric profile adapted to the object to be transported, as well as a groove, where a vessel with solidarity drink, a cardboard stand full of food, such as pieces of breaded chicken or chips, and where a napkin is incorporated in its slot.

The tray for feeding presented here, is designed so that the user can comfortably transport it with one of their hands, thanks to its stability, which causes them to not have to worry because the elements that they transport can fall and also facilitates the user, can use your other hand, to open doors, move chairs, etc.

Throughout the description and the claims the word "comprises" and its variants are not intended to exclude other technical characteristics, additives, components or steps. For those skilled in the art, other objects, advantages and features of the invention will be derived partly from the description and partly from the practice of the invention. The following examples and drawings are provided by way of illustration, and are not intended to restrict the present invention. In addition, the present invention covers all possible combinations of particular and preferred embodiments indicated herein.
