Hygienic trays adapted to effectively restrain items under hygienic conditions are provided by equipping hygienic trays with an antipathogenic, cohesive and adhesive thermoset overlay provided in the form of an adhesive insert or tray coating. The overlay adhesively restrains emplaced items until manually removed from the overlay by the hygienic user while also providing an unexpected superior antipathogenic environment. The hygienic trays are particularly useful from hygienic applications wherein hygienic conditions and a need to stabilize trayed items against displacement are of a dominant concern. The tray may be of a simple platform design with or without a typical bordering rim which may be adapted for hand carriage or mounted onto another supportive structure.
A hygienic tray equipped to restrain an emplaced item at a stabilizing stowable position until manually removed therefrom, wherein the hygienic tray comprises a supportive base having an antipathogenic, cohesive and adhesive thermoset viscoelastomeric overlay bonded to the supportive base.
A method for manufacturing a hygienic platform adapted to retard pathogenic growth and restrain a stowed item in contact therewith, said method comprising:
A hygienic tray combination having a supportive base supportive of hygienic items emplaced thereupon, comprising an antipathogenic cohesive and adhesive thermoset viscoelastomeric overlay disposed upon the supportive base and having sufficient adhesiveness to restrain the emplaced items at a desired stabilized position while also allowing for a release of the emplaced items from the overlay by applying a sufficient counteracting force to separate the emplaced items from the overlay, wherein the overlay cohesively separates from the hygienic items without leaving more than trace amounts of the overlay upon the items separated therefrom while the overlay remains firmly bonded to the supportive base upon the separation of the hygienic items therefrom.
A method of retrofitting a conventional hygienic tray so as to possess antipathogenic, cohesive and adhesive properties, said method comprising:
