Abstract
A tray system comprises a tray comprising a bottom portion and sides forming a volume in which junctures of the sides and the bottom portion are rounded to comprise convex exterior surfaces. The tray further comprises two loop members disposed on opposing ends of the tray. A connecting member is configured to removably join to a one of the loop members. A lead device is configured to removably join to the connecting member. The lead device is operable for transferring a motive force to the tray to transport the tray over an uneven terrain comprising obstacles in which the convex surfaces enable the tray to maneuver around or traverse the obstacles.
Claims20
A tray system comprising:
- a tray comprising a bottom portion and sides forming a volume in which junctures of said sides and said bottom portion are rounded to comprise convex exterior surfaces, said tray further comprising two loop members disposed on opposing ends of said tray;
- a connecting member being configured to removably join to a one of said loop members;
- and
- a lead device being configured to removably join to said connecting member, said lead device being operable for transferring a motive force to said tray to transport said tray over an uneven terrain comprising obstacles in which said convex surfaces enable said tray to maneuver around or traverse the obstacles.
A tray system comprising:
- a plurality of trays each comprising convex exterior surfaces, means being operable for securing trays in a stacked position, means being operable for securing an inverted tray in a cover position over another tray, and means for joining to opposing ends of each of said trays;
- means being configured for removably joining said trays to form a train of coupled trays;
- and
- means being operable for transferring a motive force to the train to transport the train over an uneven terrain comprising obstacles in which said convex surfaces enable the train to maneuver around or traverse the obstacles.
A tray system comprising:
- a plurality of trays each comprising a bottom portion and sides forming a volume in which junctures of said sides and said bottom portion are rounded to comprise convex exterior surfaces and concave interior surfaces, said bottom portion and said sides being configured to laterally retain items placed in said volume, each of said sides further comprising a lip structure being operable for securing trays in a stacked position, said trays each further comprising raised corners being operable for securing an inverted tray in a cover position over another tray, said trays each further comprising two loop members disposed on opposing ends of said tray;
- a plurality connecting member being configured to removably join to said loop members to form a train of coupled trays;
- and
- a lead device being configured to removably join to a connecting member removably joined to a loop member of a tray at an end of the train of coupled trays, said lead device being operable for transferring a motive force to the train to transport the train over an uneven terrain comprising obstacles in which said convex surfaces enable the train to maneuver around or traverse the obstacles.
