Abstract
A hanging tray for use on a gaming table having a raised rail, a table top and a junction between the rail and the table top is described. The hanging tray includes a main tray, a vertical support section hingedly coupled to the main tray section and movable between a collapsed position and a deployed position. A rail section is hingedly coupled to the vertical support section and is movable between a collapsed position and a deployed position. An engagement member extends from the end of the rail section for engagement with the junction, anchoring the rail section over the rail.
Claims22
A hanging tray for use on a gaming table having a raised rail, a table top and a junction between the rail and the table top, the hanging tray comprising:
- a main tray section having a tray surface, opposing sides, a back side and a front;
- a vertical support section having a top edge and a bottom edge, the bottom edge hingedly coupled to the back side of the main tray section by a first hinge structure, the vertical support section movable between a collapsed position, overlying the tray surface and bounded by the opposing sides and the front, and a deployed position, wherein the vertical support section is positioned at an angle substantially perpendicular to the main tray section;
- a rail section for overlying the rail and having an end and an opposing end, the end of the rail section hingedly coupled to the top edge of the vertical support section by a second hinge structure and movable between a collapsed position, overlying the vertical support section and bounded by the opposing sides and the front, and a deployed position wherein the rail section is positioned at an angle substantially perpendicular to the vertical support section and generally parallel to the main tray section;
- and
- an engagement member extending from the end of the rail section for engagement with the junction, anchoring the rail section over the rail.
A hanging tray as claimed in claim 7 wherein the peripheral section include a cup holder in the extended position.
A hanging tray comprising:
- a gaming table having a raised rail, a table top and a junction between the rail and the table top;
- a main tray section having a tray surface, opposing sides, a back side and a front;
- a vertical support section having a top edge and a bottom edge, the bottom edge hingedly coupled to the back side of the main tray section by a first hinge structure, the vertical support section movable between a collapsed position, overlying the tray surface and bounded by the opposing sides and the front, and a deployed position, wherein the vertical support section is positioned at an angle substantially perpendicular to the main tray section;
- a rail section overlying the rail and having an end and an opposing end, the end of the rail section hingedly coupled to the top edge of the vertical support section by a second hinge structure and movable between a collapsed position, overlying the vertical support section and bounded by the opposing sides and the front, and a deployed position wherein the rail section is positioned at an angle substantially perpendicular to the vertical support section and generally parallel to the main tray section;
- and
- an engagement member extending from the end of the rail section engaged with the junction, anchoring the rail section over the rail.
A rail sleeve for use on a gaming table having a raised rail, a table top and a junction between the rail and the table top, the rail sleeve comprising:
- a rail section for overlying the rail and having an end and an opposing end;
- an engagement member extending from the end of the rail section for engagement with the junction, anchoring the rail section over the rail;
- and
- a depending member extending from the opposing end of the rail section.
- an indicia display carried by the rail section.
