Personal foldable server tray apparatus

A personal foldable serving tray apparatus, comprising in combination:

• a first tray component comprising a first curved edge portion and a first straight edge portion, the first tray component connected with one or more hinged components to a second tray component comprising a second curved edge portion and a second straight edge portion,
• the first tray component and the second tray component comprising a specific size and shape for fitting into a pocket of a serving clothing garment when in a closed, folded configuration and for providing a flat serving surface when in an open, unfolded configuration;
• the first tray component further comprising a first raised rim portion component on a first top surface of the first curved edge portion extending upward therefrom to a pre-determined height and width, to prevent items from sliding off the first top surface of the first tray component,
• the first tray component further comprising a first handle component on a first bottom surface of the first tray component, the first handle component allowing the apparatus to be grasped from the first bottom surface of the apparatus, the first handle component extending downward from the first bottom surface another pre-determined distance and providing a first tray stand portion for the apparatus when the apparatus is placed on a flat surface, thereby elevating the apparatus above the flat surface,
• the first tray component further comprising a first channel component portion on the first bottom surface of the first tray component, the first channel component including first grooved channels on opposite sides of the first channel component for accepting a first portion of a sliding component to securely lock the first tray component to the second tray component in the open, unfolded configuration and preventing folding of the apparatus when the apparatus is in the open, unfolded configuration,
• the first tray component further comprising one or more first hinged components, a first portion of the one or more first hinged components connected to the first straight edge portion of the first tray component and a second portion of the one or more first hinged components connected to the second straight edge portion of the second tray component, the one or more first hinged components allowing the first tray component to be folded on top of the second tray component or visa-versa, when the apparatus is in the closed, folded configuration, and
• the first tray component further comprising a first grasping component attached to the first curved edge portion of the first tray component and extending outward therefrom, allowing grasping and lifting of the first tray component from the second tray component when the apparatus is in the closed, folded configuration;
• the second tray component further comprising a second raised rim portion component on a second top surface of the second curved edge portion extending upward therefrom to the pre-determined height and width, to prevent items from sliding off the top surface of the second tray component,
• the second tray component further comprising a second handle component on a second bottom surface of the second tray component, the second handle component allowing the apparatus to be grasped from the second bottom surface of the apparatus, the second handle component extending downward from the second bottom surface the another pre-determined distance and providing a second tray stand portion for the apparatus when the apparatus is placed on the flat surface, thereby elevating the apparatus above the flat surface,
• the second tray component further comprising a second channel component portion on the second bottom surface of the second tray component, the second channel component including second grooved channels on opposite sides of the second channel component for accepting a second portion of the sliding component to securely lock the second tray component to the first tray component in the open, unfolded configuration and preventing folding of the apparatus when the apparatus is in the open, unfolded configuration, and
• the second channel component portion providing storage of the sliding component within the second bottom surface of the second tray component when the apparatus is in the closed, folded configuration;
• the second tray component further comprising one or more second hinged components, a first portion of the one or more second hinged components connected to the second straight edge portion of the second tray component and the one or more second hinged components connected to the first straight edge portion of the first tray component, the one or more second hinged components allowing the second tray component to be folded on top of the first tray component or visa-versa, when the apparatus is in the closed, folded configuration,
• the second tray component further comprising a second grasping component attached to the second curved edge portion of the second tray component and extending outward therefrom, allowing grasping and lifting of the second tray component from the first tray component when the apparatus is in the closed, folded configuration;
• the sliding component comprising a flat rectangular component of a pre-determined width and thickness to fit within the first grooved channels of the first channel component on the first bottom surface of the first tray component and the second grooved channels of the second channel component on the second bottom surface of the second tray component,
• the sliding component moveable forwards and backwards within the first grooved channels of the first channel component on the first bottom surface of the first tray component and the second grooved channels of the second channel component on the second bottom surface of the second tray component and preventing folding of the apparatus when the first portion of the sliding component is within first channel component on the first bottom surface of the first tray component and the second portion of the sliding component is within the second channel component on the second bottom surface of the second tray component and the apparatus is in the open, unfolded configuration, and
• the sliding component further including a circular opening on one end portion of the sliding component for grasping and sliding the sliding component forwards and backwards within the first channel component on first bottom surface of the first tray component and the second channel component on the second bottom surface of the second tray component, to lock the apparatus in the open, unfolded configuration and unlock the apparatus for storing in the closed, folded configuration;
• and
• an electronic location component attached to the first bottom surface or the second bottom surface of the apparatus, the electronic location component including a wireless component with one or more processors, a non-transitory computer readable medium and receivers or transceivers, allowing a physical location of the apparatus to be tracked and determined by another network device with one or more processors via a wireless communications network within a physical space.
