Abstract
A multifunctional tray includes a portable tray housing that defines a beverage receptacle. The beverage receptacle can be selectively heated by a thermal element mounted within the tray housing. A control panel mounted to the tray housing can be used to control the heating function of the thermal element by selectively energizing the thermal element with a power source. Optionally, the tray is selectively attachable to a personal mobility device via a pair of attachment elements mounted at opposing ends of the tray housing. The tray may also include wireless connectivity capabilities that allow a user to play music and other audio entertainment from a portable electronic device through a speaker that is mounted to the tray housing.

A multifunctional tray attachable to a personal mobility device, said multifunctional tray comprising:
- a portable tray housing comprising a beverage receptacle;
- a thermal assembly mounted within said portable tray housing and comprising a thermal element mounted at said beverage receptacle;
- a power source configured to energize said thermal element;
- and
- a control panel mounted to said portable tray housing and operable to control the temperature of said thermal element by selectively energizing said thermal element with said power source.
A multifunctional tray attachable to a personal mobility device, said multifunctional tray comprising:
- a tray housing comprising a beverage receptacle and a pair of attachment elements at opposite end portions of said tray housing;
- a thermal assembly mounted within said tray housing and comprising a thermal element mounted at said beverage receptacle;
- a rechargeable battery mounted within said tray housing and configured to energize said thermal element;
- a control panel operable to control the temperature of said thermal element by selectively energizing said thermal element with said rechargeable battery;
- and
- an electrical port mounted to said tray housing and in electrical communication with said rechargeable battery, and connectable to a portable electronic device;
- and
- wherein said attachment elements are operable to selectively attach to and detach from respective portions of the personal mobility device.
