Abstract
An article supporting device includes a tray for receiving articles to be supported by the device, an arm having one end secured to one side of the tray and extending longitudinally of the tray at the one side thereof; and a crossbar connected at one end to the opposite end of the arm. The crossbar extends substantially perpendicularly to the arm across the width of the tray with the opposite end of the crossbar spaced from the opposite side of the tray to define a space for the application of the device to the body of a person, thereby enabling the person to support the tray by the person's body alone and without the use of the person's hands.
