Description

Patented J une 18, p 1929.
JOSEPH iranmrcns.,4 or. Nnw YORK, N. Y.
COMBINED COVER AND TRAY FOB RECEPTACLES.
Application led December 31, 1926. Serial No..158,324.
This invent-ion relates to receptacles or containers and comprehends a combined cover and tray therefor which is adapted to be selectively fitted over or under the receptacle to serve in its dual capacity. vMore specifically the invention contemplates a combined cover and tray for receptacles or containers having an upper open end, which cover and tray is formed withacentrally offset portion defining, re-
spectively, a depression in the upper face to snugly receive the receptacle and a projection on the under face to fit within the upper open end of the receptacle.
As a further object the invention aims 'to provide a ycombined cover and tray which in addition to performing the functions mentioned, also allows for the stacking and nesting of a plurality of receptacles having combinedv covers and trays of the character` set forth. A
The invention still further aims to provide a combined cover and tray for receptacles which embodies the features of sim- 25. plicity of construction, economy, of production and eiliciency of purpose.
With the above recited and other objects in view, reference is had to the following specication and accompanying drawings yin which there is exhibited one example or embodiment of the invention which is in no .way intended as a limitation upon the scope of the appended claims as it is to be clearly understood that variations and modiications which properly fall within theI scope of said claims may be resorted to when found expedient.
In the drawings- Figure 1 is a plan view of the. combi-ned cover and tray arranged on the upper open end of a receptacle to serve in the capacity of a cover; Y n
Fig. 2 is a sectional view thereof taken approximately on the line 2- 2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a similar sectional view with the combined cover and tray arranged on the under side of the receptacle and employed in the capacity of a tray, the broken lines indicating the manner in which a number of the rece tacles with the combined covers and trays o the type set forth-may be nested in superimposed relation upon each other.
v er with the offset the upper surface and a projection 17 on the f.
under surface. The outer edge of the combined cover and tray 14 is formed with a marginal depending flange 18, which togethportion defines a marginal depression 19 on the under surface. l
.In use, the, member 14 lits over the upper open end of the receptacle or container body 1.0, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, and consttutes a cover. In this position, the marginal depression receives the flanged upper end of theI receptacle body while the o'set portion 15 extends partially within the body. The depending marginal flange 18 extends around the flange 13. When itis desired to use the member 14 as 'a tray, the bottom 11 of the receptacle which is ot' an appropriate size and configuration, fits within the upper depression 16 defined by the offset 15. In instances where it is desired to stack or nest a plurality of vessels with combined covers and trays of the .type set forth, it is obvious that this may be accomplished in the manner illustrated in broken lines in Fig. 3.
Another advantage of this invention will be apparent in that the cover. trays are adapted to be nested or stacked with othersof the same size and shape and that the receptacles are also adapted to be nested so that little space is occupied when not in use. This feature` is of great importance particularly for hotel uses.
What is claimed is:
1. The combination with an open receptacle, of a combined cover and tray having a depression of less depththan the height of` said receptacle and \of a size to be received Within the ,receptacle walls, said depression also being of a'size to receive the bottom portion of the receptacle therein,` said cover-tray being provided'witha marginal portion having a` depending flangepositioned to center fthe cover-tray over said receptacle, said de.-
ending flange being i epr'esslon tray from 5 cle,
depression said receptacle and of a slze within the receptacle being of'a of less depth than said to facilitate picking up said covera flat surface.
The combination with an open receptaof. a combined cover and tray having a of less depth than the height of to be received walls, said depression sizeto receive the bottom portion 10'l of the receptacle therein, said cover tray heing provided with a marginal portion having cover tray over JOSEPH HEINRCHS.y
