Abstract:

A tray assembly uniquely configured to be removably attached to a chair armrest such as that of a beauty salon includes a U-shaped clamp having a pair of parallel sidewalls and an end wall therebetween. A sidewall has an aperture for threadedly receiving a bolt allowing the clamp to be quickly attached to the chair arm rest. The opposing sidewall and the end wall each have an elongated, substantially wedge shaped groove for slidably receiving a tongue on the accompanying tray member. The tray member includes a substantially rectangular support surface having four peripheral edges with an elongated portion integrally extending from an edge thereof. On the upper side of the support surface is a substantially rectangular recessed portion with one or more beverage receptacles therein. The lower side has an elongated, wedge shaped tongue slidably received within either of the grooves on the clamp. The beverage receptacles have one or more freezable gel packs removably received therein for maintaining a beverage at a substantially constant temperature.
