Abstract
A food serving tray cover system that is removably attachable to various food serving trays to form an enclosure wherein the contents of the enclosure will be protected from pests such as birds and insects. The collapsible food serving tray cover system includes an elongated bracket having a U-shape and defining a channel therein that can removably secure a serving tray. A covering assembly including canvas-like material is attached at regular intervals to support ribs which are pivotally connected on the arms of the U-shaped bracket. The covering assembly is deployable such that the canvas material and support ribs move radially along the pivotal connection in a 180-degree manner to form an interior volume over an attached serving tray. A handle provides a gripping area that allows for selective closing and opening of the food serving tray cover system.
