Abstract

A tray is adapted for use as a protective and organizational device in vehicles. The tray is comprised of bottom and side wall portions, the side wall portions rising above the perimeter of the bottom portion forming an opening into the tray. A separating organizer is provided having spaced apart vertical support members which support a horizontal support member. The horizontal support member has a plurality of extending separation arms which are used to abut and support a transported container, thereby resisting any tendency the container may have to tip. A protective tray is also provided which is supported by the tailgate or side wall of a pick-up truck. A cover is provided over the opening of the tray, eliminating any contact between outside elements and the contents of the tray.
