Abstract

A food service tray for use in an automobile is supported on one end by an automobile seat, and is supported on its opposite end by an adjustable height leg stand. The adjustable leg stand includes a stanchion which is mounted for extension and retraction within a receiver pocket. The elevation of the food service tray and the extended position of the stanchion are fixed by a releasable latch. In automobiles having separately movable seats, the food service tray is stabilized by a slidable anchor arm which is inserted between the movable seats.
