Abstract

A tray adapted for suspension from a railing edge includes a base panel having a pair of integral side panel tabs positioned on opposing sides of the base panel. An attachment panel, integral with a top portion of the base panel, is positioned between the pair of side panel tabs and folds along an attachment panel crease between a flat configuration and an angled configuration with respect to the base panel. The side panel tabs engage receiving slots located on the attachment panel to lock each tab in a fixed configuration for holding the attachment panel in an angled configuration to the base panel. A pair of generally J-shaped attachment tabs, integral with the attachment panel are positioned on opposing sides of a top portion of the attachment panel and fold along a crease between a flat configuration and a downwardly extending configuration from the attachment panel to form a hook adapted to engage a railing edge for suspending the tray therefrom. A method of constructing such a tray assembly is also disclosed.
