Abstract
A multi-use work and play area attachable to a table surface by a generally ‘J’ shaped spring hinge assembly, that inhibits the scattering of manipulated articles, and offers protection of young children from injury associated with striking the edge of a table inadvertently with their arms, hand or head. The multi-use surface may also be used by adult hobbyists or craftspeople working with small articles that may be misplaced easily.
