Abstract

A tray is mounted on the arms of a walker and which includes cup holders, and a compartment that can be closed by a lid that can then serve as a work surface. The lid of the compartment also includes a mirror and a light is mounted on the lid adjacent to the mirror.

Claims

1. A tray for use on a walker comprising:

A) a body having

(1) a first surface that is a top surface when the tray is in use,

(2) a second surface that is a bottom surface when the tray is in use,

(3) a first end edge which is a forward edge when the tray is in use, the first end edge being arcuate,

(4) a second end edge which is a rear edge when the tray is in use, the second end edge being arcuate,

(5) a longitudinal axis which extends between the first end edge and the second end edge,

(6) a first side edge which connects the forward edge to the rear edge,

(7) a second side edge which connects the forward edge to the rear edge, and

(8) a transverse axis which extends between the first side edge and the second side edge;

B) a first elongate slot defined through the body, the first slot being located adjacent to the first side edge and extending from adjacent to the first end edge of the body to adjacent to the second end edge of the body and having a width dimension that extends in the direction of the transverse axis of the body;

C) a second elongate slot defined through the body, the second slot being located adjacent to the second side edge and extending from adjacent to the first end edge of the body to adjacent to the second end edge of the body and having a width dimension that extends in the direction of the transverse axis of the body;

D) first and second blind-ended bores defined in the body and extending from the first surface of the body toward the second surface of the body, the bores being spaced apart from each other in the direction of the transverse axis of the body;

D) securing elements located adjacent to the first and second blind-ended bores;

E) a third blind-ended bore defined in the body adjacent to the first end edge and extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the body toward the second end edge;

F) a lid hingeably mounted on the first surface of the body adjacent to the third blind-ended bore, the lid being movable between a bore-covering position covering the third blind-ended bore and a bore-uncovering position, the lid including a first surface that is an outside surface and is co-planar with the first surface of the body when the lid is in the bore-covering position and a second surface which is an inside surface that is located inside the third blind-ended bore when the lid is in the bore-covering position;

G) a mirror mounted on the inside surface of the lid;

H) a light-emitting element mounted on the inside surface of the lid adjacent to the mirror; and

I) two fourth blind-ended bores defined in the first surface of the body adjacent to the third blind-ended bore.
