23. An adjustable tray, comprising
a first bracket comprising: -
a first main portion disposed generally vertically during use of said tray, a first mounting member disposed at a first edge of said first main portion, a first L-shaped support arm having a proximal end thereof being rigidly secured to said first main portion at a second edge thereof, said second edge being opposite to said first edge, said first L-shaped support arm extending outwardly from said first main portion, a first flange of said first L-shaped support arm being disposed generally horizontally during said use of said tray and a second flange of said first L-shaped support arm being disposed generally vertically, a first stop rigidly secured to a distal end of said first L-shaped support arm, a first L-shaped flange with a first leg rigidly secured to said first main portion at a third edge thereof and extending in a direction of said first L-shaped support arm, and a second leg disposed generally parallel to said first main portion, a first aperture formed through a thickness of said first leg of said first L-shaped flange, a second aperture formed through a thickness of said first leg of said first L-shaped flange at a distance from said first aperture, and a first guide with a portion thereof being rigidly secured to at least one of said first main portion and said first L-shaped support arm, said first guide extending through said first aperture in a direction away from said second flange of said first L-shaped support arm; a second bracket comprising; a second main portion disposed generally vertically during said use of said tray, a second mounting member disposed at a first edge of said second main portion, a second L-shaped support arm having a proximal end thereof being rigidly secured to said second main portion at a second edge thereof, said second edge of said second main portion being opposite to said first edge of said second main portion, said second L-shaped support arm extending outwardly from said second main portion, a first flange of said second L-shaped support arm being disposed generally horizontally during said use of said tray and a second flange of said second L-shaped support arm being disposed generally vertically, a second stop rigidly secured to a distal end of said second L-shaped support arm, a second L-shaped flange with a first leg rigidly secured to said second main portion at a third edge thereof and extending in a direction of said second L-shaped support arm, and a second leg disposed generally parallel to said second main portion, a first aperture formed through a thickness of said second leg of said second L-shaped flange, a second aperture formed through said second leg of said second L-shaped support arm, a third aperture formed through a thickness of said first leg of said second L-shaped flange at a distance from said first aperture, and a second guide with a portion thereof being rigidly secured to at least one of said second main portion and said second L-shaped support arm, said second guide extending in a direction away from said second leg of said second L-shaped support arm, said second guide comprising a hollow interior aligned with said first aperture of said second L-shaped flange and with said second aperture; and a strap passed, at least during said use of said adjustable tray through said second aperture in said first leg of said first L-shaped flange and said third aperture in said first leg of said second L-shaped flange, said strap having ends being releasably securable to each other; said first guide passing, during said use of said tray, through said hollow interior of said second guide and through said first aperture of said second L-shaped flange and through said second aperture, so that said first bracket and said second bracket are movable in a linear direction relative to one another in order to vary a distance, in a horizontal direction, between said second leg of said first L-shaped support arm and said second leg of said second L-shaped support arm.
