Work surface device
First Claim
1. A work surface device, comprising:
- an upper member having a substantially planar top surface and a lower surface;
a support secured to the upper member for supporting the upper member on a support member with the planar top surface in a generally horizontal orientation;
the upper member having a first opening; and
a work board of shape and dimensions generally matching the shape and dimensions of said top surface for removably placing on said top surface, the work board having a second opening positioned for alignment with the first opening when the work board is placed on the top surface.

Abstract
A work surface device has an upper member with a substantially planar top surface. A support is secured to the upper member for supporting the upper member on a support member with the planar top surface in a generally horizontal orientation. The support has a fastener or clamping device at its lower end for releasable engagement with a portion of the support member. A work board of shape and dimensions generally matching the shape and dimensions of the top surface may be placed on the top surface. The work board and upper member have aligned openings in which a receptacle may be seated or through which waste may be discarded into a container beneath the work surface. In one arrangement, the clamping device is secured to the upper rim of a container with the work surface spaced above the open upper end of the container.

21. A method of supporting and using a work surface, comprising the steps of:
-
deploying at least one support to depend downwardly from an upper member having a generally flat, upper work surface; securing the lower end of the support to the open rim of the container so that the upper member is spaced above an open, upper end of the container, the work surface is generally horizontal, and a gap is provided between the upper member and open upper end of the container through which items is placed in the container; processing items on the work surface; and placing a work board on the work surface with an opening in the work board aligned with the opening in the work surface. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
