Abstract
A tray assembly is provided particularly for utilization with a nursing home bed or the like. The tray includes a substantially flat support surface that gently slopes downwardly from the head portion to the foot portion of the tray, with a vertical lip upstanding from the support surface around the entire tray circumference. A pair of U-shaped rods are provided for mounting the tray on supporting rails of varying spacings, clips of flexible material being mounted on cross portions of the U-shaped rods to attach to appropriate rail sections. The bed toe board mounts rail sections that also can receive the tray so that the tray covers the toe board when not in use.
