Abstract
A multipurpose article holding tray is disclosed for use in an automobile body including a container for removable interfitting within a traylike receptacle. The container is divided into compartments for receipt of litter, liquid beverage containers, note paper, and pencils. In the preferred form, the receptacle includes dividers for holding cassette tapes. The receptacle includes a skirt-like marginal rim which defines the recess for removably holding the container and which includes sets of convex lower marginal edges in the end walls and in the side walls for straddling the tunnel hump of an automobile body of various sizes. The receptacle is removably held to the automobile body against displacement by forces caused by movement and/or jarring of the automobile body by studs depending from the bottom wall of the receptacle which are gripped by an element secured to the automobile body such as by adhesive. In the preferred form, the gripping element includes apertures of a size and shape complementary to and for a gripping and frictional interrelation with the studs of the receptacle.
