Abstract
A multifunctional tray in a vehicle armrest adapted to temporarily receive food and beverage items is provided. The tray includes a tray body and a beverage container receiving aperture defined in the tray body. A recessed bin is defined in the tray body spaced apart from the beverage container receiving aperture. The condiment container receiving aperture is defined in the tray body adjacent the recessed bin. The condiment container receiving aperture has a generally segmentary shape defined by a generally circular aperture wall and an intersection between the condiment container receiving aperture and the recessed bin. The segmentary shape is appropriately sized to selectively receive rectangular and circular shape associated condiment containers while permitting access to the associated condiment container through the recessed bin for removal of the associated condiment containers.
