Claim:
A medical tray, comprising: a basket having a handle assembly comprised of a carrying handle and a base with an elongated aperture in said basket, said basket further having a plurality of sidewalls, each having a top and a bottom, and a bottom wall disposed between said tops and bottoms so as to define an upper volume between said sidewall tops and said bottom wall and a lower volume defined between said sidewall bottoms and said bottom wall; a telescoping leg comprised of a plurality of closely fitting telescope tubes that can slide relative to one another and to said elongated aperture; means to retain said telescoping leg within said elongated aperture until released by a release force; a release mechanism within said handle assembly for producing said release force, said release mechanism including a grip for creating a release force and a release member for selectively preventing said grip from applying said release force to said retain means; wherein said release member is on said carrying handle; wherein said release member sits over said grip as said release member prevents said grip from applying said release force to said retain means so that said telescoping leg is retained within said elongated aperture; wherein said release member clears said grip as said release member allows said grip to move and to apply said release force to said retain means so that said release force allows the telescoping leg to slide out of said elongated aperture; and wherein a user can operate said release member to allow said grip to apply said release force to said retain means.
