Patent ID: 8613454

Claim:
An under hood service tray, comprising: a base having a plurality of castors thereon so as to render the base mobile on a surface onto which the base is located, wherein the base has a pair of longitudinally extending legs and a laterally extending leg that is attached to and extends between the longitudinally extending legs, wherein a forward one of the castors is attached to each longitudinally extending leg and wherein a rearward one of the castors is attached to each longitudinally extending leg, wherein the laterally extending leg defines a portion of an opening that has an open front end capable of receiving at least a portion of a tire attached to an automobile therein and is attached to the longitudinally extending legs at a location that is completely between the locations of attachment of the forward and rearward castors to the longitudinally extending legs in a longitudinal direction, wherein the longitudinally extending leas and the laterally extending leg define a second opening that has an open back end such that the laterally extending leg is located between the opening and the second opening and each of the longitudinally extending legs has a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion of each of the longitudinally extending legs is located at a height that is less than the height location of the second portion of each of the longitudinally extending legs with the forward castors attached to the first portion of each of the longitudinally extending legs and is at a point of attachment that is at a height lower than a point of attachment of the rearward castors attached to the second portion of each of the longitudinally extending legs; a vertical member having a first end and a second end, the first end of the vertical member centrally attached to the lateral extending leg of the base; and a tray attached to the second end of the vertical member opposite to the first end to which the base is attached, wherein the tray is attached to the vertical member such that the tray is not capable of being removed from the vertical member; and at least six compartments are defined on the upper surface of the tray, wherein the tray has a front wall and a rear wall that are parallel to one another, and wherein the tray has a pair of side walls that extend between the front wall and the rear wall, wherein the pair of side walls are angled such that a portion of the pair of side walls are parallel to one another and a portion of the pair of side walls are not parallel to one another, wherein the outer surfaces of the front wall, the rear wall and the pair of side walls have a slip resistant material located thereon that has a higher coefficient of friction that other portions of the tray.
