Abstract:
A combined decanter and tray for dispensing and serving beverages in which the tray, the decanter and cup-like receptacles containing beverages to be served may be lifted and transported from place to place by means of the handle of the decanter but in which the decanter may be removed from the tray by rotating it to a predetermined position relative to the surface of the tray. The tray comprises a substantially arcuate central orifice for receiving the lower portion of the decanter and it may also include a plurality of smaller orifices for receiving cup-like receptacles for beverages to be served. The central orifice has slot means extending outwardly from its periphery and the lower portion of the decanter has outwardly extending key means for registering with and sliding through said slot means so that after insertion of the key means through the slot means upon rotation of the decanter relative to the central orifice the key means is moved out of registry with the slot means thereby permitting the tray, the decanter and the cup-like receptacles to be lifted and transported as a unit by grasping the handle of the decanter.
