A mechanic's tray assembly for holding tools and small parts, and removably adherable to both horizontal and non-horizontal surfaces. The tray assembly includes a shallow-walled tray and a pair of C-shaped support tracks fixedly secured to the tray. A pair of removably-adhering assemblies, independent of each other and preferably having magnets, are slidably and pivotally held on the C-shaped support tracks by support arms. The support arms have cylindrically-shaped holes through which the C-shaped support tracks extend. The cylindrically-shaped holes engage and grip the support tracks by means of a cantilever moment produced at the tube-shaped holes, thereby enabling the tray to be held at a desired tray angle.

[ I claim:] [1.] A mechanic's tray assembly for holding tools and small parts, while servicing machinery, said mechanic's tray assembly comprising:a tray having a floor with a top and a bottom surface, and a walled perimeter surrounding the top surface of the floor;a first and a second support track fixedly secured to the tray, wherein said first support track is parallel to the second support track, each support track having a generally C-shaped configuration with an upper track portion having an upper terminus, a lower track portion having a lower terminus, and a curved portion, at least one of said upper terminus and lower terminus being fixedly secured to said tray, whereby the upper track portion, the lower track portion, and the curved portion, are rigidly suspended from the tray; anda first removably-adhering assembly slidably and pivotally held on said first support track, and a second removably-adhering assembly slidably and pivotally held on said second support track and independently movable with respect to said first removably-adhering assembly, said first and second removably-adhering assemblies each including means for removably-adhering to a surface having a surface-contacting face, and a support arm centrally affixed to the means for removably-adhering to a surface, said support arm having a generally cylindrically-shaped hole with a central axis parallel to the surface-contacting face, the cylindrically-shaped hole having a diameter greater than the diameter of said first and second support tracks and the respective support track extending therethrough, whereby said removably-adhering assemblies are removably adhered to a desired surface and said tray and support tracks are slidably positioned through the cylindrically-shaped hole of the support arm to a desired position.
