A travel tray includes a flat support surface having a raised lip extending around its peripheral edge. A concave front wall is configured and dimensioned to accommodate the natural abdominal curvature of a user's torso. An aperture is formed in the support surface to receive a tapered beverage container of relatively large size. An adaptor is detachably secured to an annular raised lip that circumscribes the aperture. The adaptor reduces the diameter of the aperture so that it can accommodate a beverage container of smaller size. The adaptor ring is stored beneath the travel tray when not in use. The annular raised lip that circumscribes the aperture prevents spilled food or liquids from entering the aperture and spilling onto the user's lap. The raised lip that extends around the peripheral edge of the flat support surface provides the same function.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A travel tray, comprising:a flat base member having a front edge, a back edge, opposite side edges and a support surface adapted to support food items;a raised lip extending along a peripheral edge of said support surface;an aperture formed in said support surface, said aperture adapted to receive therein a first tapered drinking cup having a first predetermined size;said aperture having a first predetermined diameter that enables a lower end of said drinking cup to extend through said aperture by a distance sufficient to enable a user of said tray to brace said lower end between said user's knees to prevent toppling over of said first tapered drinking cup even when a vehicle within which said travel tray is used is negotiating a curve at a high speed;an annular raised lip circumscribing said aperture;an adaptor ring that releasably engages said annular raised lip;said adaptor ring having a second predetermined diameter less than said first predetermined diameter so that when said adaptor ring is engaged to said raised annular lip, said adaptor ring holds a second tapered drinking cup having a second predetermined size less than said first predetermined size of said first tapered drinking cup.
