tray
A tray (from the Latin tabula for "board"), also known as a tableau in Austria and Switzerland , is a flat work tool. It usually consists of a plate surrounded by an edge (often raised above the plate). It is mostly used for serving and transporting dishes , dishes or dishes with food on them. This is why the edge is sometimes provided with handles, especially in the case of large-scale designs.
A raised edge prevents spilled liquids from draining off or transported objects from sliding off. The latter is also prevented by trays with rubberized transport surfaces . The rubber coating increases the static friction and thus the maximum possible angle of inclination from which the contents of the tray start moving.
The name “tablet” is derived from the shape of the tablet for a peripheral device in computer technology, see graphics tablet . In addition, were taken over from the English word "tablet" ( Engl. Tablet ), the words tablet computer and tablet PC derived.
