Accessory device for spa

Abstract

An accessory device for a spa has a top surface and a side wall. The spa includes an upper surface portion having an inner edge and outer edge. The upper surface portion is adapted to extend outwardly from an exterior perimeter of an top surface of a spa when positioned thereon. A least one flange portion extends inwardly from said inner edge of the upper surface. The flange member is adapted to be removably attached to the top surface of the spa. At least one support portion extends downwardly from the upper surface portion and has an inner wall and an outer wall. The inner wall is adapted to rest upon and be supported by a side wall of said spa when positioned thereon. The upper surface may function as a tray for holding objects in a location accessible to persons in the spa or may have a cavity formed therein which forms a bucket for holding objects in a location accessible to persons in the spa.

1 . An accessory device for a spa having a top surface and a side wall comprising: 
 an upper surface portion having an inner edge and outer edge, said upper surface portion adapted to extend outwardly from an exterior perimeter of a top surface of a spa when positioned thereon,    at least one flange portion extended inwardly from said inner edge of said upper surface, said flange portion adapted to be removably attached to the top surface of the spa;    at least one support portion extending downwardly from said upper surface portion and having an inner wall and an outer wall, said inner wall adapted to rest upon and be supported by a side wall of said spa when positioned thereon.    
   
   
       2 . An accessory device according to  claim 1  wherein said upper surface portion functions as a tray for holding objects in a location accessible to persons in the spa.  
   
   
       3 . An accessory device according to  claim 1  wherein said upper surface portion has a cavity formed therein, said cavity functioning as a bucket for holding objects in a location accessible to persons in the spa.  
   
   
       4 . An accessory device according to  claim 1  wherein said inner edge of said upper surface is curved.  
   
   
       5 . An accessory device according to  claim 4  wherein said inner edge of said upper surface is curved along an arcuate path and is adapted to mate with and conform with the curvature of the exterior perimeter of the top surface of the spa.  
   
   
       6 . An accessory device according to  claim 1  wherein said outer edge of said upper surface is curved.  
   
   
       7 . An accessory device according to  claim 1  wherein said at least one flange portion is generally rectangular in shape.  
   
   
       8 . An accessory device according to  claim 1  wherein said opening in said at least one flange portion is generally rectangular in shape.  
   
   
       9 . An accessory device according to  claim 1  wherein said projection member is generally rectangular in shape.  
   
   
       10 . An accessory device according to  claim 1  wherein a pair of spaced apart flange members are provided.  
   
   
       11 . An accessory device according to  claim 1  wherein a pair of spaced apart support portions are provided.  
   
   
       12 . An accessory device according to  claim 1  wherein said flange portion has an opening therein adapted to receive a projection member extending upward from said top surface of said spa.  
   
   
       13 . An accessory device according to  claim 1  wherein said at least one flange portion is adapted to be received in a recess in the top surface of the spa and said flange portion has an opening therein adapted to receive a projection member extending upward from a center portion of said recess.
