Leveling roof work tray

Abstract

A portable work tray designed to receive objects therein whereby the tray has a leveling assembly operatively connected thereto to allow the tray to be placed in a generally level manner upon engagement with a sloped surface. The tray includes four walls and a bottom with a pair of pivot arms oppositely mounted along two of the walls. Intermediately mounted to the pivot arms distal to walls is a support arm. The support arm has substantially disposed thereon a coating and/or a serrated edge to prevent the tray from traversing down the sloped surface.

1 . An apparatus for receiving objects therein while engaged with a sloped surface comprising: 
 a storage compartment having at least one wall and a bottom, said wall and bottom being configured to form an opening for receiving objects therein; and    a leveling assembly, said leveling assembly pivotally mounted to said at least one wall, said leveling assembly operable to pivot beneath said bottom and further operable to level said bottom and engaged with the sloped surface.    
   
   
       2 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said leveling assembly further includes at least one pivot arm.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said leveling assembly further includes a support arm, said support arm being generally perpendicular and contiguous with said at least one pivot arm, said support arm for supporting said bottom, when said leveling assembly is engaged with the sloped surface.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said support arm has a serrated edge.  
   
   
       5 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 3 , further including a coating, said coating substantially disposed on said support arm, said coating for engaging the sloped surface and further configured to inhibit said support arm from slipping on the sloped surface.  
   
   
       6 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 5 , further including an attachment mechanism, said attachment mechanism rotatably securing said pivot arm to said at least one wall.  
   
   
       7 . A work tray for receiving objects therein while engaged with a sloped surface comprising: 
 a storage compartment, said storage compartment having four walls and a bottom, said bottom being generally rectangular in shape, and said storage compartment having an opening for receiving objects therein;    a pair of pivot arms, said pivot arms oppositely mounted to each other to said walls, said pivot arms generally pivoting beneath said bottom, said pivot arms permitting said work tray to be positioned in a level manner upon engagement with a sloped surface; and    an attachment mechanism, said attachment mechanism for rotatably securing said pair of pivot arms to at least two of said four walls.    
   
   
       8 . The work tray as recited in  claim 7 , further including a support arm, said support arm mounted intermediate said pivot arms, said support arm providing support for said work tray upon engagement with a sloped surface.  
   
   
       9 . The work tray as recited in  claim 8 , further including a coating disposed on said support arm, said coating for securing said support arm to a sloped surface to prevent said tray from traversing down the sloped surface.  
   
   
       10 . The work tray as recited in  claim 8 , wherein said support arm has a serrated edge.  
   
   
       11 . The work tray as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said work tray is at least one of aluminum and durable plastic.  
   
   
       12 . The work tray as recited in  claim 11 , wherein said tray is twenty inches in length and eighteen inches in width with said walls being two inches in height.  
   
   
       13 . A work tray for receiving objects therein and further providing a level surface while engaged with a sloped surface of a roof, comprising: 
 a storage compartment, said storage compartment having two side walls, a front wall and a rear wall with a bottom being generally rectangular in shape, said storage compartment having an opening for receiving objects therein;    two pivot arms, said pivot arms having a first end and a second end, each of said first end of said pivot arms oppositely mounted centrally along one of said two side walls, each of said pivot arms having a first position and a second position, said pivot arms operational between said first and said second positions, said pivot arms permitting said tray to be positioned in a level manner when said tray is engaged with a sloped surface; and    attachment mechanisms, said attachment mechanisms for rotatably securing each of said two pivot arms to said two side walls.    
   
   
       14 . The work tray as recited in  claim 13 , further including a support arm, said support arm intermediate said second ends of said pivot arms, said support arm providing support for said work tray upon engagement with a sloped surface.  
   
   
       15 . The work tray as recited in  claim 14 , wherein said first position of said pivot arms is generally perpendicular with said bottom.  
   
   
       16 . The work tray as recited in  claim 15 , wherein said second position of said pivot arms is generally parallel with said bottom.  
   
   
       17 . The work tray as recited in  claim 16 , further including a coating, said coating substantially disposed on said support arm, said coating for securing said support arm to a sloped surface to prevent said tray from traversing across the sloped surface.  
   
   
       18 . The work tray as recited in  claim 16 , wherein said support arm has a serrated edge.  
   
   
       19 . The work tray as recited in  claim 18 , wherein said second end of said pivot arms extend beyond said front wall upon placement in said second position.  
   
   
       20 . The work tray as recited in  claim 19 , wherein said work tray is twenty inches in length and 18 inches in width.
