Under Sink Leak Protector Tray and Associated Method

Abstract

A leak protector tray preferably includes a modular tray assembly suitably sized and shaped for being removably positioned within a sink cabinet. Such a modular tray assembly includes Notably, each tray has alternating tongue and groove edges that are interlocked together via a coupling to provide a secure and water-tight connection between adjacent trays. In this manner, the interlocking edges allow a user to adjustably link a plurality of trays to accommodate various sized and shaped sink cabinets, while ensuring moisture/water do not seep through the interlocked edges.

What is claimed as new and what is desired to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is: 
     
         1 . An under sink leak protector tray system for collecting spillage of liquid inside a cabinet, said under sink leak protector tray system comprising:
 a tray assembly adapted to be positioned within an existing sink cabinet, said tray assembly comprising an interlocking tray, said tray including a first and second adjacent receptacle edge and two typical adjacent edges positioned in such a manner that said receptacle edge over laps the typical edge of additional trays in a side by side, back and forth, or checkerboard fashion.   
     
     
         2 . The under-sink leak protector tray system of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second trays comprise: first and second walls facing each other when said first and second edges are interlocked together respectively. 
     
     
         3 . The under-sink leak protector tray system of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second interlocking edges are slidably engaged along a rectilinear longitudinal path intermediately located between conjoining first and second walls of said first and second trays respectively. 
     
     
         4 . The under-sink leak protector tray system of  claim 4 , wherein said first interlocking edge is disposed subjacent to said second interlocking edge entirely along said rectilinear longitudinal path. 
     
     
         5 . The under-sink leak protector tray system of  claim 4 , wherein each of said first and second interlocking edges has a curvilinear cross-section. 
     
     
         6 . The under-sink leak protector tray system of  claim 1 , wherein each of said first and second interlocking edges has a rectilinear linear shape.
