Abstract

Mountable trays for temperature probe hubs are disclosed. An example mountable tray includes a central portion, a peripheral portion, and a mounting arm. The central portion includes at least one drainage opening extending through the central portion. The peripheral portion is coupled to and extends upwardly from the central portion. The mounting arm is coupled to and extends upwardly from the peripheral portion. The mounting arm is configured to mount the mountable tray to a flange.

Claims (32)

1. A mountable tray, comprising:

a central portion including at least one drainage opening extending through the central portion;

a peripheral portion coupled to and extending upwardly from the central portion; and

a mounting arm coupled to and extending upwardly from the peripheral portion, the mounting arm configured to mount the mountable tray to a flange, the mounting arm including:

a first arm coupled to and extending upwardly from the peripheral portion, the first arm having a first fastener opening, the first fastener opening having a first diameter;

a second arm spaced apart from the first arm, the second arm having a second fastener opening, the second fastener opening having a second diameter, the second diameter being less than the first diameter; and

a bridge coupled to and extending between the first arm and the second arm.

2. The mountable tray of claim 1 , wherein the at least one drainage opening is a slot.

3. The mountable tray of claim 2 , wherein the slot has an L-shaped profile.

4. The mountable tray of claim 1 , wherein the central portion has a rectangular profile including rounded corners.

5. The mountable tray of claim 4 , wherein the at least one drainage opening includes a first drainage opening located proximate a first one of the rounded corners, a second drainage opening located proximate a second one of the rounded corners, a third drainage opening located proximate a third one of the rounded corners, and a fourth drainage opening located proximate a fourth one of the rounded corners.

6. The mountable tray of claim 1 , further comprising:

a knob including a threaded opening; and

a fastener including a threaded shaft and a head coupled to the threaded shaft, the threaded shaft configured to threadedly mate with the threaded opening, the threaded shaft having a third diameter, the third diameter being less than the second diameter, the head having a fourth diameter, the fourth diameter being less than the first diameter and greater than the second diameter.

7. A mountable tray, comprising:

a central portion;

a peripheral portion extending upwardly from the central portion;

a probe storage tab coupled to and extending outwardly from the peripheral portion, the probe storage tab including at least one probe storage opening extending through the probe storage tab and configured to receive a temperature probe; and

a mounting arm coupled to and extending upwardly from the peripheral portion, the mounting arm configured to mount the mountable tray to a flange, the mounting arm including:

a first arm coupled to and extending upwardly from the peripheral portion, the first arm having a first fastener opening, the first fastener opening having a first diameter;

a second arm spaced apart from the first arm, the second arm having a second fastener opening, the second fastener opening having a second diameter, the second diameter being less than the first diameter; and

a bridge coupled to and extending between the first arm and the second arm.

8. The mountable tray of claim 7 , wherein the central portion includes at least one drainage opening extending through the central portion.

9. The mountable tray of claim 8 , wherein the at least one drainage opening is a slot.

10. The mountable tray of claim 9 , wherein the slot has an L-shaped profile.

11. The mountable tray of claim 8 , wherein the central portion has a rectangular profile including rounded corners.

12. The mountable tray of claim 11 , wherein the at least one drainage opening includes a first drainage opening located proximate a first one of the rounded corners, a second drainage opening located proximate a second one of the rounded corners, a third drainage opening located proximate a third one of the rounded corners, and a fourth drainage opening located proximate a fourth one of the rounded corners.

13. The mountable tray of claim 7 , further comprising:

a knob including a threaded opening; and

a fastener including a threaded shaft and a head coupled to the threaded shaft, the threaded shaft configured to threadedly mate with the threaded opening, the threaded shaft having a third diameter, the third diameter being less than the second diameter, the head having a fourth diameter, the fourth diameter being less than the first diameter and greater than the second diameter.

14. The mountable tray of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral portion circumscribes the central portion, and wherein the peripheral portion is configured to support and circumscribe a temperature probe hub when the temperature probe hub is positioned onto an inner surface of the peripheral portion.

15. The mountable tray of claim 7 , wherein the peripheral portion circumscribes the central portion, and wherein the peripheral portion is configured to support and circumscribe a temperature probe hub when the temperature probe hub is positioned onto an inner surface of the peripheral portion.
