Abstract:
This invention is a collapsible, detachable shelf for two-wheeled hand trucks, as well as other hand-propelled utility vehicles, designed to provide users with a table-like work surface and storage compartment. The shelf adapts universally to all existing models and brands of hand trucks and convertible carts, by use of clamps using hanging rods or like methods. Further original hand truck and shelf designs may accommodate new shelves, thus excluding clamp usage. The work surface benefits occupations, including but not limited to stock clerks and delivery persons, providing portable workspace suitable for writing and holding paper and office supplies. An alternate shelf has a storage compartment which holds job-appropriate items such as scanning devices, hand-held computers, pricing guns, and printers. The shelf, in its collapsed position, lies recessed within or behind the vehicle, providing no interference with normal freight.
Abstract:
A shoulder-carriable wheeled cart assembly includes a cart frame, a detachable backpack mountable on the cart frame, a plurality of laterally spaced support pegs mounted on the cart frame lower end portion, and a detachable harness strap. The harness strap is tightenable about articles mounted on the support pegs between the harness strap and the cart frame to secure said articles against the cart frame. A support tray attachable to the support pegs and interposable between the articles and the support pegs stabilizes the mounting of the articles on the support pegs. The cart assembly is mountable on a mobile passenger vehicle, such as a bicycle, via a docking fixture that receives and secures the cart assembly. A retraction cord connected to the harness strap upper end urges the harness strap upper end toward the upper portion of the frame, thereby avoiding dragging the harness strap along the ground.
Abstract:
A hand truck for carrying and lifting a load comprising spaced vertical columns each having a channel. Rollers are captured in each of said channels that are capable of vertical movement along its respective channel. A first toe plate is affixed to said columns and adapted to extend horizontally during use. A second toe plate is attached to the rollers and adapted to move vertically along said columns between upper and lower positions. The first and second toe plates are in nesting relationship when the second toe plate is in its lower position.
Abstract:
A foldable handcart includes a handle, a cart frame, a carrier board, two wheel seats and two wheels. Two frame seats are deposited on the carrier board for pivoting the carrier board on the cart frame. A front side and a top side are defined on the frame seat. A corner formed by the front side and the top side is a round corner. Therefore when the foldable handcart is not in use, a user presses down the foldable handcart and the wheel seats contact with the corners to rotate the carrier board up slightly according to the lever principle. The user further folds the foldable handcart easily. Furthermore, the carrier board is completely escaping the ground when the foldable handcart is folded.
Abstract:
A hand truck assembly includes a frame including an upper portion and a lower portion. The assembly further includes a handle attached to the upper portion of the frame. The assembly also includes a pair of wheels attached to the lower portion of the frame. In addition, the assembly includes a fixed work support member attached in fixed relation to the lower portion of the frame. The assembly further includes a movable work support member attached to the lower portion of the frame, the movable work support member being moveable between (i) a first position in which a free end portion of the movable work support member rests on the fixed work support member, and (ii) a second position in which the free end portion of the movable work support member is spaced apart from the fixed work support member. The assembly also includes a post attached in fixed relation to the free end portion of the movable work support member. The assembly additionally includes a power tool such as a hammer jack that defines a cavity. When the movable work support member is positioned in the first position, (i) the post is located within the cavity of the power tool , and (ii) the power tool is supported on the movable work support member.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a all-terrain cooler chest comprising a pair of wheels and a towing handle for portability. A back extension of storage space is provided behind the wheels that is designed to maintain the clearance from the ground for the underside of the cooler when the cooler is tilted up for towing with a handle. The invention optimizes storage space while providing ground clearance when the cooler is towed by an individual user.
Abstract:
A cart is described that has a wheeled base and an upright frame extending upwardly from the base. A side frame extends upwardly from the base and abuts the upright frame. The upper face of the base, the front face of the upright frame and the inside face of the side frame together form an open cargo bay. A horizontal work surface projects outward from the rear face of the upright frame. A storage compartment is attached to the rear face of the upright frame below the work surface.
Abstract:
Nestable cart includes a top, a bottom spaced apart from the top, and left and right sides extending between the top and the bottom. The bottom may be configured for moving upwardly relative to a rear of the cart, so that the bottom is movable between a horizontally extended use or non-nesting position and a somewhat vertically extending non-use or nesting position. When the bottom is in its nesting position, a further cart may be inserted into a front of the cart for being nested substantially within the cart. The cart and the further cart may be configured for nesting together without interfering with each other.
Abstract:
A combined desk and article carrier assembly for transporting at least one article in one mode and for serving as a work desk in another mode. The assembly includes wheels at its lower end with the upper end including an upwardly telescopical handle assembly for manually moving the frame on its wheels. A desk-top shelf is pivotally connected to an opposite side of the frame near its top end and is adapted to pivot outwardly and upwardly to a generally horizontal position to provide a support surface for supporting a lap top computer or the like. A telescoping support strut is attached to the desk-top shelf for providing additional support thereto in conjunction with a deployable foot.
Abstract:
A hand truck with a generally upright skeletal frame carried on spaced apart wheels connected with the lower portion of the frame incorporates a noseplate and a pallet-supporting fork structure configured to enter a pallet. The noseplate and fork structure are carried on the frame to be interchangeably movable to and from vertically spaced operative positions projecting forwardly at generally right angles to the lower end of the frame and removed stowed positions generally vertically adjacent the frame.
