Abstract:
A collapsible utility cart includes an elongate frame having upper and lower ends. A handle is formed proximate the upper end of the frame. A pair of wheels are axially rotatably connected to the frame and are pivotable between an open condition wherein the wheels are axially aligned with one another and a folded condition wherein the wheels are axially parallel to one another. Upper and lower support element are interconnected pivotally to the frame and are alternatable between collapsed conditions folded against the frame and open conditions extending forwardly from the frame. A plurality of clips are carried by the upper support element for securing a collection bag to the upper support element.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a cart frame and modular, motorized cart. In some examples, the cart frame may comprise a wheel assembly, handles, and a kickstand. A modular article (e.g., litter, stretcher, game basket, etc.) may be attached to the top portion of the cart frame via at least one fastener (e.g., buttons, snaps, hooks, buckles, quick-detach mounts, etc.). The handles may be foldable and extendable. The kickstands may also be foldable and extendable. The handles, in some embodiments, may serve a dual purpose by folding to a certain length to function as a kickstand. In other examples, the cart may comprise an engine that may be gas-powered or electric. A battery may be affixed to the cart frame that powers the electric engine. Other objects may also be attached to the cart frame or modular article, such as a winch, tow bar, light, bumper, etc.
Abstract:
A collapsible support structure includes at least a horizontal support structure, a vertical support structure, and an axle assembly. In use, the collapsible support structure may be folded/unfolded between a deployed configuration, in which the collapsible support structure may be capable of rolling along a support surface to transport items, and a stowed/storage position, in which the collapsible support structure is collapsed in a compact geometry for storage. The axle assembly enables removal of the wheels from the axle for storage of the collapsible support structure. The axle may be repositionable between a deployed position and a storage position. The axle may be equipped with a retainer unit that retains the axle in the deployed position.
Abstract:
A convertible hand truck includes first and second truck frames coupled with each other through a pair of fixed members and a pair of pivoting members such that the second truck frame is turnable relative to the first truck frame among a folded position, a platform-cart position and a reclined-truck position. A stabilizing lever is pivotably connected with the second truck frame or the pivoting members to be engaged with or disengaged from the fixed members in response to the turning of the second truck frame. The second truck frame extends outwardly from the first truck frame in the reclined-truck position so as to expand and enlarge the carrying area of the hand truck for more loads.
Abstract:
A collapsible wheeled game transport cart is disclosed. The game transport cart includes carrying straps that are used to transport the cart when it is unloaded and collapsed. Straps for securing game to the game transport cart may be provided, and the cart is easily navigated over rough and wooded terrain. A collapsible kickstand may be provided that facilitates loading, transporting and unloading of game.
Abstract:
A convertible dual purpose device (10) has a frame (12) movable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration, supporting material (28) connected to the frame for supporting one or more objects, handles (14, 16, 18, 20) at a first end of the frame, and a wheel (26) at a second end of the frame. When the frame is in the expanded configuration, the device can be positioned in a first orientation whereby the supporting material is adapted to serve as a load support for a chair, or in a second orientation whereby the supporting material is adapted to serve as a load support for a wheel barrow. When the frame is in the collapsed configuration, the device can be stored in a carry bag (42).
Abstract:
The foldable bearing structure includes a set of coplanar wheels and a folding device including a set of lower arms; at least a rear upper arm; an antiparallelogram deformable in a vertical plane, the antiparallelogram including two crossed segments; at least a first sidebar located in the vertical plane; the antiparallelogram deformed by folding between a first position corresponding to an unfolded of the structure and a second position corresponding to a folded position, the transition from the first position to the second position reducing the wheelbase of the structure.
Abstract:
A security cart includes a rear wall, a wheeled base frame connected to the rear wall and a base shelf pivotable between a horizontal position and a raised position. A first sidewall and a first door pivotally connected to the first sidewall are movable from locked positions with the base shelf to a folded position forwardly of the rear wall. A second sidewall and a second door pivotally connected to the second sidewall are movable from locked positions to a folded position forwardly of the folded first sidewall and first door. The base shelf is movable from the horizontal position to the raised position, and retained against the folded first sidewall and the first door and the folded second sidewall and second door.
Abstract:
Mobile carts are adapted to facilitate both storage and mobility. In at least one example, a mobile cart may include a frame with a first longitudinal end and an opposing second longitudinal end. A swing-arm assembly may be coupled to the frame to pivot between a storage mode and a cart mode, where a handle is positioned adjacent the first longitudinal end of the frame and a pair of wheels are positioned beyond the second longitudinal end of the frame when the swing-arm assembly is positioned in the storage mode, and where the handle is positioned beyond the second longitudinal end of the frame and the wheels are positioned adjacent a bed portion of the frame when the swing-arm assembly is positioned in the cart mode. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
Abstract:
The handling properties of two-wheeled trolleys may be materially improved by arranging for the freely rotatable wheels (1, 2) to be able to move to a certain extent relative to the frame or load-receiving container portions (3, 4, 5) of the trolley in a direction parallel to the direction of travel of the trolley. This can be achieved by mounting the trolley wheels (1, 2) so that they, and the axles (32) on which they are mounted for free rotation, can, preferably independently, swivel about a horizontal axis displaced from (and lower than) the level at which the wheels are mounted on their respective axles. The wheels are preferably set at a high positive camber angle. Letting the wheels swivel materially improves handling on rough terrain. The trolley is preferably foldable to save space when being transported or stored.
