Modular cart
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.
Collapsible Utility Cart
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.
Flatbed utility cart
A utility cart including a rectangular base is provided. The utility cart includes at least one handle extending outward and upwards from a short side of the rectangular base and a leg extending down from the short side of the rectangular base on the short side of the handles. The utility cart also includes a first wheel assembly joined to the rectangular base on end opposite to the handles, wherein two wheels and the leg are positioned such that the rectangular base is horizontal with a floor, two holes centered along each long side of the rectangular base, and a first adjustable guard that fits into the two holes.
Transport vehicle and transport device
A transport vehicle with a horizontally oriented integrated table which is arranged at the upper end of a vertical frame section and forms the upper end of the vehicle body.
Convertible, All-Terrain Gear Cart
A convertible, all-terrain gear cart convertible between modes of manual propulsion, trailering, and support by a motor vehicle. A control arm with a trailer hitch connector permits trailering or manual propulsion and is pivotally coupled to a first end of a cargo bin, and a vehicle engaging member to permit support and transport by a motor vehicle projects from the second end of the cargo bin. Detachable, all-terrain wheels with lateral axes of rotation are retained at a mid-portion of the cargo bin. Cargo retention and roll bars are removably coupled to the cargo bin, and a retractable support leg can cooperate with the wheels to stabilize the gear cart. The vehicle engaging member can comprise a receiver with a mitered end forming a shelf that can be rested on a rigid tongue of a trailer hitch adapter to permit levering of the gear cart relative to a vehicle.
MODULAR CART
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 and/or modular article, such as a winch, tow bar, light, bumper, etc.
PORTABLE RIGID COOLER AND BEVERAGE DISPENSER WITH LEGS THAT EXTEND AND RETRACT
In one aspect of the subject invention, a cooler is provided herein including a body having an insulated bottom and insulated upstanding side walk enclosing an interior volume, the side walls terminating at a free edge Which defines an opening to the interior volume. A first opening is formed through a first of the side walls. At least one lid is also provided for selectively covering the opening. A well is also provided including a reservoir, configured to accommodate a beverage, and a spigot, configured to selectively pour out the beverage. The well is configured to be removably emplaced in the interior volume of the body, being wholly contained therein, and with the spigot passing through the first opening to extend beyond the first side wall. Advantageously, the subject invention provides for an enclosed reservoir of beverage, which may be maintained in a cool state and conveniently dispensed.
Dolly Assembly
A dolly assembly for transporting a grain aeration fan includes a frame, which is shaped and sized so that the frame is complementary to a base of load. Each of a pair of wheels is engaged to a respective opposed end of an axle. The axle is engaged to a back of the frame and extends from a first side of the frame past a second side thereof. A handle is engaged to the back of the frame proximate to the second side. A user can grasp the handle and tilt the frame so that a center of mass of the load is positioned above the axle. A forward view of the user is not blocked by the load. A leveling unit is engaged to and extends perpendicularly from the frame proximate to a front thereof. The leveling unit and the wheels support the frame in a substantially horizontal configuration.
Collapsible multi-purpose containers
Collapsible indoor and outdoor containers having a collapsible wall section with shape-retaining characteristics are disclosed. In particular, collapsible coolers, fish bins, and wheeled vertical bins are provided. The collapsible wall section may include foldable tiers of a flexible material, each tier having at least one stable, relatively expanded position and at least one stable, relatively collapsed position; and an intervening, non-folding tier composed of a different, relatively stiff or rigid material. The coolers, fish bins, and wheeled vertical bins are each advantageously provided with a collapsible insert container that nests within and collapses together with a shell of the respective container, the respective wall folds of the shell and insert meshing together to result in a combined collapsed vertical dimension as small or nearly as small as that of the collapsed shell alone.
WATER HEATER HAND TRUCKS
Disclosed herein are hand trucks for installing and removing water heaters. The disclosed water heater hand trucks enable a single person to lift the water heater onto a platform and to keep the water heater above the water heater pan during installation and removal. The disclosed hand trucks generally include a main platform and a wheel frame. A water heater is strapped to the main platform which has curved legs at the bottom with rubber landing feet. This design is used to keep the water heater above a water heater pan while lifting the water heater into position. This avoids crushing the pan with the water heater. The handles at the upper section of the main platform have adjustable positions. These handles can be opened up to an outward position to provide leverage, which can be advantageous when access to the platform is limited from a frontal approach.
