Caster assembly, a chassis comprising such an assembly, and a roll container comprising such a chassis
According to an example aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a novel caster assembly for a roll container (1000). The caster assembly has a caster (410) with a fork (411) as well as a pin (414). The pin (414) may be repeatedly attached to and removed from the fork (411) so as to attach the chassis (100) of the roll container (1000) to the fork (411). The pin (414) also acts as the hinge pin of a pivotable side wall (200) of said roll container (1000).
Personal shopping cart and method of use
A shopping cart basket comprises one or more modular baskets couplable to a bottom basket having a plurality of wheels extending downwardly to allow the shopping cart basket to roll. Each of the modular baskets has a foldable bottom wall that can act as a bottom of a separate basket or can be folded against a side wall of the modular basket. The modular baskets could be used to hold items within a smaller compartment, and can be combined with the bottom basket to form a roll-able shopping cart having a larger compartment. Such a cart is advantageously used in a store, such as a grocery store, a retail shopping mall, or a home improvement store.
Cleaning cart and frame therefor
A cleaning cart includes: a support body; and a communication device holder for receiving a mobile communication device. The communication device holder is secured to the support body. In an embodiment, the support body has a double-shell construction, including an outer first shell and an inner second shell. The first shell covers the second shell in an essentially dome-shaped manner.
All-terrain platform dolly
An adjustable all-terrain dolly system (100) having a chassis assembly (110) that includes a frame (120) which has a right-side rail (122), a left-side rail (124), a first-adjustable cross member (126) and a second-adjustable cross member (128), and a first-rolling assembly (160) to include a first-set of inline wheels (164) and a second-rolling assembly to include a second-set of inline wheels (174 and at least one adjustable-locking mechanism (180). The frame of the dolly system defines a load-supporting platform, and the platform has a length which is at least about twice the front-to-rear length of each of the two sets of wheels. Furthermore, each wheel of the dolly system has a peripheral surface which is shaped to engage the underlying surface at a substantially single point to enhance the maneuverability of the dolly.
Collapsible Painter Utility Cart and Tool Organizer
An apparatus includes a collapsible frame having two hingedly connected frame components that facilitate converting between a folded configuration and an extended configuration. A first platform and a second platform are each hingedly coupled to the collapsible frame, and a detachable paint container has an open top. An upper surface of the first platform includes a first recessed portion that substantially conforms to an outer shape of the detachable paint container and a second recessed portion including substantially concentric circular recesses adapted to conform to an outer shape of at least two different sized paint cans.

Wheeled folding tray cart with safety device and method
The invention is a wheeled folding tray cart and method. The wheeled folding tray cart comprises a collapsible wheeled framework pivotally supporting a set of split shelves, each split shelf comprises a pair of half shelves. The wheeled folding tray cart moves between an open operating position wherein the set of split shelves are held in spaced-apart, stacked, horizontal orientation within the collapsible wheeled framework and a closed storage position wherein the collapsible wheeled framework is collapsed in manner to move each half shelf pair into an accordion-like, inverted “V”-shaped or accordion like configuration. An extension coiled spring attached to the collapsible wheeled framework assists in the movement of the wheeled folding tray cart between open operating position and the closed storage position. A sheath encloses at least a portion of the spring to provide resistance to the spring's movement to limit potential operator exposure to pinch injuries.

Chassis for a roll container and a roll container comprising the same
According to an example aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a novel chassis (100) for a roll container (1000). The chassis (100) features a first arm (121), a second arm (122), and a crossmember (110) for connecting the first arm (121) to the second arm (122) so as to form the chassis (100). The crossmember (110) is formed to be less resistant to mechanical strain than that of the first and second arm (121, 122). The crossmember (110) is such that it can be repeatedly attached to and detached from the first and second arm (121, 122).
