Folding table having pull-out wheels
A folding table having first and opposite ends that are rotatable relative to one another to lie either face-to-face when the folding table is in a folded configuration or end-to-end when the folding table is in an unfolded configuration. The table includes a pair of pull-out wheels on which the table can roll in its folded configuration. A retractable chair rack can be pulled outwardly from one of the table ends to engage a stack of folding chairs to be transported when the table is in its folded configuration and functioning as a cart. The pair of pull-out wheels are pivotally coupled to the table and rotatable between a first position lying outside and adjacent opposite sides of the table when the table is in its folded configuration and a second position lying below the bottom of the table when the table is in its unfolded configuration.
DECORATIVE TREE STORAGE CONTAINER
A decorative tree storage container including an enclosure having a proximal end, a distal end, and an underside surface, is provided, and described. The storage container can be sized to hold a decorative tree, and can include one or more wheels coupled to the enclosure and positioned at a wheel location between the proximal end and the distal end that increases the clearance between the underside surface of the enclosure and a supporting surface when a decorative tree is in the enclosure and a user is lifting the proximal end by the handle.
Ladder tree stand dolly and method
Apparatus and method for transporting a section of a ladder tree stand or a stack of ladder tree stand sections and for transporting a harvested big game animal. The apparatus consists of a frame, a single wheel, an axle and a clamp. The axle is attached to the frame and the wheel is mounted on the axle. The clamp is used for clamping the frame to a ladder tree stand section or sections so that a hunter can transport the ladder tree stand section or sections by pushing or pulling the ladder tree stand section or sections on the wheel of the frame.

Three wheel cargo cart with lifting drawbar
A three wheel cart that is adjustable in both length and width for cargo such as ice chests. The cart provides a pair of rear wheels, a horizontal load platform, and a front drawbar with a third wheel for easy pulling or pushing. The drawbar and third wheel retract under the cart. All adjustments are made without wrenches utilizing a large soft hand nut. The width adjustment is interconnected by a mechanism so that cargo width retainers slide in and out simultaneously along with the cart main wheels. When the drawbar is raised into its towing position the cart's front support leg is levered off the ground by the third wheel. This capability minimizes the lifting effort required when towing the cart. As the drawbar is lowered the support leg becomes an automatic parking brake. The operator cannot abandon the cart without the brake being applied.

Detachable Tongue Apparatus and Method for Converting a Two-Wheeled Wheelbarrow into a Towable Cart
An apparatus and method for converting a two-wheeled wheelbarrow into a towable cart utilize a detachable towing tongue having a first end adapted for pivotable attachment to an axle of the wheelbarrow between the two wheels, a second end adapted for attachment to a towing vehicle, and a tongue body extending between the first and second ends. The tongue body defines an upper surface that includes a wheelbarrow intermediate support surface configured for engaging a lower surface of the wheelbarrow. In some forms, without detaching the hitch end of the tongue from the towing vehicle, the wheelbarrow may be selectively pivoted between a transport position of the wheelbarrow in which the lower surface of the wheelbarrow is supported by the intermediate support surface of the tongue, and a dump position whereat the lower surface of the wheelbarrow is pivoted away from the intermediate support surface of the tongue.

Trolley system and method for transferring cargo in relation to a cargo compartment of a vehicle
A trolley system for transferring cargo in relation to a cargo compartment of a vehicle includes a frame defining a cargo-retaining platform. The cargo-retaining platform is configured to receive and retain the cargo. At least a portion of a lower surface of the frame is formed of a low friction material. One or more handles are moveably coupled to the frame. The handle(s) are configured to be moved between a retracted position and an extended position. One or more attachments are configured to secure the cargo on the cargo-retaining platform.
LAWN ROLLER-WHEELBARROW
Implementations of a lawn roller-wheelbarrow are provided. The lawn roller-wheelbarrow comprises a roller-wheel that can be used to even out a lawn surface and a tray adapted to carry a load. Through the use of a wheel adapted to act as a lawn roller, the tray can be used to transport a load without leaving a track, or potentially creating a rut, in the lawn surface. The preferred implementation of the lawn roller-wheelbarrow comprises: a frame that includes a pair of handles, a tray mounted on the frame that is adapted for carrying a load, and a roller-wheel rotatably mounted to the frame. The roller-wheel has the general shape of a cylinder and a length L that is greater than its width W (or diameter).
