COLLAPSIBLE CART
Disclosed is a fixed and mobile-capable collapsible cart (100) that includes a plurality of wheel extend levers (102a, and 102b); a first engage surface (104); a first control surface (106); a first control carriage (108a); connection cables (110a, and 110b); swivel caster trunnions (112a); a locking dog (114); a locking catch (116); and casters (118, and 120). The wheel extend levers (102a, and 102b) are pulled to facilitate the first engage surface (104) to contact with the first control surface (106) on the first control carriage (108a) when the fixed and mobile capable collapsible cart (100) is in a retracted state. When the wheel extend levers (102a, and 102b) are pulled farther, the first control carriage (108a) rotates and pulls the connection cables (110a) causing the swivel caster trunnions (112a) to rotate towards an extended position. The locking dog (114) snaps over the locking catch (116) present on the end of the first control carriage (108a) when the swivel caster trunnions (112a) are in the extended positions to lock the casters (118) into the extend position. The wheel extend levers (102a, and 102b) are released after snapping of the locking dog (114), over the locking catch (116) and a hand lever torsion spring (201) return to a home position.
UTILITY CART
A utility cart includes a base having a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side, and a first channel extending along each of the first side, the second side, the third side and the fourth side. A first, second, third, and fourth support post extends upwardly from the base between respective sides of the base. Each of the support posts has a first end and a second end. A tray is attached to the second end of each of the support posts, and the tray comprises a second channel opening downwards from the tray. A first side panel is positioned between the base, the tray, the first support post, and the second support post. The utility cart further includes a cart handle coupled to the tray and a plurality of wheels secured to a bottom of the base.
Carts with hinges
A cart for transporting objects has a base and a first end wall and an opposite second end wall extending from the base. A sidewall extends from the base and between the end walls such that the base, the first end wall, the second end wall, and the sidewall define an interior space of the cart. A hinge couples a door to the first end wall such that the door can be pivoted into different positions. One or more arms extend into the interior space to support and retain objects therein.
THERMAL CART
A thermal cart for in-flight distribution of consumables. An enclosure is formed by thermally insulating material, including a first side panel, a second side panel, a top panel, a bottom panel, at least one door frame, and a door in each at least one door frame. A rear panel is provided in half-size carts where only one door frame and door are provided. Full size carts ae provided where a rear door frame and rear door are provided instead of a rear panel as used in the half-size cart. The thermally insulating material may include a thermoplastic inner lining, at least one vacuum insulated panel, and an outer structural panel. A plurality of rods is provided, each having end of rod tooling. Complementary tooled structures such as binding barrels, or sleeves, or threaded holes, are provided for joining with ends of the rods. Joints may be provided and secured to locate and provide resistance for securing the rods in tension. Frame assembly extrusions may join adjacent panels, and an inner elastomeric extrusion is provided with each frame assembly extrusion, to provide a seal with the thermoplastic inner lining.
Cart with cabinet closure
One embodiment of the invention provides kit that can be used for closing off the volume between the top and bottom trays of a hand cart for more secure storage of items on the bottom tray. The kit comprises a first wall section, a second wall section, and a third wall section. The first wall section is generally flat. The second wall section has a first generally flat section and a second generally flat section connected by a corner section. The third wall section has a first generally flat section and a second generally flat section connected by a corner section, and a generally flat door section connected to the second generally flat section by a hinge. The kit preferably comprises a plurality of fastener pairs for attaching the wall sections to the angle-stock legs. Preferably, each fastener pair comprises a bolt and a nut, and the kit further comprises a bushing for each fastener pair.
STOCKING CART AND METHOD OF TRANSPORTING ITEMS USING THE SAME
The embodiments described herein are directed to a cart and related methods. The cart includes a base, a plurality of wheels connected to the base, a lower platform mounted to the base, a back panel mounted to the base, a set of lateral panels, an opening side of the cart, and a linking mechanism. The set of lateral panels defines an interior space of the cart. At least one of the set of lateral panels includes a shelf. The shelf is pivotally mounted to a rectangular frame of the at least one of the set of lateral panels. The opening side of the cart is open to provide access to the interior space of the cart. The linking mechanism is configured and arranged to connect the cart to another cart.
Trolley
A trolley (10), primarily for use as a roll cage, includes a base (16) with wheels (18) and a frame (40) located above said base (16). Poles (28, 30, 32, 34) are used to join the frame to the base and a flexible member (14) such as a tarpaulin sheet with latching clamps or a ratchet strap, are used to create tension between the components, to ensure the integrity of the trolley and to reduce the generation of noise when the trolleys is moving in use.
CONTAINER, METHOD FOR DELIVERING A PLURALITY OF ARTICLES, AND METHOD FOR PICKING UP AT LEAST ONE ARTICLE IMPLEMENTING SUCH CONTAINER
A container comprising a carriage including a superposed base, a rack, and a plurality of compartments, a cabinet defining an inner space configured to accommodate the carriage, and a locking system configured to cooperate with an anchorage provided on the ground surface, the locking system presenting a locked state in which removal of the container from the anchorage is prevented, and an unlocked state, wherein the cabinet is mounted on the rack of the carriage and the rack is movable with respect to the base between retracted and extended positions, a skirt of the cabinet masking at least a major portion of the base of the carriage in the retracted position of the rack, the locking system being in the locked state when the rack is in the retracted position.
CART WITH CABINET CLOSURE
One embodiment of the invention provides kit that can be used for closing off the volume between the top and bottom trays of a hand cart for more secure storage of items on the bottom tray. The kit comprises a first wall section, a second wall section, and a third wall section. The first wall section is generally flat. The second wall section has a first generally flat section and a second generally flat section connected by a corner section.
