A multifunction garden cart, that can carry builders sack, where the cart is comprised of U-shaped chassis built of side rods connected by front rod. The U-shaped chassis is connected to two wheels attached at the center of the side rods. Various types of handles can be connected to the front rod, so it can be moves by a person or attached to a towing vehicle. Two rods pivotally attached to the side rods, can be secured vertically to the plane of the U-shaped chassis. A closed square top frame for use as builders sack support, is removably, pivotally attached at the top of the vertical rods.

A foldable tray device for a gas cylinder of a stove includes a tray body, a connecting rod and a base. A plurality of universal wheels are arranged at a lower end of the tray body. The connecting rod has an end fixed to a side wall of the tray body and another end hingedly coupled to the base. A locking mechanism is arranged between the another end of the connecting rod and the base. A fixing mechanism configured to be connected to a frame of the stove is arranged on the base.

Systems and methods are disclosed for foldable containers for manual and robotic use. In one embodiment, an example foldable container may include a first container wall, a second container wall configured to rotate outwards in a first direction with respect to the first container wall, and a bottom container platform configured to rotate outwards in a second direction with respect to the first container wall. The bottom container platform may include an automatic locking mechanism configured to engage with the second container wall when the foldable container is in an unfolded position, where the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Some embodiments may include a number of wheels. The foldable container may be configured to be transported using (i) the plurality of wheels via manual pushing, and (ii) robotic manipulation to lift and move the foldable container.

The present invention relates to self-propelled airside dollies (100), and particularly but not exclusively to airside baggage dollies and airside cargo dollies, and autonomous airside dollies. The self-propelled airside dolly comprises a cargo portion (104) configured to hold baggage or cargo, a drive system (108) for driving the self-propelled airside dolly (100), a controller (114) configured to control the drive system (108) in response to control signals and a processor (116) configured to provide the control signals to the controller (114).

A folding dolly system, a base unit of a folding dolly system, and methods of forming and using a folding dolly system are presented. A folding dolly system comprises a plurality of interconnectable base units connected to form a substantially planar holding surface, each base unit comprising a first edge with a number of knuckles configured to form a joint, a second edge with a number of knuckles configured to form a joint, and a surface forming a portion of the holding surface.

A method includes receiving, at a robot being in communication with a control center communication module of a control center, an instruction to relocate a cart to a location where a set of items are stored. The method further includes moving, by the robot, to a second location where the cart is positioned; (2) activating, by the robot, a motor of a latch fastening system to cause movement of a latch arm resulting in a latch being exposed; (3) removably engaging, by the robot and using the latch, the cart via a latching feature of the cart; (4) moving, by the robot, the cart from the second location to the location where the set of items are stored; and (5) transitioning, by the robot, a subset of the set of items to the cart in accordance with the instruction.

In some implementations, a utility cart includes (a) a cargo hold having a cargo bed; (b) an assembly having a wheel arm having a first catch, a handle arm having a second catch, and a wheel; the wheel arm and handle arm coupled together at an angle and adjacent a pivot point; the wheel rotatably coupled to a distal end of the wheel arm; (c) a locking mechanism and a spring member, the locking mechanism having a first locking pin and a second locking pin; and (d) a plurality of bearing wheels disposed below a bottom surface of the cargo bed.

An all-terrain gear cart convertible between manual propulsion and trailering and a towing system for establishing a towing relationship between the cart and a towing vehicle. The towing system has a reverse hook structure with first and second towing hooks and a latch member for selectively retaining an engaging portion of a tow and control handle within the towing hooks. A retaining formation of the latch member can be selectively retained by a receiving latch. The reverse hook structure can be formed with a rack affixed to the towing vehicle, or first and second anterior attachment hooks can selectively hook the reverse hook structure to a preexisting rack of the towing vehicle. The gear cart can have a pivotable tailgate and a selectively extendable cargo bed extension structure. The left, right, and anterior frame sections of the cart can be independently pivotable to facilitate achievement of a flatbed configuration.
