Abstract
A cart may include a door forming a bed of the cart and a pair of wheel attachment assemblies. Each wheel attachment assembly may include (a) a fender having a planar expanse configured to abut a lower major face of the door, (b) a clamping member coupled to the fender, the clamping member configured to be coupled to an upper major face of the door and abut an edge face of the door, and (c) a wheel fork coupled to the fender and configured to be coupled to an axle of a wheel. The cart may include a handle clamp configured to be coupled to an edge portion of the planar member and a handle configured to be coupled to the handle clamp.
Claims20
A kit for converting a door into a cart, the kit comprising:
- a pair of wheel attachment assemblies, each wheel attachment assembly including:
- a fender having a planar expanse with a first portion of the planar expanse configured to abut an under side of a door when the door is in a non-vertical orientation and a second portion of the planar expanse configured to extend beyond a lateral edge of the door;
- a clamping member coupled to the fender, the clamping member having an upper portion configured to be coupled a top side of the door when the door is in a non-vertical orientation and a side portion configured to abut the lateral edge of the door;
- an inner fork arm coupled to the first portion of the planar expanse of the fender;
- an outer fork arm coupled to the second portion of the planar expanse of the fender;
- an inner wheel attachment member coupled to the inner fork arm proximate a bottom end of the inner fork arm;
- and
- an outer wheel attachment member coupled to the outer fork arm proximate a bottom end of the outer fork arm;
- wherein a channel between the clamping member and the fender is sized to receive an edge portion of a door;
- wherein the inner and outer wheel attachment members each include a first slot having an open end, the slot being configured to receive an axle of a bicycle wheel;
- and
- wherein each of the inner and outer wheel attachment members further includes a second slot having an open end, the first and second slots having different widths and being configured to receive axles of different sizes.
