Abstract
Disclosed is a wagon having a basket with an open top through which articles are received to be transported by the wagon. The wagon has a pair of article transport and table flaps that are connected to the top of the basket. The flaps initially hang downwardly against the opposite sides of the basket at which to carry different articles. The flaps are adapted to rotate from a location at the sides of the basket to a location above the top of the basket at which the flaps are connected by zipper fasteners to one another to create a cover to close the top of the basket and form a table extending across the basket. A pull-out rack is carried by the wagon below the basket to be pulled outwardly from the back of the wagon at which to transport another article such as a cooler.
Claims17
A wagon comprising:
- a frame;
- at least one wheel attached to the frame to enable the wagon to roll from place-to-place;
- a basket carried by the frame and having a pair of sides and an open top at which to receive therethrough a variety of articles to be transported by the wagon;
- a first flap located at one of the pair of sides of said basket and having a fastener;
- and
- a second flap located at the other one of the pair of sides of said basket and having a fastener,
- each of said first and second flaps having a top, a bottom, and a pair of sides, the tops of said first and second flaps being pivotally connected to respective ones of the pair of sides of said basket, whereby said first and second flaps are rotatable relative to said basket from a first position lying adjacent the pair of sides of said basket to a second position lying above the open top of said basket at which said first and second flaps are detachably connected one to another by the respective fasteners thereof to create a cover to close the open top of said basket and simultaneously form a table extending across said basket, and
- each of the pair of sides of each of the first and second flaps having a tie down strap extending therefrom, said tie down straps being attached to the frame of said wagon to hold said first and second flaps at said second position under tension at which the open top of said basket is closed and said table is formed across said basket.
A wagon comprising:
- a frame including a basket support rack having first and opposite sides:
- at least one wheel attached to the frame to enable the wagon to roll from place-to-place;
- a basket carried by the frame and being seated on the basket support rack of said frame, said basket having a pair of sides and an open top at which to receive therethrough a variety of articles to be transported by the wagon;
- and
- a pull-out rack having first and opposite sides and lying below said basket and coupled to said basket support rack, said pull-out rack being responsive to a pulling force applied thereto to move relative to said basket support rack between a retracted position lying entirely below said basket and an extended position projecting outwardly from one end of said wagon at which to be located to carry a different article to be transported by the wagon;
- and
- a first U-shaped coupler surrounding a first side of the first and opposite sides of said pull-out rack and being connected by a first fastener to a first side of the first and opposite sides of said basket support rack and a second U-shaped coupler surrounding the opposite side of the first and opposite sides of said pull-out rack and being connected by a second fastener to the opposite side of the first and opposite sides of said basket support rack, said pull-out rack sliding through said first and second U-shaped couplers when said pull-out rack moves back and forth relative to said basket support rack between said retracted and said extended positions.
A wagon comprising:
- a frame;
- at least one wheel attached to the frame to enable the wagon to roll from place-to-place;
- a basket carried by the frame and having a pair of sides, a first fastener at each of said pair of sides, and an open top at which to receive therethrough a variety of articles to be transported by the wagon;
- a first flap located at one of the pair of sides of said basket and a second flap located at the other one of said pair of sides;
- each of said first and second flaps having a top, a bottom, a pair of sides, a second fastener at the top thereof and a third fastener at the bottom thereof;
- the third fasteners at the bottoms of said first and second flaps being detachably connected to respective ones of the first fasteners at the pair of sides of said basket such that said first and second flaps are rotatable relative to said basket from a first position lying adjacent the pair of sides of said basket to a second position lying above the open top of said basket;
- and
- the second fasteners at the tops of said first and second flaps being detachably connected to one another when said pair of flaps are rotated to said second position by which to hold said pair of flaps together and thereby create a cover to close the open top of said basket and simultaneously form a table extending across the top of said basket.
