Abstract
A wheeled carrier according to aspects of the disclosure includes a concave base coupled to a durable fabric body. A pair of wheels is connected to the base and an ergonomic telescoping handle, spaced from a central axis of the wheels, is connected to the base providing a user with a carrier having even weight distribution and storage on both sides of the telescoping handle. The fabric body and internal pocket sleeves provide a plurality of organizational structures inside the wheeled carrier for tools, spare parts, and other equipment.
Claims24
A wheeled carrier comprising:
- a base having a bottom surface, opposing first and second ends and opposing first and second lateral sides between the first and second ends;
- a body extending upward from the base, said body defining an interior;
- a pair of wheels connected to the base, wherein the pair of wheels are configured to rotate about an axis, and wherein the axis is proximate the second end;
- a support extending from the first and second lateral sides of the base to an apex, said apex of the support defining an opening;
- and
- a telescoping handle assembly projecting from a center of the bottom surface of the base, said telescoping handle assembly projecting through the opening defined by the apex with a handle portion configured to ergonomically aid a user in moving the wheeled carrier, wherein the telescoping handle assembly is configured to at least partially divide the interior of the wheeled carrier;
- wherein the telescoping handle assembly includes the handle portion exterior to the body and two legs extending from the base to the handle portion, the two legs positioned inboard from each of the first and second lateral sides;
- wherein the wheeled carrier further comprises replaceable pocket sleeve panels on opposite sides of the two legs between the base and the apex of the support.
