Abstract
The hand dolly with unloading mechanism comprises a hand dolly and an unloading mechanism. The hand dolly may be a manually-operated handcart that may be operable to move a payload. A base plate of the hand dolly may be pushed under the payload and the hand dolly may be tilted away from the payload such that a frame of the hand dolly and the base plate support the weight of the payload. The hand dolly may be pushed to move the payload, taking advantage of reduced friction offered by a pair of wheels on the hand dolly. The unloading mechanism may be a hand-operated mechanism for pushing the bottom of the payload off of the base plate.
Claims17
A hand dolly with unloading mechanism comprising:
- a hand dolly and an unloading mechanism;
- wherein the hand dolly is a manually-operated handcart that is operable to move a payload;
- wherein a base plate of the hand dolly is pushed under the payload and the hand dolly is tilted away from the payload such that a frame of the hand dolly and the base plate support the weight of the payload;
- wherein the hand dolly is pushed to move the payload, taking advantage of reduced friction offered by a pair of wheels on the hand dolly;
- wherein the unloading mechanism is a hand-operated mechanism for pushing the bottom of the payload off of the base plate;
- wherein the frame comprises a left side rail, a right side rail, and a top handlebar;
- wherein the left side rail and the right side rail are vertically-oriented armatures located on opposing sides of the frame;
- wherein the bottoms of the left side rail and the right side rail are coupled to the base plate;
- wherein the top handlebar is a horizontally-oriented armature coupled to the tops of the left side rail and the right side rail;
- wherein the top handlebar is adapted for a user to grasp while pushing the hand dolly;
- wherein the base plate is a forward extending ledge located at a bottom of the hand dolly;
- wherein the base plate is operable to slide under the payload and to lift the payload as the hand dolly is tilted rearwards;
- wherein the base plate is an L-shape comprising a horizontal plate and a vertical plate;
- wherein the horizontal plate is larger than the vertical plate and is operable to slide under the payload;
- wherein the vertical plate is located at a rear of the horizontal plate and extends vertically upwards;
- wherein the left side rail, the right side rail, and the center rail are coupled to the vertical plate.
