Abstract
The present invention is directed to a generally L-shaped frame assembly or dolly for mechanical devices, such as generators. The assembly includes a first and second frame portions. The first frame portion includes intermediate segments which are substantially equal or greater than the length of the mechanical device so as to protect the device and provide a lifting point for hoisting.
Claims22
A portable apparatus, comprising:
- a mechanical device for conducting a task;
- a generally L-shaped frame assembly including:
- a substantially U-shaped first frame portion connected to the mechanical device, the connecting segment of the U forming the first frame portion provides a lift point for hoisting;
- a pair of spaced apart wheel members, mounted to the first frame member, for rolling transport over a surface;
- a foot member connected to the first frame portion at approximately the length of the mechanical device away from the wheel members, the foot member extending generally away from the mechanical device, for supporting the apparatus with the wheels, when the apparatus is rested on a surface;
- a substantially U-shaped second frame portion removably connected to the first frame portion adjacent the wheel members, for manipulating the apparatus during transport;
- and
- means for adjustably securing the first frame portion to the second frame portion;
- wherein the first frame the connecting segment of the first frame portion is at a length of at least one of substantially equal to and greater than the length of the mechanical device.

A portable dolly frame generator, comprising:
- an internal combustion engine for generating mechanical energy;
- an alternator coupled to the engine for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy;
- a generally L-shaped frame assembly including:
- a substantially U-shaped first frame portion, connected to at least one of the engine and the alternator, said alternator disposed generally away from the connecting segment of the U forming the first frame portion, the first frame portion connecting segment providing a lift point for hoisting;
- a pair of spaced apart wheel members, mounted to the first frame member, for rolling transport over a surface;
- a foot member connected to the first frame portion at approximately the length of the mechanical device away from the wheel members, the foot member extending generally away from the mechanical device, for supporting the apparatus with the wheels, when the apparatus is rested on a surface;
- a substantially U-shaped second frame portion removably connected to the first frame portion adjacent the wheel members, for manipulating the apparatus during transport;
- and
- means for adjustably securing the first frame portion to the second frame portion;
- wherein the first frame the connecting segment of the first frame portion is at a length of at least one of substantially equal to and greater than the length of the mechanical device.
