Abstract
A support device for moving an item on a surface. A main body includes a panel and a sidewall. A handle assembly engages the main body and includes a first transportation mechanism. The support device includes a resistance portion on the main body for engaging a surface and resisting movement of the support device when in a resistive mode. The handle mechanism lowers the first transportation mechanism to engage the surface and disengage the resistance portion from the surface in a transportive mode to encourage movement of the support device and the item supported thereon.
Claims20
A support device comprising:
- a main body having a panel and a sidewall extending therefrom, the main body further having a resistance portion adapted to provide resistance to movement in at least one direction when in contact with a surface;
- a handle assembly partially disposed within the main body, the handle assembly comprising a lever and a first transportation mechanism, the lever having a first portion substantially interior to the main body and hingedly attached to the main body and a second portion substantially exterior to the main body;
- the first transportation mechanism connected to the handle assembly and movable relative to the main body and the surface;
- wherein the resistance portion of the main body is in contact with the surface in a resistive mode and movement of the handle assembly to pivot away from the panel engages the first transportation mechanism with the surface and moving at least a portion of the resistance portion away from the surface in a transportive mode.
A support device comprising
- a main body having a panel and a sidewall extending downward from the periphery of the panel, the sidewall including bottom surface having a resistance portion for engaging a surface to resist movement of the support device;
- a handle assembly hingedly attached at a first end to a bottom surface of the panel and extending through a void in the sidewall;
- the handle assembly further having a first transportation mechanism attached to the handle assembly between the hinged attachment and the void, the handle assembly movable within the void to rotate relative to the main body between a first position and a second position;
- wherein when the handle assembly is in the first position, the first transportation mechanism is disposed within main body and when the handle assembly is in the second position, the first transportation mechanism is at least partially outside of the main body, such that the first transportation mechanism extends below a plane defined by the bottom surface of the sidewall.
