Load and/or transport cart

A load and transport cart in the form of a scooter, comprising at least three wheels, two of the wheels being front wheels located proximate a front of the cart and one of the wheels being a rear wheel located proximate a rear of the cart, a handlebar, a loading platform and a footboard which can be folded upward from a use position parallel to a roadway and locked in the upward folded position, wherein:

• the two front wheels are equipped with an inclination mechanism for absorbing centrifugal force during cornering;
• the handlbar is fixedly connected to the loading platform via two steering columns;
• the cart further comprises, under the loading platform, a triangular steering plate and, below the steering plate, a front part of the footboard,
• the steering plate comprises
• a bore, in which a round pin of the front part of the footboard is received,
• an annular-segment shaped groove in which a steering-pivot pin of the front part of the footboard is received and connects the front part of the footboard to the loading platform so that the footboard is rotatable about a steering axis of the cart which is more toward the front of the cart than an axis of rotation of the front wheels,
• an elongated hole in which a round guide pin of the loading platform lies is received, and
• two opposing first ball heads;
• wherein each of the first ball heads is received in an articulated manner in a bearing at one end of a respective one of two steering levers, said levers each have, at another end thereof, a bearing in which a respective second ball head of a respective triangular swinging fork is received, each of the front wheels being rotatably mounted on a stub axle of a respective one of the swinging forks,
• each of the swinging forks is rotatably mounted on the loading platform via respective pivot pins;
• whereby:
• when the loading platform is deflected to the left and right about the steering axis via the handlebar the steering plate presses via the respective first ball heads onto the respective steering levers,
• and so the second ball heads are pressed upward or downward,
• and so the swinging forks are pressed upward or downward about the pivot pins and, therefore, the front wheels are pressed upward or downward by the same amount but in opposite direction,
• and so the two front wheels are slanted to the left or right relative to the roadway during steering,
• and the steering axis, is located in front of the axis of rotation of the front wheels and the front wheels can be deflected to the left or right by the steering angle of 45°.
