Abstract
A carriage having a frame which includes a plurality of elongated frame components. A first attachment point couples a first and second elongated frame component. A second attachment point couples a third and fourth elongated frame component. A transverse elongated frame component couples to the first and second attachment points. A rotation lock is disposed on the transverse elongated frame component. The rotation lock is configured to prevent rotation of the transverse elongated frame component in a locked configuration.
Claims20
A carriage, comprising:
- a frame comprising a plurality of elongated frame components;
- a first attachment point coupling a first and second elongated frame component;
- a second attachment point coupling a third and fourth elongated frame component;
- a transverse elongated frame component coupled to the first and second attachment points;
- and
- a rotation lock disposed on the transverse elongated frame component and configured to prevent rotation of the transverse elongated frame component in a locked configuration.
A carriage, comprising:
- a frame configured to fold between a use position and a storage position;
- a first attachment point configured to attach a plurality of elongated frame components and a second attachment point configured to attach a plurality of elongated frame components, wherein the frame is configured to fold at the first and second attachment points;
- and
- a transverse elongated frame component connecting the first and second attachment points,
- wherein the transverse elongated frame component comprises a rotation lock having an actuation member configured to unlock the rotation lock, wherein the actuation member is disposed entirely between the first attachment point and the second attachment point.
A method for folding a carriage to a storage position, comprising:
- displacing a pin to unlock a rotation lock, wherein the rotation lock is coupled to a transverse elongated frame component and disposed between a first and second attachment point, wherein the transverse elongated frame component is coupled to the first and second attachment points, and wherein the first attachment point couples a first and second elongated frame component of the carriage and the second attachment point couples a third and fourth elongated frame component of the carriage;
- and
- rotating the transverse elongated frame component about a longitudinal axis.
