Abstract
A handcart for manually conveying objects on a pair of railroad rails includes a first structure having a first end and a second end, the first end having a first opening therein, a second structure attached to the first support bar such that a frame is formed between the first and second structures by one or more crossbeams, and a first wheel assembly having a first wheel and a first axle extending therefrom, the first axle detachably locked via the first axle positioned in the first opening.
Claims22
A handcart for manually conveying objects on a pair of railroad rails, the handcart comprising:
- a first structure having a first end and a second end, the first end having a first opening therein;
- a second structure attached to the first support bar such that a frame is formed between the first and second structures by one or more crossbeams;
- and
- a first wheel assembly having a first wheel and a first axle extending therefrom, the first axle detachably locked via the first axle positioned in the first opening.
A method of fabricating a handcart for manually conveying objects on a pair of railroad rails, the method comprising:
- providing a first structure having a first end and a second end, the first end having a first opening therein;
- attaching a second structure to the first support bar such that a frame is formed between the first and second structures by one or more crossbeams;
- providing a first wheel assembly having a first wheel and a first axle extending therefrom;
- and
- detachably locking the first axle in the first opening.
A method of modifying a handcart for conveying objects on a pair of railroad rails, the method comprising:
- providing a handcart that includes at least one wheel having a welded axle that is welded to a frame of the handcart;
- cutting the welded axle to remove the at least one wheel from the handcart;
- and
- welding a wheel assembly to the handcart at a location proximate where the welded axle was cut;
- wherein the wheel assembly includes a structure having an opening therein, the wheel assembly having a first wheel having a first axle extending therefrom and detachably locked to the structure via the first axle within the opening.
