Collapsible Bellman Cart Assembly

A method of forming a collapsible bellman cart assembly, the method comprising:

• providing a deck defined by a first end portion, a second end portion, and a center portion that is pivotably connected to the first end portion;
• providing a cage assembly that is defined by a first cage end that extends from the first end portion of the deck, a second cage end that extends from the second end portion of the deck, and a garment rail that extends between the first cage end and the second cage end and is pivotably connected to the first cage end and removably cooperates with the second cage end;
• providing a rail assembly that connects the first end portion of the deck to the second end portion of the deck such that the first end portion of the deck and the second end portion of the deck are movable between an extended position and a retracted position;
• and
• removing the garment rail from the second cage end and pivoting the garment rail relative to the first cage end and pivoting the center portion of the deck out of alignment with the first end portion and the second end portion of the deck and translating the first end portion of the deck toward the second end of the deck from the extended position toward the retracted position.

A bellman cart assembly comprising:

• a deck assembly defined by respective opposing end portions and a center portion that is pivotably connected to a respective one of the opposing end portions;
• a respective tube assembly extending in an upward direction from each of the respective opposing end portions of the deck assembly;
• a garment rail that extends between the respective tube assemblies and is pivotably connected to one of the respective tube assemblies and selectively removable and securable to an other of the respective tube assemblies;
• a plurality of casters secured to the deck assembly and extending in a direction opposite the respective tube assemblies;
• a hinge connected between the center portion of the deck assembly and the respective one of the opposing end portions to which the center portion is pivotably connected;
• a rail assembly secured to the deck assembly and operable to adjust a distance between the respective opposing end portions of the deck assembly;
• and
• a biasing device connected between the center portion of the deck assembly and a respective one of the opposing end portions and configured to bias the center portion out of alignment with the opposing end portions of the deck assembly.
