Claims20
A collapsible drivable electric cart with a compartment foldable between an open condition forming a compartment and a closed condition, the collapsible drivable electric cart comprising:
- a foldable frame having a bottom assembly, a front assembly, a rear assembly, and two side assemblies, each of the side assemblies comprising:
- a front section having a frontmost extent and a rearmost extent, the front section being pivotally coupled at its frontmost extent to the front assembly;
- a rear section having a frontmost extent and a rearmost extent, the rear section being pivotally coupled at its rearmost extent to the rear assembly;
- and
- a central section longitudinally defined between a first pivotal connection at the rearmost extent of the front section and a second pivotal connection at the frontmost extent of the rear section, the central section comprising cross brace members extending from the front section to the rear section;
- a detachable battery assembly;
- a first electrical line connected to the detachable battery assembly;
- a plurality of wheel assemblies, one or more of which is motor-driven and powered by the first electrical line;
- and
- a handle pivotally coupled to the front assembly of the collapsible drivable electric cart
- wherein in the open condition, the front assembly and rear assembly extend upwardly from opposite ends of the bottom assembly, each side assembly extends upwardly between the front and rear assemblies along a respective lateral edge of the bottom assembly, such that the foldable frame defines an open-topped compartment;
- and
- wherein in the closed condition, the front assembly, rear assembly and side assemblies are folded inwardly toward the bottom assembly, thereby forming a compact structure for storage or transport.
A collapsible drivable electric cart with a compartment foldable between an open condition forming a compartment and a closed condition, the collapsible drivable electric cart comprising:
- a foldable frame having a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth assemblies, the third and fourth assembles are rigid, adapted to fold laterally inwardly, and comprising:
- a front section having a frontmost extent and a rearmost extent, the front section being pivotally coupled at its frontmost extent to the first assembly;
- a rear section having a frontmost extent and a rearmost extent, the rear section being pivotally coupled at its rearmost extent to the second assembly;
- and
- a central section longitudinally defined between a first pivotal connection at the rearmost extent of the front section and a second pivotal connection at the frontmost extent of the rear section, the central section comprising diagonal members extending from the front section to the rear section;
- a detachable battery assembly;
- a first electrical line connected to the detachable battery assembly;
- a plurality of wheel assemblies, one or more of which is motor-driven and powered by the first electrical line;
- a handle connected to the first assembly of the collapsible drivable electric cart;
- and
- a second electrical line connecting the detachable battery assembly to the handle.
