Collapsible baggage cart

A cart for baggage, comprising

• A. a main frame including
• 1. spaced apart vertically extending elements,
• 2. an upper cross-element for connecting said elements at the upper end thereof,
• 3. a lower cross-element for connecting said elements at the lower end thereof,
• B. laterally spaced wheels rotatably mounted at the lower end of said main frame outwardly of each of said vertically extending elements for movement of the cart along a supporting surface,
• C. a handle adapted to be gripped by the user of the cart, said handle including a pair of spaced apart elongated resilient arms, each of said arms terminating in a free end, said arms adapted to have said free end of each said arm inwardly disposed,
• D. mounting means for obtaining releasable interlocking relationship of said handle in either a stable position extending upwardly from said main frame in readiness for use or in a collapsed position in which said handle and said main frame are relatively positionable in substantially contiguous planes, said mounting means comprising
• l. a pair of vertically oriented members inwardly disposed of each of said elements and connected to said upper and lower cross-elements,
• 2. each of said members terminating in an inwardly disposed catch extending above said upper cross-element,
• 3. a first cross-member mounted between said members below said upper cross-element, said free end of each said arms pivotally mounted on said first cross-member, such that in said stable position each said arm extends vertically between a respective catch and said upper cross-element to prevent pivotal movement, and inwardly positioning of each of said arms on said first cross-member beyond said catches permits said handle to be pivotally moved to said collapsed position,
• E. a lower frame articulately connected to said main frame for movement relative thereto between a closed position substantially coplanar with said main frame to an open position where said lower frame projects forwardly from said main frame for supporting baggage thereon,
• F. an auxiliary frame articulately connected to said lower frame for movement relative thereto between a closed position wherein said auxiliary frame projects downwardly from said lower frame and being engageable with the supporting surface, and
• G. linkage means for simultaneously moving said auxiliary frame in unison with said lower frame between said open and closed positions.
