Abstract
The invention relates to a collapsible cart capable of occupying a compact collapsed position and a deployed in-use position. In accordance with the invention, the collapsible cart comprises two half-risers (1a, 1b) hinged to a hinge piece (2) to form a rectilinear riser (1) when in the deployed position, two side legs (3a, 3b) hinged to the same hinge piece (2) and fitted with respective wheels (4a, 4b), and links (5a & 5b, 6a & 6b) connecting each of said half-risers and said side legs to a central post (7). The cart is particularly suited to carrying a golf bag and clubs.
Claims13
A collapsible cart intended in particular for carrying a load such as a golf bag and clubs, the cart being capable of taking up a first, collapsed position in which it is compact, and a second, deployed position, the cart comprising:
- a plurality of half-risers hinged together at adjacent ends to a common hinge piece such that in the deployed position said two half-risers are substantially in alignment and constitute an elongated, upwardly sloping, central riser, each of said half-risers including a load-fixing means for receiving a bag or the like extending along said deployed central riser, a lower one of said half-risers forming a strut having a lower free end adapted to stand on the ground;
- a plurality of side legs each hinged at one end to said hinge piece and each having its other, free end provided with wheel means such that in the deployed position said side legs slope obliquely as does said central riser, with said lower free end of said strut and said wheels on said side legs forming a triangle on the ground;
- a set of links connecting each half-riser and each side leg to a central interconnecting post such that in said collapsed position said side legs and said half-risers are substantially parallel to one another and all of them are situated on the same side of said hinge piece.
