Highly stable, continuously adjustable trash can transporter

A trash can transporter comprising:

• a substantially flat platform supported on wheels and having a center, a perimeter, and a minimum diametral platform extension;
• a plurality of radially extending openings in the platform forming guide slots;
• a plurality of guide members adjustably positionable on the platform along the guide slots, whereby each guide member is a plate with a main portion and a base portion narrower than the main portion;
• adjustable attachment means for securing the guide members in corresponding ones of the slots;
• each of said guide members being continuously adjustable over the length of the corresponding slot to fit trash cans of a variety of sizes and to permit the trash can to be removably positioned on the platform while precluding spilling of the trash can, even when the platform is pulled over an uneven surface;
• and
• said platform including raised regions on either side of each guide slot, with the main portion of each plate extending over adjacent raised regions and with the base portion of each plate fitting substantially between the adjacent raised regions, for stabilizing the plates when they are mounted on the platform.

A trash can transporter comprising:

• a substantially flat platform supported on wheels and having a center, a perimeter, and a minimum diametral platform extension;
• a plurality of radially extending openings in the platform forming guide slots with a length at least equal to one-eighth the minimum diametral platform extension;
• a plurality of guide members, each being a plate with a main portion and a base portion narrower than the main portion, adjustably positionable on the platform along the guide slots, each with a vertical extension above the platform equal to at least one-eighth of the minimum diametral platform extension;
• adjustable attachment means for securing the guide members in corresponding ones of the slots;
• each of said guide members being continuously adjustable over the length of the corresponding slot to fit trash cans of a variety of sizes and to permit the trash can to be removably positioned on the platform while precluding spilling of the trash can, even when the platform is pulled over an uneven surface,
• in which,
• a securing rod forming a spine of substantially the same height as the plates is rigidly attached mainly vertically to each of the plates, with a bottom end of each securing rod extending through a respective one of the guide slots for mounting the corresponding plate on the platform.
