Abstract
A cart for transporting materials along a floor having a base positioned parallel to the floor. Positioned above the base is a rectangular cover having a first side edge, a second side edge and a back edge defining three sides of a rectangle. A first side support, a second side support and a back support each extend from the base to the cover. Four vertical supports extend from the base to contact the cover at four points substantially aligned with a first diagonal of the rectangle.

A cart for transporting materials along a floor, comprising:
- a generally horizontal rectangular base positioned parallel to said floor and having a front edge, a back edge opposite said front edge, a first side edge attached to said front and back edges, and a second side edge opposite said first side edge and attached to said front and back edges;
- a first generally vertical side wall supported on said first side edge of said base;
- a second generally vertical side wall supported on said second side edge of said base;
- a back wall supported on said back edge of said base and attached to said first and second side walls;
- a cover supported on said back wall and said first and second side walls;
- four inner vertical frame members extending upward from said base and contacting said cover, wherein an end of each inner vertical frame member is inserted within an opening located on said base and another end of each inner vertical frame member is inserted within an opening located in said cover;
- four outer vertical frame members extending upward from said base and contacting said cover and separated from said four inner vertical frame members by said first and second side walls, back wall and front door, wherein each of said outer vertical frame members are attached to a corner of said base and said cover.
A cart for transporting materials along a floor, comprising:
- a base positioned parallel to said floor;
- a vertical first side wall supported on said base;
- a vertical second side wall supported on said base;
- a vertical back wall supported on said base and attached to said first and second side walls;
- a cover positioned above said back wall and said first and second side walls;
- four inner vertical frame members attached to said base and extending upward from said base and contacting said cover, said four inner frame members partially supporting the weight of said cover;
- four outer frame members attached to said base and extending upward from said base and contacting said cover and separated from said four inner vertical frame members by said first and second side walls and said back wall, said four outer vertical frame members partially supporting the weight of said cover.
A cart for transporting materials along a floor, comprising:
- a generally horizontal base:
- a rectangular cover positioned above said base having a first side edge, a second side edge and a back edge defining three sides of a rectangle;
- a first side support attached to said generally horizontal base and extending from said base to said cover;
- a second side support attached to said generally horizontal base and extending from said base to said cover;
- a back support attached to said generally horizontal base and extending from said base to said cover;
- four first vertical supports attached to said generally horizontal base and extending from said base to said cover, said four first vertical supports contacting said cover at four points, wherein said four points are substantially aligned with each other in a plane that intersects a first diagonal of said rectangle.
