Collapsible movable cart

A movable cart having a collapsible frame which can be manually folded from a fully open position into a folded up or closed position having a narrow lateral profile and refolded back into the fully open position when needed, said frame comprising:

• horizontal support members;
• a pair of legs extending downwardly from each support member, with one leg on each opposite end thereof;
• a pair of side arms, each side arm of said pair of side arms extending between two of the legs on opposite lateral sides of the frame for securing said frame in the unfolded open position with the support members physically spaced apart;
• said side arms each having at least one pivotal connection with a leg such that said side arms are foldable inwardly toward a plane lying substantially transverse to the side arms when unfolded;
• and
• a tray interconnecting the legs of the frame for forming a level platform adjacent a bottom end portion of the cart with the tray being foldable upward and inwardly toward said side arms and toward substantially the same plane toward which said side arms are foldable so that upon folding of said tray, said cart collapses into the closed position with each of said support members being drawn together into close proximity to one another;
• wherein a space is provided between said side arms and said tray to permit folding of said tray upwardly in a direction toward said side arms, so that in said closed position said side arms and said tray do not interfere with each other.

A movable cart having a collapsible frame with the frame being foldable into a collapsed or closed position for forming a narrow lateral profile and being unfoldable into an open position, said frame comprising:

• a pair of transverse support members for supporting a removable storage container when mounted thereon;
• a pair of legs extending downwardly from each support member with one leg on each opposite end of each support member;
• a pair of side arms, each side arm of said pair of side arms extending between two of the legs on opposite lateral sides of the frame for securing said frame in the unfolded open position with the support members physically spaced apart to support the removable storage container, said side arms each having a respective pivotal connection to a leg at at least one side thereof and about which said side arms are pivotable inwardly toward a respective support member;
• and
• a tray interconnecting the legs of the frame for forming a level platform adjacent a bottom end portion of the cart with the tray being foldable inwardly toward said side arms so that upon folding of said tray, said cart collapses into the closed position with each of said support members being drawn together into close proximity to one another;
• and
• wherein a space is provided between said side arms and said tray to permit folding of said tray in a direction toward said side arms even when said side arms are pivoted inwardly, so that said side arms and said tray do not interfere with each other during folding of said cart to said collapsed or closed position.
