Abstract
A band cart storage system and method having a storage cart that defines a storage area for receiving at least one or a plurality of portable and collapsible band carts and also that is capable of providing a platform that is adjustable for supporting instruments, components or even a person, such as a director or drum major, above the ground.
Claims33
A band cart storage system comprising:
- a storage cart having a first plurality of wheels, said storage cart defining a storage area;
- and
- a plurality of band carts removably stored in said storage area;
- each of said plurality of band carts comprising a first support defining a first support area and a second support defining a second support area, said second support being hingeably coupled to said first support to permit said first support and said second support to be folded or moved between a stored position and an operating position, said first and second supports being generally vertical and in said stored position and generally horizontal in said operating position so that said first and second supports may support band instruments while in said operating position;
- each of said plurality of band carts further comprising a second plurality of wheels for enabling each of said plurality of band carts to be wheeled into and out of said storage area while in the stored position so that each of said plurality of band carts and associated first and second supports become stored generally vertically in said storage area;
- said first plurality of wheels on said storage cart enabling said storage cart to be wheeled in order to transport said plurality of band carts.

A band equipment system comprising:
- a first support;
- a second support;
- and
- at least one of said first support or said second support providing a support platform for a person and the other of said first support or said second support providing a band equipment support;
- wherein said second support is foldable between a stored position and an operating position;
- said second support further comprising:
- a first generally planar member defining a first support area and a second generally planar member defining a second support area;
- a coupling between said first and second generally planar members for hingeably coupling said first and second generally planar members together;
- wherein said second support comprises a folded position during which said first and second generally planar members are generally vertical;

A band cart storage system comprising:
- a storage cart comprising:
- a base having a plurality of wheels;
- a plurality of side walls and a platform that cooperates with said plurality of side walls and said base to define a storage area;
- and
- a plurality of band carts removably situated on said base and in said storage area;
- said plurality of band carts each comprising a first plurality of wheels for moving said plurality of band carts into and out of said storage area;
- wherein each of said plurality of band carts is foldable between a folded position and an operating position;
- wherein each of said plurality of band carts further comprises a first support providing a first support area and a second support defining a second support area, said first and second supports being coupled to permit each of said plurality of band carts to be folded or moved between said folded position and said operating position;
- wherein each of said plurality of band carts is generally vertical when in said folded position and said storage cart receives said plurality of band carts in said storage area while said plurality of band carts are each vertical and in said folded position so that said storage cart can transport said plurality of band carts while they are in a stored and vertical position and stored in said storage area.
