Abstract
A collapsible shelf and dolly system which may be used in either the capacity of a dolly or as a shelf. The dolly has a frame and a base member upon which objects are mounted during displacement of the dolly. A first shelf mechanism is rotatably coupled to an upper section of the frame and a second shelf mechanism is rotatably coupled to a lower section of the frame with the first and second shelf mechanisms having a first deployment position for mounting objects thereon and a second operational position next to the frame for transporting objects mounted on the base member.
Claims18
A collapsible shelf and dolly system comprising:
- (a) a dolly having a frame and a base member, said frame extending in a substantially vertical plane with respect to said base member extending in a substantially horizontal plane;
- (b) a displacement mechanism mounted to said frame for displacing said shelf and dolly system along a base surface;
- (c) a first shelf mechanism rotatably coupled to an upper section of said frame, said first shelf mechanism includes:
- (i) at least one first shelf mechanism hinge for rotatably coupling a first end of said first shelf mechanism to said frame;
- and,
- (ii) at least one first shelf mechanism support member pivotally coupled to a second end of said first shelf mechanism at a first end of said first shelf mechanism support member;
- and,
- (d) a second shelf mechanism rotatably coupled to a lower section of said frame, said first and second shelf mechanisms having a first deployment position for mounting objects thereon, and a second operational position adjacent said frame for transporting objects mounted on said base member.
