Abstract
A cart includes a platform assembly, a handle assembly, first wheel assembly and a second wheel assembly. In use, the cart may folded from a deployed position in which it rolls along a surface to transport items, to a stowed position, in which it is collapsed in a compact geometry for storage. The cart may be further integrated into a chair, chaise lounge, garden cart, bicycle utility cart or a bicycle passenger cart.
Claims19
A cart comprising:
- a support assembly including:
- a seat member comprising a frame and supporting material coupled to the frame, wherein the seat member defines a seating surface configured to support an object,
- a first leg member coupled to the seat member frame, and
- a second leg member coupled to the seat member frame, the second leg member includes a first portion and a second portion laterally spaced from the first portion;
- an axle coupled to the first portion and second portion of the second leg member, the axle extending from the first portion to the second portion, the axle including a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end of the axle extending beyond the first portion of the second leg member and the proximal end of the axle extending beyond the second portion of the second leg member, the distal end of the axle includes a first aperture and a second aperture laterally spaced from the first aperture;
- a resilient member disposed within the axle and at least partially extending through the first aperture and the second aperture on the distal end of the axle;
- and
- at least one wheel rotatably coupleable to the distal end of the axle between the first aperture and the second aperture.
