Industrial cart with interchangeable accessories

A combination of an industrial cart and an accessory comprising:

• the industrial cart comprising a frame having first and second lateral support members, first and second longitudinal support members and first and second retaining blocks, each lateral support member having first and second ends, each longitudinal support member having first and second ends, the first end of the first longitudinal support member connected with the first lateral support member at a position which is spaced from the first end of the first lateral support member, the second end of the first longitudinal support member connected with the second lateral support member, the first end of the second longitudinal support member connected with the first lateral support member at a position which is spaced from the second end of the first lateral support member, the second end of the second longitudinal support member connected with the second lateral support member, said first retaining block extending from said first longitudinal support member and positioned proximate to, but spaced from, the first end of said first longitudinal support member such that a first space is formed between said first retaining block and the first lateral support member, said second retaining block extending from said second longitudinal support member and positioned proximate to, but spaced from, the first end of said second longitudinal support member such that a second space is formed between said second retaining block and the first lateral support member;
• said accessory comprising first and second upright legs attached to each other by a first cross leg, said first upright leg seats in said first space and said second upright leg seats in said second space;
• and
• a locking mechanism, wherein in use, said locking mechanism is engaged between the second retaining block to the second upright leg to lock the accessory to the industrial cart, said locking mechanism can be disengaged to remove said accessory from the industrial cart.

An industrial cart comprising:

• a frame including first and second lateral support members, first and second longitudinal support members and first and second retaining blocks,
• each lateral support member having first and second ends,
• each longitudinal support member having first and second ends, the first end of the first longitudinal support member connected with the first lateral support member at a position which is spaced from the first end of the first lateral support member, the second end of the first longitudinal support member connected with the second lateral support member, the first end of the second longitudinal support member connected with the first lateral support member at a position which is spaced from the second end of the first lateral support member, the second end of the second longitudinal support member connected with the second lateral support member,
• the first retaining block extending from the first longitudinal support member, the first retaining block positioned proximate to, but spaced from, the first end of the first longitudinal support member such that a first space is formed between the first retaining block and the first lateral support member,
• the second retaining block extending from the second longitudinal support member, the second retaining block positioned proximate to, but spaced from, the first end of the second longitudinal support member such that a second space is formed between the second retaining block and the first lateral support member, the second retaining block having a passageway therethrough which is in direct communication with the second space;
• and
• a rotatable fastener mounted through the passageway of the second retaining block, the fastener being rotatable relative to the second retaining block such that an end of the fastener can enter into and out of the second space.
