Abstract
ABSTRACT
A refuse cart for use in conjunction with a flexible collection bag comprising a tubular frame composed of two identical upper and lower tubular frame parts, each frame part having two spaced-apart, parallel straight portions lying in a common plane, each straight portion of each frame part having a free end and being continuous at the opposite end with an end of a loop portion which is common to both straight portions of the respective frame part, and each loop portion lying in a plane which is generally transverse to the plane of said straight portions.
Quick-connection elements releasably connect the free ends of one of the frame parts to the free ends of the other frame part. Ground engageable wheels are carried by the one end of the frame. A ring suitable for connection to the open top of a flexible collection bag, is releasably attached to the rearwardly-extending loop portion at a location forward of the handle-forming part. The ring extends forwardly over at least a portion of the forwardly extending loop portion so that the latter can support the bottom of a collection bag.

Description
~ ~811~
~,' . .
The present invention relates to a cart for collection and transportation of leaves and refuse in general especially for gardening, and in particular to a refuse cart for use in conjuction with a flexible collecting bag.
It is known that in the autumn season one of the ~ major gardening tasks is the collection of leaves which fall i from the various plants of the garden.
The object of the present invention is to accomplish a cart which would ease the collection and transportation of leaves on such occasions.
Another object of the present invention is to accomplish a cart which can be used also for the collection of refuse in general both in the garden and outside thereof such as in industrial plants, warehouses and other places.
Still another object of the present invention is to accomplish a cart having extremely simple construction and which lends itself to disassembly in pieces of small size .
Still another object of the present invention is to accomplish a cart taking into account the practices and standards of the principal foreign countries so that it would be apropriate not only for Italy ~but also for other countries.
According to the present invention, there is provided a refuse cart for use in conjunction with a flexible collection bag comprising:
- a tubular frame composed of two identical upper and lower tubular frame parts, each frame part having two spaced-apart, parallel straight portions lying in a common plane, each straight portion of each frame part having a free end and being continuous at the opposite end with an end of a loop portion which is common to both straight portions of the respective frame part, and each loop portion ~A

; lying in a plane which is generally transverse to the plane ,! of said straight poritons, said free ends of one of the frame parts being disposed coaxially end-to-end with said I free ends of the other frame part and the relationship of ! 5 the two frame parts being such that the loop portion of the lower frame part extends forwardly from said straight portions to form a ground-engageable support at one end of }; said frame and the loop portion of the upper frame part extends rearwardly from said straight portions to form a handle at the opposite end of said frame;
- quick-connection means releasably connecting said free ends of one of said frame parts to said free ends of said other frame part;
, - ground engageable wheels carried by said one end of said frame; and - a ring suitable for connection to the open top of a flexible collection bag, said ring being releasably attached to said rearwardly-extending loop portion at a location forward of said handle-forming part, said ring 20 - extending forwardly over at least a portion of said forwardly extending loop portion so that the latter can support the bottom of a collection bag.
Preferably the means releasaply connecting the free ends of the frame parts includes: a sleeve rotatable on each of said free ends, a radial outwardly-extending flange on each free end for retaining the respective sleeve on the respective free end and complementary threads on each pair of end-to-end sleeves whereby such end-to-end sleeves can be connected and disconnected from each other by relative rotation.
; This is a cart adaptable to many uses and simple in structure which can be disassembled in several parts easy to transport and store in particular if as preferred the parts of the bearing structure are made in such a manner 12~
.`
9 as to be exactly the same even as to dimensions.
It is also preferable to provide that the ring for attachment of the bag be cut with a transversal split capable of allowing it a change in perimeter, expansion and restriction even limited. In this manner it can be easily and automatically adapted to differing widths of the , collection bag as are often found both in Italy and abroad.
Once the dimensions of the ring have been determined for larger bags the ring will be capable of accepting smaller bags with simpIe and limited bending.
the characteristics of the present invention will be made even clearer by the following detailed description of a practical embodiment thereof illustrated as an example in the annexed drawings wherein:
Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a cart in accordance with the invention with a bag applied, Fig. 2 shows a front view of said cart from the ~88~1X
/
side opposite the controlling side, ~ . 3 shows a right side view of said cart with i res~ect to Fig. 2 with one wheel removed for drafting convenience, Fig. 4 shows the enlarged detail of a joint area between the two parts of the bearing structure.
The cart shown in the drawings comprises a tubular bearing structure l formed of two identic-al superimposed parts 2 and 3 of which the upper lO part 2 has a horizontal portion 4 designed to act as the control handle, two portions mounted paral-lel 5, and two intermediate connecting portions 6, t and the lower one 3 has a horizontal portion 7 designed to act as the countering element resting on the ground, two rising portions 8, and two intermediate connecting portions 9.
To the lower part 3 of the bearing structure l is fixed separably by means of clamps lO (Figs. 2 and 3) the common shaft ll of a pair of wheels 12 20 designed for moving the cart.
The two structural parts 2 and 3 are separably joined together by means of a pair of couplings 13 which hold together integrally the rising portions 5 and 8 of the two parts, holding them in alignment with each other. As shown in detail in Fig. 4 each coupling 13 is formed of a male sleeve 14 and a female sleeve 15 mounted in a turning manner on the facing ends of the aforesaid rising portions 5 and 8 and screwed together. End beads 16 and 17 on the rising portions 5 and 8 retain ~ 2~8~Z
:
axially the respective sleeves 14 and 15, pre-venting re~spectively lowering of the former and rising of the latter and hence holding in position the coupling 13 which in turn holds together the two structural parts 2 and 3.
On the portions of the union 6 of the upper part , 2 of the bearing structure l is superimposed and i fixed separably by means of clamps 18 (Figs. l and 3) an approximately square ring l9 suitable for attachment of the open top duly rolled up of a flexible collection bag for leaves and refuse in general (Fig. l). A transverse slit 21 is cut in one side of the ring 19 (Fig. 2) to allow a change, however small, in its curcumference.
A square basket 22 is preferably rested on the portions 7 and 9 of the lower part 3 of the bearing structure 1 to support the bottom of the collection bag 20 as it is filled.
