Abstract
A dolly for carrying a panel, the dolly comprising: an elongated base defining a panel receiving portion for receiving the panel thereonto; a wheel mounted to the base; and a handle extending from the base substantially above the wheel.
Description
PANEL CARRIER
Field of the invention This invention is a tool meant to ease the carrying of 4' x 8' and 4' x 12' plywood, drywall and laminate panels by a single person.
Summary of the invention It is well known that a panel is difficult for one person to carry. It is even tiresome for two people to carry for a long distance.
The innovation is the fact that the dolly stands by itself on the lower edge of the panel near the point of equilibrium. The handle of the dolly snaps against the panel, stabilizing the dolly under the weight of the panel. Once this is accomplished, it then becomes very easy for one person to wheel the panel, supported by the carrier, for long distances. Even turning can be accomplished with minimal effort.
The tool is composed of different elements listed here:
[1] : Angle iron vertical part
Field of the invention This invention is a tool meant to ease the carrying of 4' x 8' and 4' x 12' plywood, drywall and laminate panels by a single person.
Summary of the invention It is well known that a panel is difficult for one person to carry. It is even tiresome for two people to carry for a long distance.
The innovation is the fact that the dolly stands by itself on the lower edge of the panel near the point of equilibrium. The handle of the dolly snaps against the panel, stabilizing the dolly under the weight of the panel. Once this is accomplished, it then becomes very easy for one person to wheel the panel, supported by the carrier, for long distances. Even turning can be accomplished with minimal effort.
The tool is composed of different elements listed here:
[1] : Angle iron vertical part
[2] : Angle iron horizontal part
[3] : U shaped metallic tube which will be called a handle
[4] : Upper, inclined part of the handle
[5] : Horizontal part of the handle
[6] : Handle extremities anchored to the horizontal part of the angle iron
[7] : Hard rubber wheel
[8] : Wheel axis
[9] : The carried panel Description of the invention:
The tubular element U shaped [3] is inverted and anchored to the horizontal section of the angle iron [2]. The anchoring is performed on the free edge of the horizontal section of the angle iron [6].
The two vertical sections [3] of the handle can be parallel or on an angle (as represented on the attached FIG.1 and FIG.3). From the side view, the two vertical sections of the handle are perpendicular to the horizontal section of the angle iron (see FIG.2). The hard rubber wheel [7] is situated between the 2 extremities of the handle, and is parallel to the vertical section of the angle iron 41]. The handle [3] presents a 30 degree deviation [4] on the opposite side of the vertical section of the angle iron [1]. The central, horizontal section of the U shaped handle is large enough to accommodate the user's hand.
Use of the invention:
When the tool is used to carry a panel, the tool is placed under the lower 8 or 12 foot side of the panel at the center of the panel's edge. It can then be used not only to move the product but also transport it up stairs and ladders. The panel is held vertically over the horizontal section of the angle iron [2]. The user will stand close to the side of the handle, holding the said handle by its horizontal section [5] with his dominant hand. With his other hand, the user will support the upper edge of the panel. The user then has only one movement to accomplish in order to lift the panel up vertically: stand, straight up, without bending his elbow.
When there is a need to carry the panel for long distances, the panel carrier will be placed under the panel slightly in front of the panel's center (about 40/60). The user will stand at the rear of the panel and will use very little effort to raise the panel back extremity (evaluated at 10 to 15 pounds).
The weight of the panel on the Panel Carrier will automatically close the handle on the panel, which will maintain the panel carrier vertically erected on its wheel.
