Description

Folding cart

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a cart folding. As stated in the statement, it is a device intended to transport a load on wheels to reduce the effort necessary for its displacement, with a structure articulated that allows its reduction to become a body compact.

Background of the invention

Various types of folding carts are known, such as supermarket calls used by the housewives of house when making your purchases, and the like. They can also such carts are equated with folding strollers for children, reducible in size to be able to be transferred, for example, in the trunk of a car. The folding of said carts is carried out with more or less difficulty.

Brief Description of the Invention

The cart object of this description is distinguished by its simplicity and robustness of structure, its ease folding and unfolding safely, and its applicability to specific uses, such as, for example, to transport sporting goods, such as golf clubs and the like.

The folding body of the new cart incorporates a container of the items to be moved, which can be separated, if desired, and transported in a shoulder strap.

To facilitate the explanation, the present description of some drawings in which it has been represented, by way of illustrative and non-limiting example a case of 1 realization of a folding cart, according to the principles of claims.

Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1 shows the new cart, deployed and without its container component.

Figure 2 shows the new carrier device in the final phase of its folding, and figure 3 presents the cart fully folded

Figure 4 represents the container separately belonging to the new cart, and figure 5 the device deployed and with its container attached.

Detailed description of the invention

The designated elements with numbers in the Drawings correspond to the parts indicated below.

The cart object of this invention consists of a body formed by two supporting parts 1 and 2 of configuration light, strong and rigid, rectangular and size laminar substantially equivalent, preferably reinforced by nerves Longitudinal 8.

Part 2 has at one end a handle 3 by way of of handle bar and articulates to part 1 thanks to some ears 4 derived from the latter, to which correspond some Curvilinear projections of the first. These ears, with respective 5 bolts, define articulation hinges for the rotation of the pieces 1 and 2 between the deployed position, according to figure 1, until folding, according to figures 2 and 3.

The other end of part 2, articulated to the part 1, has at its end 6 the transverse side 7 reinforced to ensure the coupling of the two parts 1 and 2 in position of deployed.

The two arms 11, provided with wheels 12 in their ends, articulate in the projections 13, allowing its in the been retracted from the cart, being attached to the sides of the body of the latter, according to figures 2 and 3, and their deployment according to figure 1. The rods 15, articulated at their ends, respectively, in part 2 and in arms 11, they ensure the rigidity and strength of the structure in the functional use of trolley.

The other end of part 1 is articulated by means of a hinge 10 a support 9 in the form of a plate, preferably circular, with a peripheral flange.

The container that forms a separable part of the cart consists of a body 16 as a general bag cylindrical, whose circular bottom 17 corresponds to the shape circular of the support 9 and will be temporarily retained by the peripheral flange of this one.

The upper circular base 18 constitutes a lid articulated with a closure 19, allowing the loading of items in the container at the top of it. The part side of the body 16 advantageously has a wide opening, closed by a rectangular flap 20 and a zip closure, which it allows access to the interior of the container through its middle area, and It is equipped with an outer pocket 21. The straps 22 facilitate the container transport, separated from the cart structure and Carried in a shoulder bag.

The described device can serve, for example, as a golf cart or trolley and as an aid in other sports activities.

The invention, within its essentiality, may be put into practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example in the description, and which will also achieve the protection that is collected. It can, therefore, be built in any shape and size with the most appropriate materials and means for keeping all this included in the spirit of the claims.

Claims (4)
