FR2585337A1 - TROLLEY FOR THE COLLECTION AND TRANSPORT OF SHEETS AND WASTE IN GENERAL, PARTICULARLY FOR GARDENING - Google Patents

Abstract

THE TROLLEY INCLUDES A LOADING TUBULAR STRUCTURE 1 IN THE FORM OF TWO SIMILAR SUPERIMPOSED PARTS 2, 3 FIXED BETWEEN THEM IN A DETACHABLE MANNER. AN ATTACHMENT RING 19 FOR A COLLECTOR BAG IS DETACHABLY FIXED TO THE UPPER PART 2. THE RING 19 HAS A CROSS-SECTION 21 WHICH MAKES IT ADAPTABLE TO BAGS OF DIFFERENT WIDTHS.

Description

The present invention relates to a cart for pickup

  and the transport of sheets and waste in general, in particular

culier for gardening.

  We know that in the fall season, one of the main gardening jobs is to pick up the falling leaves.

of the different plants in the garden.

  The object of the present invention is to provide a trolley which facilitates the collection and transport of the leaves on these occasions. Another object of the present invention is to provide a trolley which can also be used for collecting waste by

  general, both in the garden and elsewhere, as in workbenches-

  industrial buildings, shops or the like.

  Yet another object of the present invention is to realize

  be an extremely simple construction cart that

  prate to disassembly into small pieces.

  Another object of the invention is finally to achieve a cha-

  riot which takes into account the customs and standards of the main foreign countries, so as to be suitable not only for Italy,

but also for foreigners.

  In view of these aims, the trolley according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a load-bearing structure of tubular type, produced in two superposed parts and fixed between them in a removable manner, the lower part being provided with removable wheels and the upper part forming an operating handle and an attachment ring for a collecting bag, detachably fixed to this upper part of the supporting structure. It is obviously a multi-purpose trolley, of simple structure, which can be dismantled into several parts which are easy to transport and store, in particular if, as it is

  preferable, we make sure that the two parts of the structure

  load-bearing structures are exactly alike, even in

concerns their dimensions.

  It is further preferably provided that the attachment ring of the collecting bag is interrupted by a transverse slot, capable of allowing a variation, although limited, of its perimeter (dilation or tightening). In this way, it can easily and automatically adapt to different widths of the collection bag, which can often be encountered, both in Italy and abroad. Indeed, once the ring has been sized for bags of larger dimensions, it will be able to receive also, with simple bending

  limited, bags of smaller dimensions.

  The characteristics of the present invention will be

  made even more evident by the detailed description which

  follows from one of its practical, illustrated embodiments

  by way of example with the accompanying drawings.

  Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a carriage according to

  the invention, on which a bag is mounted.

  Fig. 2 shows this carriage in a front view from

  the wall opposite to the operating wall.

  Fig. 3 shows this carriage in a side view from the right with respect to FIG. 2, a wheel having been removed

for convenience of drawing.

  Fig. 4 shows the enlarged detail of an assembly area

  between the two parts of the supporting structure.

  The cart shown in the drawings includes a structure

  tubular load-bearing structure 1, formed of two superimposed similar parts 2 and 3, among which the upper part 2 has a horizontal portion 4 suitable for serving as an operating handle, two parallel rising portions 5 and two intermediate junction portions 6, and the portion lower 3 has a horizontal portion 7 suitable for serving as a support element on the ground, two parallel rising portions 8 and

  two intermediate junction portions 9.

  To the lower part 3 of the supporting structure 1 is removably attached, by means of screw stirrups 10 (fig. 2 and 3), the common shaft 11 of a pair of wheels 12 intended for the

moving the carriage.

  The two parts 2 and 3 of the structure are detachably joined together by means of a pair of seals 13 which make the rising portions 5 and 8 of the two parts integral, keeping them aligned with each other. As seen in detail in fig. 4, each joint 13 is formed of a male sleeve 14 and a female sleeve 15 mounted for rotation on the abutting ends of the rising portions 5 and 8 and screwed into one another. The folded ends 16 and 17 of the rising portions 5 and 8 axially maintain the

  respective sleeves 14 and 15, respectively pocketing the

  cente of the first and the ascent of the second and, in final thus maintaining in place the joint 13 which, in turn, maintains

  united the two parts 2 and 3 of the structure.

  To the Junction 6 portions of the top 2 of

  the supporting structure 1 is superimposed and fixed detachably

  chable by means of screw brackets 18 (fig. 1 and 3) an approximately square ring 19, suitable for the attachment of the open upper end (duly rolled) of a flexible collecting bag 20 for leaves and waste in general (fig. 1). A transverse slot 21 is cut in one side of the ring 19 (fig. 2) to allow modification, although limited, of the

perimeter of it.

  Finally, a square basket 22 is preferably placed on the

  portions 7 and 9 of the lower part 3 of the structure

  aunt 1, to support the bottom of the collection bag 20 when

this one is filled.

Claims (6)
