It is a rod-shaped fixing member for fixing the second side member 4.

[0007] The cart 1 of the present invention further comprises a clothing 7.
0, a carrier 60 (hereinafter, referred to as a trolley unit) that conveys clothes while moving on a round bar-shaped rail 90 provided in a clothes hangar provided with clothes 1.
A round bar-shaped rail 11 similar to the rail 90 for guiding inside is provided on the carriage 1. Before describing the mounting structure of the rail 11, a structure of the trolley unit 60 will be briefly described first.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the trolley unit 60 is provided with wheel support members 62 and 63 to each of which a pair of wheels 61 are attached, and the wheel support members 62 and 63 have a substantially U-shape. The hanger support member 64 is attached, and the wheels 61 rotate on the rails 90, so that the clothes 70 on the hanger hung on the hanger support members 64 move on the rails 90 provided in the hangar. Is transported. Note that 6
Reference numeral 5 denotes a projection provided to prevent the hanger from moving while the trolley unit 60 is moving.

As described above, the carriage 1 has the rail 90
A bar-shaped rail 11 for guiding the upper trolley unit 60 into the carriage 1 is provided on the carriage.
As shown in FIG. 9, a main part is provided at one end of the rail 11 and a shaft 13 is rotatably supported by the fixing part 12 so that the rail 11 can be folded. And a shaft support 14 provided at one end of the rail 11,
The fixing part 12 is attached to the upper frame 21 of the first side member 2 via an L-shaped fitting (attachment member) 15,
Further, the other end 11a of the rail 11 is formed on an L-shaped fitting (locking member) 16 attached to the upper frame 41 of the second side member 4, as shown in FIG. The recess 16a is locked in the recess 16a.

The first side member 2 of the trolley 1 into which the trolley unit 60 is introduced is provided with a door 23 which can be opened and closed. Note that the upper frame 21 of the first side member 2 and the upper frame 41 of the second side member 4 are provided so that the trolley unit 60 accommodated in the carriage 1 is fixed on the rail 11 in the carriage 1. The fixing members 22 and 42 for fixing the wheel support members 62 and 63 of the trolley unit 60 are respectively attached.

As the fixing members 22 and 42, the wheel 61 only needs to be fixed on the rail 11, so that the wheel supporting member 6
Any structure may be used as long as the structures 2 and 63 do not move vertically and horizontally.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a U-shaped fixing member 42 is attached to the upper frame 41 of the second side member 4, and the wheel supporting member 63 is fixed to the fixing member 42. 5 and 8, and the U-shaped fixing member 22 is also attached to the upper frame 21 of the first side member 2 to fix the wheel supporting member 62. I am trying to fix it.

The trolley unit 6 in which the clothes 70 are hung from the rail 90 in the hangar in the carriage 1 thus constructed.

When the trolley unit 60 is pushed in the direction of the trolley 1, the trolley unit 60 is guided into the trolley 1. To move the carriage 1 from this state, the door 23 is closed, the wheel supporting members 62 and 63 of the trolley unit 60 are fixed by the fixing members 22 and 42, and the carriage 1 is detached from the rail 90. Direction and then into the truck container.

As described above, a large number of clothes 70 can be loaded in a truck in a short time, and it is also easy to load and unload them. After dropping the clothes 70 from the cart 1,
When the second side member 4 is opened in the direction opposite to the first side member 2, the end 11a of the rail 11 is disengaged from the locking member 16, so that the rail 11 can be folded as shown in FIG. Then, the bottom plate 5 is folded toward the back member 3 and the second side member 4 is also folded, and the folding of the cart 1 is completed. Therefore, it does not unnecessarily occupy space until it is returned. The cart 1 is folded in an L-shape as shown in FIG. 3 and wheels 6 and 7 are provided at the lower portion, so that the cart can be easily moved even in the folded state.

[0015]

The trolley for transporting clothing according to the present invention and the method for transporting clothing using the trolley are constructed as described above.
