Description

  The present invention is a hand-carried vehicle in which an operation handle is installed in which a side handle is provided at both ends of a handle rod at the rear end of a loading platform supported by a pair of front and rear universal wheels (casters) and fixed wheels (casters). It is about.

  A hand cart with a structure in which a pair of free wheels with a loading platform arranged on the front end side and a pair of fixed wheels arranged on the rear end side and a gate-like operation handle standing on the rear end side of the loading platform is provided. It is well known without specific examples (for example, cited document 1).

  This hand cart is used extensively as an aid to the delivery work of courier in the city.

  Here, the universal wheel refers to a wheel (a caster) in which the wheel (frame) is rotatably supported on a rotating shaft and the traveling direction is flexible (for example, cited document 2).

  The conventional hand cart according to the above structure is suitable for frequent loading and unloading of articles like home delivery because the loading platform is a simple flat plate, but it can be easily dropped from the loading platform during transportation. Therefore, the load capacity is extremely limited.

  For this reason, a container made up of a box-shaped main body and a lid that closes the upper end of the opening is placed on the carrier, and is fixed to the carrier in the main body so as to accommodate articles in the container. Carriage vehicles that prevent items from falling off and are extremely effective for home delivery work are now being used.

  The hand cart equipped with the container has practical convenience that it can perform loading work of articles just by putting it in the container, and can avoid dropping from the loading platform because it is stored in the container. However, from the mentality of an operator who desires a large amount of articles at a time, the articles are likely to be stored and loaded so as to protrude from the opening at the upper end of the container. Even in this case, the movement of the transport vehicle must be controlled by operating the operation handle on the rear end side, depending on the height of the container and the load (article) loaded and loaded in the container. There is a risk that a blind spot will occur in front of the vehicle and it may collide with people or things. To prevent the collision, measures to prevent collision such as reducing the moving speed or paying attention to the presence of surrounding objects are taken.

  The present invention was created with the aim of providing a hand-carried vehicle that is easy to use and that prevents the collision of people and things, focusing on the shortcomings of conventional hand-carried vehicles.

  In a handcart that has an operation handle in which a handle bar is oppositely provided on both ends of a handle bar at the rear end of a bed supported by a pair of front and rear universal wheels and a fixed wheel, the upper end opens on the bed. A luggage container comprising a rectangular box-shaped main body and an opening / closing lid of the opening, which is attached to a front wall plate on the front end side of the loading platform of the opening of the main body via a hinge, A basic means is that a handle for controlling the moving direction is attached in place on the front side instead of the operation handle.

  According to the present invention, since the handle provided in the luggage container is used as an operation material instead of the operation handle on the rear end side, the carriage can be moved while the front is in the visual field. Since no blind spots are generated, the goods can be transported without hindrance without being in contact with things. Further, by adopting an arrangement configuration in which the handle is arranged in front of the swivel axis of the free wheel, even if it is an operation by the handle, the free wheel can be controlled and advanced freely in a desired direction. Thus, it is possible to provide a hand cart that does not hinder even if a relatively large amount of articles are accommodated and loaded in the container.

  The drawings show an embodiment of the hand cart according to the present invention, FIG. 1 is a schematic front view, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG.

  In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of the hand cart A. The main body 1 has both ends of a handle bar 5a at the rear end of a load carrier 4 supported by a pair of front and rear free wheels 2 and 2 and fixed wheels 3 and 3, respectively. The operation handle 5 is constructed such that the side cages 5b and 5b are provided relative to each other, and the luggage container 6 is placed on the loading platform 4 of the main body 1 and fixed (fixed). A transport vehicle A is configured.

  The luggage container 6 has a rectangular shape in which the front and rear wall plates and the left and right wall plates opposed to each other are erected on the peripheral side of the long bottom wall plate that substantially coincides with the long rectangle on the front and rear sides of the loading platform 4 and the upper end is opened. A box-shaped container body 7 and an opening / closing lid 9 that is attached to the upper end of the front wall plate 7a of the body 7 via a hinge 8 to open and close the opening of the body 7.

  Each of the front and rear wall plates, the left and right wall plates, the bottom wall plate, and the open / close lid 9 constituting the container 6 is formed by wrapping a resin plate having a shape retaining property as a core material with a resin sheet, The wall plate is configured such that the resin sheet as a constituent material is connected to each other by heat sealing to constitute the housing body 7, and the hinge 8 interposed between the body 7 and the opening / closing lid 9 is formed between the body 7 and the opening / closing lid 9. It consists of a part of the resin sheet interposed therebetween.

  In the embodiment, a pair of left and right handles 10, 10 are provided on the upper side of the front wall plate 7a of the luggage container body 7, and the handle 10 is used as an operation material for controlling the movement of the transport vehicle A in place of the operation handle 5. The handle 10 is made of a soft synthetic resin, and is constructed by attaching both ends of a thick strip piece to the front wall plate 7a (sewing may be used regardless of the means). However, the material and form of the handle 10 need not be limited to those of the embodiment, and the attachment means for the front wall plate 7a may be selected freely.

  The handle 10 is provided on the front wall plate 7a, but it may be one or both of the left and right side wall plates or the open / close lid 9, and may be provided on all of them. It is preferable that the universal wheel 2 is provided at a position in front of the turning shaft 2 '.

  The luggage container 6 (the main body 7) has a fastening band 13 having a base end portion attached to the bottom wall plate 7b, which is a component thereof, attached to the loading platform 4, and a fastening portion having a base end portion attached to the rear wall plate 7c. Bands 13 ′ are wound around the side bars 5 b of the operation handle 5 and assembled to the transport vehicle body 1 so as to be separable.

  The opening / closing lid 9 can be folded back and forth, and the rear half 1B is overlapped with the other front half 9A, and the container body 7 is in a semi-released state to put in and out the article. It is possible to do.
