Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a foldable in-store product transport vehicle that is used in supermarkets and the like and does not take up much storage space when not in use.

There are various shapes of collapsible in-store product transport vehicles (hereinafter referred to as transport vehicles), but depending on the size of the basket, it may not be possible to attach it to the transport vehicle, or the body frame may be easily damaged when carrying the weight of the basket. Furthermore, there were problems such as the folding state being unstable.

In view of the above, this invention attempts to eliminate the above-mentioned problems by improving the structure of the transport vehicle.

The configuration of this invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the transport vehicle forms an integral frame in which an upper push part 1 and a tapered lower basket rest part 2 are connected by parallel inclined parts 3, 3.

A basket stand 5 is pivotally supported between the inclined parts 3 and 3 via a rotating shaft 4.

Furthermore, a frame-shaped member 6 is pivotally attached between the inclined parts 3 and 3 below the rotating shaft 4, and the basket stand 5 is connected to a support rod 7 of the frame-shaped member 6.
The support rod γ moves into contact with the bottom of the basket stand 5 as the frame member 6 rotates, and the basket stand 5
It is designed to be folded or assembled.

A hook-shaped portion 5a projects outward from the front end of the basket stand 5, and the basket stand 5 rides on a support rod T in use, and the frame member 6 is supported by the hook-shaped portion 5a.

In addition, 9 is a free wheel, and 10 is a stopper provided on the lower basket placement part 2.

To explain how this device is used, when the basket stand 5 is not in use, the frame member 6 is supported by the rotating shaft 4 with its tip facing up, and the basket stand 5 is supported with its tip facing down, as shown in FIG. The frame-shaped member 6 and the basket stand 5 are folded so as to overlap each other substantially parallel to the inclined part 3 of the frame.

Therefore, the basket stand 5 is always urged to rotate downward, and the folded state is stable without being released due to vibration or the like.

In this case, the support rod 7 of the frame member 6 is located closer to the rotating shaft 4 than the center of the basket stand 5.

When using the basket stand 5 from this state, by rotating and raising the frame member 6, the support rod 7 lifts the bottom of the basket stand 5, and the basket stand 5 is rotated as shown in FIG. The shaft 4 connects the base to the support rod 7 of the frame member 6.
The frame-like member 6 is maintained horizontally by being supported at its tip by the frame-like member 6, while the frame-like member 6 abuts against the hook-like portion 5a of the basket stand 5 and is maintained in an upright state.

As shown in FIG. 4, a basket 50 is placed on the basket stand 5.
When placed, the center of gravity of the basket stand 5 moves toward the tip side,
The basket stand 5 is tilted forward.

This no! As the basket stand 5 tilts forward, the frame member 6 tilts backward, and the upper edge 6a of the frame member 6 moves to come into contact with the front surface of the basket 50.

Note that the rear part of the basket 50 is connected to the bar 11 of the hand push part 1.
is in contact with.

Therefore, even if the sizes of the baskets 50 are slightly different, the baskets 50 can be stably placed on the basket stand 5.

When folding the basket stand, when the basket is removed and the frame-like member 6 is tilted in the direction of the inclined portion 3, the position of the support rod 7 supporting one end of the basket stand 5 shifts toward the rotation axis 4. However, when it passes over the center of the bottom of the basket stand 5, the basket stand 5 rotates downward under its own weight and is folded into the state shown in FIG.

When storing a transport vehicle, another transport vehicle is pushed into the front transport vehicle from behind, so that the hand push portion 1, the lower basket resting portion 2, and the inclined portion 3 overlap each other.

In this case, since the basket stand 5 is automatically folded, there is no protrusion, and a large number of carriers can be stacked on top of each other.

Since the in-store product transport vehicle of this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it produces the following effects.

- Since the basket stand 5 is a "double-end support beam" at the tip and base, the basket 50 has a high load capacity when placed on the basket stand 5, and no unreasonable force is applied to the frame.

(2) Since the upper edge of the frame member 6 moves and comes into contact with the front surface of the basket 50, even if the baskets 50 are slightly different in size, they can be stably placed on the basket stand 5.

◎ Since the basket stand 5 is folded with its tip facing down and supported, the folded state is stable without being released due to vibration or the like.

Claims (1)

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] A basket stand 5 is rotatably supported on the upper part of the sloped part 3 of the frame of the carrier at the base via a rotating shaft 4, and is foldably provided. An in-store product transport vehicle characterized by having the following configuration. (7) The frame-like member 6 is rotatably supported by the lower part of the inclined part 3 at the base part, and the support rod 7 is provided at the upper part of the frame-like member 6.
It is formed so that it can touch and move the bottom of the basket stand 5. (a) A hook-shaped portion 5a is formed on the outer side of the leading end of the basket stand 5. When in use, the frame-like member 6 is held in an upright state by contacting the hook-shaped portion 5a, and the support rod 7 supports the tip of the basket stand 5 to maintain the basket stand horizontally. Further, when the basket 50 is placed on the basket stand 5, the frame member 6 is tilted backward due to the forward tilt of the basket stand 5, and the upper edge 6a of the frame member 6 moves and comes into contact with the front surface of the basket 50. . b) When folded, the frame-like member 6 is supported by the rotating shaft 4 with its tip facing up, and the basket stand 5 is supported by the support rod 7 with its tip facing down, so that the frame-like member 6 and the basket stand 5 overlaps the inclined portion 3 of the frame almost parallel to each other.
