PUSH-CART.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented me. a, rare.
Application filed March 31, 1917. Serial No. 158,992.
at the cityof St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Push-Carts, ofwhich the following is a specification.
This invention provides convenient and facile means for carrying small parcels, traveling bags, and the like. A suitcase, valise, or package may be too heavy to be conveniently carried in the hand or a parcel may be of too bulky a shape to permit of easycarriage by hand, and in such instances the device herein described will be found especially useful. It is adapted to be folded up so as to occupy little Space. I
The drawing, accompanying this specification and forming part thereof, illustrates this invention by a perspective view, the dotted lines showing the same in its folded position.
In the specification, like numbers of reference denote the same part or parts wherever the said reference numbers are used.
The article to be carried rests upon the cross-pieces 1, which may be attached in any siutable manner to the side-frames 2, but preferably by turning up their opposite ends so as to overlap the outer sides of the frame, which at their ends are joined by the end-pieces 3. The side-frames 2 and end-pieces 3 extend upwardly above the cross-pieces 1 in such manner as to form a flange that will retain the carried article from sliding off the cross-pieces 1,but in addition straps (not shown in the drawing) may be passed through the slots 4 in the extension pieces attached to the ends of the cross pieces 1 and located on the outside of side-frames 2 on each side of the vehicle, and the said straps, passing over the carried article and fastened down, will hold the same securely thereon.
Pivoted at 5 to the side-frames 2 are the legs 6, which are connected by the axles 7 bearing the wheels 8. The legs 6 are steadied and held in the position shown in full lines in the drawing by the braces 9, which latch over the studs 10.
When it is desired to fold the device into the position shown by the dotted lines in the drawing, the braces 9 are unlatched from the studs 10, and the legs 6 car rying wheels 8 folded under the top frame to the position indicated by the said dotted lines. The braces 9 are pivoted at 11 to the legs 6. It will be observed that legs 6 are so pivoted to the side frames 2 as to allow them toiswin in eitherdirection, and the legs 6 at the right-hand side of the drawings may, for example, first be swung in a direction toward the right in the draw- I ing, allowing wheels 8 at the other end of the device to pass above the wheels 8 at the right-hand end of the device and to assume theposition shown in dotted lines; in the drawing. Then the right-hand legs 6 and at tached wheels 8 are moved to their dottedline position.
Stud 12 supports an eyelet retractile spring 13 which carries a hook 14 at its lower end that is adapted, when the spring is extended, to engage in the openings 15 in the pairs of legs 6 when folded in crossed position as shown by dotted lines, and thus hold the folded cart in compact form.
The device may be made of difierent heights to suit the convenience of tall or short users, and when the article to be carried has been placed on cross-pieces 1 and strapped thereto by the straps (not shown in the drawing) passing through the slots 4, a hand lightly laid upon the carried article propels the vehicle forward in any direction in which it is desired that it shall proceed.
I claim:
1. A portable luggage carrier comprising a horizontal frame, a pair of parallel spaced legs pivoted at their upper ends to each end of said horizontal frame, means connecting the lower ends of the legs of each pair of legs in fixed relation, supporting wheels journaled on said connecting means, means for maintaining each pair of legs in vertical operative position, one of said pairs of legs adapted to be folded through between the other pair of legs when both pairs are folded up beneath said frame, and means for secur- 100 ing said pairs of legs in folded position.
I 2. A portable luggage carrier comprising a horizontal frame, a pair of spaced parallel legs pivoted at their upper ends to each end of said horizontal frame, means rigidly con- 105 meeting the lower ends of each pair of legs, wheels journaled on said connecting means, means for bracing each pair of legs in vertical operative position, said pairs of legs adapted to be folded up beneath said hori- 110 zontal frame by swinging one pair of legs through the other pair, and spring tension meanscarried by each side of said horizontal frame and adaptedto be engaged with said legs to maintain them in folded position.
3. A portable luggage carrier comprising a horizontal frame, lugs projecting laterally from the sides of said frame, a pair of spared parallel legs pivoted to each end of said horizontal frame, one pair of legs being adapted to swing through between the other pair of legs and up beneath the horizontal frame, braces pivoted at one end to each pair of legs at points intermediate their ends, the other ends of said braces having notches for the reception of said lugs to hold the legs in vertical position,
'- and spring tension means for holding said pairs of legs in folded position beneath said horizontal frame.
4. A portable luggage carrier comprising a horizontal frame, a pair of spaced parallel legs pivoted to each end of said horizontal frame, one pair of legs being adapted to swing through between the other pair and up beneath the horizontal frame, means for bracing each pair of legs in vertical position, and coil springs each having one end atmtached to the side of the horizontal frame and the other end provided with a hook for engagement with the overlapping portions of the legs to hold said pairs of legs in folded position beneath said horizontal frame.
5. In a portable luggage carrier of the class described, a wheeled frame, cross pieces disposed beneath the lower edges of said frame and having their ends turned up and overlapping the outer sides of said frame, and extension pieces attached to the opposite ends of said cross pieces and provided with openings for the reception of luggage securing elements.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.
WILLIAM HALLIBURTON.
