Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a utility cart. More particularly, the present invention is a wheeled utility cart with a tapered design allowing a user to easily carry and access items that are placed inside.
  • the present invention may additionally be collapsible for storage purposes.
  • the storage means is typically an open container that includes a rectangular shape.
  • a major problem, with conventional storage means, is that it is difficult for a person to access the items within the cart. In more detail, a person must lift the items placed inside the storage means which can difficult if the item is of substantial weight. Additionally, conventional carts are bulky and, as a result, are cumbersome to store.
  • the present invention may additionally be collapsible allowing the user to easily store the present invention.
  • the present invention includes a main body that is funnel-shaped which allows items within to be easily accessed with significantly less effort.
  • the present invention includes supports which are telescopic providing a collapsibility aspect to the present invention for easy storage.
  • the present invention additionally includes a support plate, various embodiments of kickstands, and a bag.
  • the support plate allows the use to control the center weight of the present invention.
  • the various embodiments of the kickstands allow the present invention to be rested on its side.
  • the bag provides a receptacle to receive items.
  • FIG. 1 is a front perspective of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a rear perspective of the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a front perspective view of the present invention displaying the telescopic aspect of the plurality of elongated supports and the support plate.
  • FIG. 5 is a rear perspective view of the present invention displaying the telescopic aspect of the plurality of elongated supports and the support plate.
  • the present invention is a wheeled utility cart that allows a user to easily carry and access items and that may be collapsible for easy storage.
  • the present invention can be used for garden work, house work, and grocery shopping.
  • the present invention comprises a carriage 1 , a base 2 , and a wheel assembly 3 .
  • the carriage 1 provides a durable, structural frame that includes a funnel shape allowing the user to easily access and store items from and into the present invention.
  • the carriage 1 comprises a plurality of elongated supports 4 and a closed-shape frame 5 .
  • the plurality of elongated supports 4 and the closed-shape frame 5 form the funnel-like shape of the present invention.
  • the base 2 provides a structural foundation which acts as a link between the carriage 1 and the wheel assembly 3 .
  • the inside of the base 2 may be used to store accessories and devices such as electronics.
  • the wheel assembly 3 provides a conveyance means allowing the user to easily push or pull the present invention across any surface.
  • the base 2 is terminally mounted to the plurality of elongated supports 4 .
  • the closed-shape frame 5 is terminally mounted to the plurality of elongated supports 4 , opposite the base 2 .
  • the arrangement of the plurality of elongated supports 4 , the closed-shape frame 5 , and the base 2 stabilizes the plurality of elongated supports 4 to prevent the plurality of elongated supports 4 from moving and therefore, defining the structural shape of the carriage 1 .
  • the plurality of elongated supports 4 is radially distributed about a center axis 26 of the closed-shape frame 5 in order to maintain the same size and shape between the plurality of elongated supports 4 and the closed-shape frame 5 .
  • the carriage 1 tapers from the closed-shape frame 5 to the base 2 to create a funnel-like shape allowing a user to easily place and retrieve items into and from the present invention.

The carriage 1 provides a durable, structural frame that includes a funnel shape allowing the user to easily access and store items from and into the present invention. The carriage 1 comprises a plurality of elongated supports 4 and a closed-shape frame 5. The plurality of elongated supports 4 and the closed-shape frame 5 form the funnel-like shape of the present invention. The base 2 provides a structural foundation which acts as a link between the carriage 1 and the wheel assembly 3. The inside of the base 2 may be used to store accessories and devices such as electronics. The wheel assembly 3 provides a conveyance means allowing the user to easily push or pull the present invention across any surface.
  • The general configuration of the aforementioned components allows the user to easily carry and access items. Additionally, the present invention provides a collapsible utility cart for easy storage and the design of the invention allows the present invention to be easily maneuvered in tight spaces. With reference to FIG. 1, the base 2 is terminally mounted to the plurality of elongated supports 4. The closed-shape frame 5 is terminally mounted to the plurality of elongated supports 4, opposite the base 2. The arrangement of the plurality of elongated supports 4, the closed-shape frame 5, and the base 2 stabilizes the plurality of elongated supports 4 to prevent the plurality of elongated supports 4 from moving and therefore, defining the structural shape of the carriage 1. The plurality of elongated supports 4 is radially distributed about a center axis 26 of the closed-shape frame 5 in order to maintain the same size and shape between the plurality of elongated supports 4 and the closed-shape frame 5.
