  • Patent number: 3936070
    Abstract: A cart-like vehicle has a symmetric concave body portion which is pivoted on a frame on a tilt axis above the axis of the wheels so that the cart may be tilted in one longitudinal direction to serve as a personnel conveyance, or may be loaded with its carrying compartment upright and unloaded by merely tilting the body in a second longitudinal direction to a dumping position. The body portion is substantially wedge-shaped, with its tilt axis closer to the top than to the bottom, so the body may be readily pivoted in either longitudinal direction. Both of said axes lie substantially in the transverse, vertical mid-plane of the body when said body is upright. Means are provided to support a seat for using the cart as a passenger vehicle when tilted in one direction, and the cart also includes means for supporting a cover or shelves when the cart is used to convey liquids or as a free-standing serving cart.
