  • Patent number: 5507509
    Abstract: The invention provides a cart to carry large panels of sheet goods. It incorporates a panel bracing mechanism that automatically adjusts and locks in place different width panels. The cart consists of a wheeled frame, a handle attached to the frame, and a panel bracing mechanism. When a panel is placed in the panel bracing mechanism, the weight of the panel causes braces to shift and lock the panel in place. The cart is moved and steered by the user pushing on the back of the panel. When the panel is lifted from the cart, the weight of the panel is removed and the bracing mechanism releases the panel. Once empty, the pivoting handle is used to pull and direct the cart.
