  • Patent number: 6126183
    Abstract: A portable, wheeled cart foldable between stowage and deployed positions automatically captivates and suspends trash bags. A generally U-shaped and inverted main frame extends from a top forming a handle to the lower cart wheels. A companion subframe of generally U-shaped profile is pivoted to the frame. Preferably a foldable platform is provided at the cart base for supporting the trash bag. A wheel assembly axle pivotally connects the platform to the lower ends of the main frame. This allows the platform to fold and nest within the main frame thereby allowing the cart to present a compact profile for ease of storage and transport. The bag is captivated upon a pair of resilient, spaced apart clips that extend transversely across tile cart. These clips extend between and are yieldably, pivotally captivated within tipper suitable aligned orifices formed in the frame legs and the subframe legs. The clips have a mid-segment that is parallel to the handles of the cart.

  • Patent number: 6105719
    Abstract: A highly mobile support cart for automotive service personnel presents an elevated support platform over the engine compartment of a vehicle undergoing service. The wheeled frame, ideally supported by a smooth, concrete surface, comprises a rigid, transverse base from which rigid, elongated rails outwardly diverge. The frame mounts an extensible, slightly inclined ladder that supports the work platform. The frame rails and base are equipped with suitable caster wheel assemblies for locomotion. The divergent, reinforced frame design enhances stability and structural integrity. The extensible ladder transported by the frame projects upwardly from the rear. The ladder comprises a lower half pivoted to the frame that telescopingly receives a sliding upper half. Registered locking orifices are pinned by a spring biased clip system to lock the ladder halves against axial displacement. The locking clip comprises a generally C-shaped clasp that is yieldably, spring biased to a locking position.
