Patent number: 8967658Abstract: A folding ball trolley has a frame and a bag. The frame has two main rod assemblies and two connecting rod assemblies. When the folding ball trolley is expanded, the main rods and the connecting rods lean outward under gravity until the main rods brace the bag. The bag holds the main rods at a specific angle, and the main rods hold the connecting rods at a specific angle. The main rod assemblies and the connecting rod assemblies are connected into a rectangle, such that the frame is expanded horizontally when the rods are leant outward. Thus, the folding ball trolley can achieve auto expansion without any resilient element, and therefore a user does not have to resist the resilient force when folding. Besides, the amount of the rods is reduced to eight (four main rods and four connecting rods), which reduces the manufacturing cost and facilitates ease of assembly.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2014Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Inventor: Chia-Ling Wang
