Abstract: A cart for transporting goods to various locations. The cart is configured to carry luggage and other items that require transportation, and designed to nest with like-constructed carts, thereby reducing the space required to store the carts when not in use. The cart comprises a platform configured to carry a load. The platform has a first end configured to nest within a like-shaped cart, a second end configured to receive and engage with at least a portion of said like-shaped cart, and opposing sides. The cart further includes a pair of push or pull handles having first ends secured to the first end of the platform and second ends secured to the second end of the platform, and a main body traversing between the first end and the second end. The cart also includes a plurality of wheels attached to a lower surface of the platform.

Abstract: A refuse receptacle is disclosed, having a body with an upper and a lower portion, the upper portion having a top rim forming a gusset with a vertical wall and a horizontal wall, the lower portion having a bottom side with a base rim. On the back side of the upper portion is a handle attached to the body of the receptacle. The handle is attached to the upper portion by at least one projecting sidewall. A lid is included, having a convex upper surface and two sets of opposing sidewalls. The opposing sidewalls correspond with the top rim of the body. The lid includes at least one projection to attach to the handle with a securing plate and fastener. The lower portion includes a drainage plug so that liquids within the body can be easily drained. A pair of wheels are connected by an axle and housed within wheel recesses.
Abstract: A mobile hose reel traversable between a mobile mode and a stationary mode. The mobile hose reel comprises a first side frame assembly having a first rotatable side wall and a first side frame assembly elongated body. The first side frame assembly elongated body is slidably engaged with at least a portion of the first rotatable side wall and is configured to secure to a first pair of stability members. A second side frame assembly comprises a second rotatable side wall and a second side frame assembly elongated body. The second side frame assembly elongated body is slidably engaged with at least a portion of the second rotatable side wall and is configured to secure to a second pair of stability members. Traversal of the first and second side assemblies upwardly or downwardly about a longitudinal axis traverses the mobile hose reel between a mobile orientation and a stationary orientation.
