Patent number: 10766516Abstract: A modular cart assembly includes a first cart and an identical second cart. Each cart has a latching assembly that vertically slides along the cart and a coupling arm spaced apart from the latching assembly. The first cart is coupled to the second cart by positioning the first cart next to the second cart, vertically sliding the latching assembly of the first cart along the first cart until the latching assembly of the first cart couples to the coupling arm of the second cart, and vertically sliding the latching assembly of the second cart along the second cart until the latching assembly of the second cart couples to the coupling arm of the first cart.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Cannon Equipment LLCInventors: Clemance Bernard Finstad, Thomas J. Raway, Bruce L. Johnson

Publication number: 20200216300Abstract: In certain examples, a cart is for lifting a load and the cart has a base frame, a lifting frame pivotally coupled to the base frame with a link arm, a handle pivotally coupled to the base frame at a first pivot axis, and a brace. The brace has a first end pivotally coupled to the handle at a second pivot axis that is spaced apart from the first pivot axis along the handle and an opposite second end pivotally coupled to the lifting frame at a third pivot axis that is between the link arm and the first pivot axis along the lifting frame to thereby achieve a mechanical advantage for pivoting the lifting frame relative to the base frame as the handle is pivoted about the first pivot axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2019Publication date: July 9, 2020Applicant: Cannon Equipment LLCInventors: Clemance Bernard Finstad, Keith Jackson

Patent number: 10137838Abstract: A cart apparatus for moving objects includes a frame that defines a cavity and steps operably coupled to the frame. The steps are movable into and between an inoperable position in which the steps are nested in the cavity and an operable position in which the steps are at least partially outside the cavity. One of the steps and the frame has a guide pin, and the other of the steps and the frame defines a slot in which the guide pin is slideably received. The slot is configured to guide the steps into and between the inoperable position and the operable position as the guide pin slides in the slot.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Cannon Equipment LLCInventor: Clemance Bernard Finstad
