  • Patent number: 11820412
    Abstract: A cart for transporting objects has a base and a first end wall and an opposite second end wall extending from the base. A sidewall extends from the base and between the end walls such that the base, the first end wall, the second end wall, and the sidewall define an interior space of the cart. A hinge couples a door to the first end wall such that the door can be pivoted into different positions. One or more arms extend into the interior space to support and retain objects therein.

  • Patent number: 10766516
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20200216300
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10137838
    Abstract: 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.
