    Abstract: A change cart for gambling casinos includes a box-like housing mounted on wheels. The housing has an upper compartment accessible from the top for containing rolls of coins and a compartment accessible from the back containing a drawer for dollar bills. A larger, lower compartment is also accessible from the back and contains supplies. The wheels include two large wheels rotatably mounted near the rear of the housing and two casters which are mounted under forward corners of the housing. A push handle extends above the rear of the housing to manipulate the change cart. The push handle can be vertically adjusted to accommodate the particular casino worker. Tubular outriggers extend outwardly below the housing behind the large wheels to prevent tipping of the cart and similar outriggers extend outwardly in front of the large wheels to serve as foot guards. Heavy corner bumpers can also be located at forward corners of the cart.
