  • Patent number: 5096072
    Abstract: A fold out carrying device or a "caddy." A frame with two front legs is pivotally supported by two longer rear legs. The front end of each of provided locks is rotatably attached to the frame and the rear hooked end slidably circumscribes one of the rear legs. To fold the caddie, the entire device is lifted. Consequently, front legs pivot rearwardly and the rear ends of the locks simply slide down the rear legs without manual aid or operation. Conversely, to open the caddie, the two rear legs are placed on the ground and the caddie is tilted forward such that its front legs tend gravitate away from the rear legs. During opening of the caddie, each of locks slides up along one of the rear legs. Locks are prevented from moving upwards beyond a certain point by stops attached to the rear legs. A number of containers are pivotally supported by the frame. These containers remain substantially vertically oriented whether the device is open or collapsed.
