  • Platform type hand cart with universal molded bed
    Patent number: 5409245
    Abstract: A platform type hand cart includes a molded resin load carrying bed that is universally adaptable for both nesting and non-nesting cart configurations. The cart bed is slightly tapered from its rearward end to its forward end to enhance nestability, has a downwardly and forwardly sloping rear edge to further enhance nestability and includes various groups of mounting pads integrally molded into the underside of the bed for receiving fasteners used to secure wheel assemblies, a hinge assembly and a bumper assembly. Integrally molded reinforcing rod receiving pads may also be integrally molded into the underside of the bed for receiving structural reinforcing rods to stiffen the bed against deflection under load. By providing a single bed member with all of the various mounting pads required for nesting and non-nesting cart configurations, economies are achieved by permitting use of a single mold to produce a single bed adaptable for nesting and non-nesting cart applications.
