Abstract: A table including a one-piece, monolithic plastic top part having a reinforcing rib structure integral therewith and a reinforcing rail arrangement. The rib structure includes a main flange which extends generally downwardly from the lower side of the top part and an edge wall which also extends downwardly and forms a periphery thereof. The edge wall is spaced-apart from and surrounds the main flange. A pair of pivotable leg assemblies are connected to the top at the lower side thereof. The reinforcing rib structure includes a plurality of cross ribs which extend between the edge wall and the main flange on the lower side of the top part. A handle member is also provided on and extends downwardly from the lower side of the top part and is integral therewith for manipulating the table during transport thereof.

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.
