  • Patent number: 5110147
    Abstract: A transporter for carrying trash cans or bins includes a mainly circular platform which is provided preferably with three radially extending slots. Holding and guide rods or plates are mounted so as to extend vertically up through the slots, preferably to a height of at least one-fifth of the diameter of the platform. The holding rods or plates are continuously adjustable in the radial direction. The holding plates may either be curved in order to provide firm surface contact with the outer surface of a mainly cylindrical trash can, or may be angled so that two of the holding plates securely hold the trash bin along two corner edges, with the third angled holding plate providing double line contact along an opposite side of the trash bin. When using holding plates, the platform is provided with raised regins and ridges to provide lateral and radial stability to the plates.
