  • Publication number: 20070216116
    Abstract: A convertible cart readily convertible between a cart configuration and a table configuration. A leg coupled to each end of the convertible cart is shiftable between a ground-clearing position as a cart and a ground-engaging position as a table. A coupling mechanism couples the leg to a chassis and includes a locking element and a coupling member with two gravity seats. To shift between a cart configuration and a table configuration, the locking element is disengaged from the first gravity seat, the leg is rotated between the ground-clearing position and the ground-engaging position, and the locking element is engaged with the second gravity seat.
