  • Patent number: 7677591
    Abstract: The beach cart has two arcuate rails having two ends. Upon one end, the rails have a handle and on the other end, an axle and a pivoting plate. The axle spans the rails and has two wheels. The plate attaches to each rail at a hinge. The plate pivots from a position perpendicular to the rails to a position folded upon the rails. When unfolded, the plate supports cargo, and when folded, the plate supports a tabletop as the handle is positioned down and the cart positioned flat. Between the rails, a curved panel stiffens the cart. The curved panel has a tube in communication with two openings for carrying an umbrella. Centered at the crest of the panel, an aperture receives a beach umbrella when the invention is placed down at the beach.
