Abstract: A stall and tack cart for transporting livestock is provided. The livestock stall and tack cart generally incorporates telescoping members and stall carriers protruding vertically therefrom. The telescoping members allow for a length of the livestock stall and tack cart to be adjusted such that the stall carriers may hold one or more livestock stalls securely while the stall and tack cart is in motion. The devices and methods provided have the advantages of being as durable and capable of carrying heavy loads as currently existing livestock transportation solutions, but allow equipment for one or more livestock animals to be quickly and easily transported, for example, from a waiting or confinement area to an exhibition space, including through crowded, obstructed, or tight passages.
Abstract: A hand-propelled vehicle for passenger transport, in particular a pushchair, includes a chassis with at least three wheels, at least two of which are pivotally connected to the chassis, wherein the pivotable wheels are connected by at least one shaft which is pivotally connected to a fixed part of the chassis. The pivotable wheels are further situated behind the at least one fixed wheel as seen in the direction of travel of the vehicle, and the pivot connection of the shaft to the fixed part of the chassis is situated in front of the shaft as seen in the direction of travel. It is thus possible to arrange a steering function in frame constructions where there is no room for pivotable front wheels.
