Publication number: 20130103245Abstract: A foldable cart assembly which is arranged to provide trackable transportation to a product or a person. The cart contains sensors and computer-controlled drive wheels to enable that cart assembly, when fully opened, to follow a safe path as directed by received electronic signals. That cart assembly is also tri-foldably collapsible, so as to have multiple portions pivoted into nesting configuration with one another thus containable in a minimal volume and even carried by an individual.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2012Publication date: April 25, 2013Applicant: FTR SYSTEMS, INCInventors: Chunghsin Lee, Jian Zhang

Publication number: 20130093166Abstract: A golf bag cart includes a body for engaging a golf bag. The body has a first longitudinal end and an opposite second longitudinal end. A first pair of wheels is rotatable about a first axis of rotation at or adjacent the second longitudinal end, a second pair of wheels rotatable about a second axis of rotation which is pivotable relative to the body between a folded position and an outstretched position. When the second axis of rotation is in the outstretched position, the first and second wheel pairs support the body in a slanted orientation. When the second axis of rotation is in the folded position, the first and second wheel pairs support the body in a generally horizontal orientation. When the second axis of rotation moves from the outstretched position to the folded position, the second axis of rotation moves away from the first axis of rotation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2011Publication date: April 18, 2013Applicant: ADEPT INDUSTRIES LIMITEDInventors: Yuet Keung Tse, Chi Bun Tse, Michael Potempa

Publication number: 20130087994Abstract: A foldable golf pull/push cart is disclosed. In some embodiments, the foldable golf cart is selectively foldable between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration. In such embodiments, the foldable golf cart is configured to be permanently attached to a golf club bag in both the folded and unfolded configurations as well as while the golf cart is transitioned between the forgoing configurations. According to some embodiments, the golf cart is compact and light enough such that it does not appreciably add to either the dimensions of the golf club bag or the weight of a standard golf club bag containing clubs and other golf equipment. In this way, when the golf cart is in a folded configuration, the golf cart and bag combination can be handled and/or transported as easily as the bag itself. In some embodiments, the golf cart is configured to accommodate any bag a user prefers.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2011Publication date: April 11, 2013Inventor: Michael James Pratt

Patent number: 8408581Abstract: The collapsible shopping cart device provides a shopping cart with pivoting telescopic legs. Two spaced apart front legs mount to a pair of spaced apart leg pivots proximal to the basket bottom front. The pivoted legs provide for total collapse to the basket bottom or extension to positions that allow the basket to be selectively varied in height above a given surface such as a store floor. The basket may be provided with hinges between the basket sides and front and back and the basket bottom such that sides, front, and back may collapse for even greater collapsibility for either transport or storage. The sides, front and back are selectively locked in place when expanded. The seat bottom and back may be removable. The handle may be removable. The entire basket and its upwardly disposed components may therefore provide extreme compactability.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2011Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Inventor: Nancy E. Hunter

Patent number: 8393633Abstract: A golf bag cart foldable device includes a bottom cart stand having a rear wheel frame at each side to link a rear wheel. The bottom cart stand has a bag base to link a front wheel. An upper cart stand is in pinned connection with the bottom cart stand. A linkage set, including plural linkages, forms links between the upper cart stand and the bottom cart stand and between the upper cart stand and the rear wheel frame. A folding joint enables release of the folding joint first. By the link between the linkage set and the rear wheel frame, simultaneous unfolding or folding of the upper cart stand, the bottom cart stand and the rear wheels can thus be accomplished. The folding joint is secured to have the upper cart stand and the bottom cart stand locked to each other, to achieve handiness in use.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2010Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Unique Product & Design Co., Ltd.Inventor: Gordon Liao
