Abstract: A rolling suitcase (10), equipped with a pair of wheels (14) on one edge (18) of its base (26), can be transported by tilting the suitcase (10) so that only wheels (14) are in contact with the surface. A second set of wheels (20) are mounted on an adjacent narrower edge (24) of base (26). When approaching a narrow restriction the user would tilt suitcase (10) so that only wheels (20) are in contact with the surface, and proceed thru the restriction. A second embodiment utilizes a caster (36) near the corner of edge (18) and edge (24) in conjunction with a single wheel (14) or single wheel (20).
Abstract: A lightweight compartmentalized collector dolly which readily stores newspapers, glass and metal materials for recycling is disclosed. The newspapers can be neatly stacked and bundled within a dedicated compartment. The collector dolly has a handle and wheels to enable even a child to maneuver the dolly and to collect recyclable materials and sort them during collection. Another container for storing glass materials hangs from a handle support bar and is supported by a half-cup at the bottom. Since the doubled cylindrical compartments have liners and both compartments and liners have draining capabilities at their bottoms, the storing regions in this dolly can be readily cleaned.
