The cart has a knock-down construction enabling it to be conveniently disassembled for storage and subsequently re-assembled for use. The knocked-down parts are a basket, two wheels, and a combination operating handle and strut assembly. The basket is fabricated from tubular electrical conduit to comprise a rectangular perimeter frame whose longer sides are spanned by a series of transverse members which are of depressed shape to form the sides and bottom of the basket. The wheels mount on opposite sides of the basket to provide a road clearance greater than the wheel radius. The operating handle and strut assembly mounts on the basket at one lengthwise end by means of removable pin connections. The strut is operable on the assembly to a stowed position and to a ground-engaging support position. An optional removable liner for the basket is also disclosed. | |
