Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassB62B 5/00 (20060101)AbstractA collapsible cargo carrier is the subject of the present invention. The carrier comprises a rigid framework for supporting cargo and an axle and wheel assembly for moving the cargo over a surface. A generally rectangular framework supports the cargo and is coupled with the axle by triangular supports which are releasably hinged to the cargo carrying framework. By removing two locking pins, the axle is released from the framework and the triangular supports can be collapsed against the cargo carrying portion of the framework. Mounting brackets are provided for storing the axle and wheel assembly on the side of the framework when the other components have been collapsed. Accessories are provided for accommodating larger loads and for facilitating movement of loads by providing elongated handles on the carrier. | |
