Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a new way of rolling things instead of carrying them, and in a completely new way.
[0002] A problem that every camper has experienced in some way or another.
[0003] Up to now, and in the usual way, when camping, dirty dishes are stored in a transport container in order to carry them to the washing station.
[0004] Often two bowls are needed, as barbecue equipment, pots, or pans are frequently used in addition to regular dishes. Campers are usually self-sufficient, so washing up is a regular occurrence.
[0005] Current transport methods are heavy, bulky, wobbly, unstable, or difficult to carry. They often tip over, as they typically use a single-handle design.
[0006] Some means of transport have no carrying devices at all, only external handles or recesses, and must be held or carried in an unnatural position in front of or next to the body.
[0007] The paths to the washhouses are also usually very long, as these are often centrally located. Furthermore, the paths are not always level and smooth, but rather bumpy and stony.
[0008] At the washing station, everything has to be picked up again and the dishes taken from the baskets have to be placed in the sink.
[0009] The same thing happens after washing up; the dishes etc. have to be handled and put away again. Double and unnecessary steps.
[0010] The invention specified in the patent claim solves precisely this problem.
[0011] The entire washing-up process is being redefined and redesigned.
[0012] In the future, rolling will be possible without great effort, and this will be possible thanks to two generously sized folding baskets. This feature will be used in Fig. 11 shown.
[0013] The problem described above, faced by campers, gardeners, and many other people from various backgrounds who need to carry things, is solved by the invention registered here. It allows everyone to comfortably transport items in the device, and the "MATS" can be folded down to a very small size after use, thus saving space. This is demonstrated in the Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5 to Fig. 6 clearly.
[0014] The unique feature and innovation are the self-balancing baskets.
[0015] This will be in Fig. 7 described. Here, one of four fastenings on the aluminum square tube (reference numbers (3) and (4)) is described as an example. The central connection of the locking hinges is also innovative. In Fig. Figure 8 shows a top view. Here, the hinge leg is connected using a rivet nut and rotatably mounted in the basket bracket with a shaft screw. This is shown in Fig. 9 is shown as a cross-section and illustrates the interaction of the individual components.
[0016] This type of transport using rotatably mounted baskets is previously unknown. Furthermore, the invention is foldable and therefore easy to transport.
[0017] The folding baskets are available in different sizes and can be individually adapted to the device.
[0018] The uniqueness of the invention mentioned in the claim is illustrated in the figures.

Claims
[1] Mobile dishwashing transport system foldable, mounted on 2 wheels with 2 holders for 2 baskets characterized by that the basket receptacles (7+8) and the baskets (9) contained therein balance themselves. [2] Mobile dishwashing transport system according to claim 1 characterized by that the square basket mounts are rotatably mounted. [3] Mobile dishwashing transport system according to claims 1 and 2 characterized byThe two individual folding hinge parts (5) are assembled to form a new component with new functions. The central hole of the hinges is movably connected by means of a rivet nut. A shaft screw is screwed into the thread of the rivet nut. This shaft screw runs in a bearing sleeve, which is centrally inserted in the basket holder (7+8). This allows the basket holder to tilt freely. The folding hinges are rotatably attached to the base frame (3 or 4) at their ends. This novel design enables the function described in claims 1 and 2. [4] Mobile dishwashing transport system according to claims 1, 2 and 3 characterized by , that it can be folded up by means of the hinges (5) and joint connectors (1) [5] Mobile dishwashing transport system according to claims 1, 2, 3 and 4 characterized by , that it becomes mobile and can be rolled by means of the swivel casters (12). [6] Mobile dishwashing transport system according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 characterized by The use of aluminum materials results in a light weight, which is crucial for rolling and handling.
