Cart transport equipment

Abstract

This product is a trolley transport device used when transporting multiple delivery trolleys (also called baskets or delivery carts) at once. This product is used by spreading it out so that it is U-shaped when viewed from above. This product has a first frame and a second frame that face each other in the direction of movement, and a third frame that is perpendicular to the first and second frames, and is U-shaped when viewed from above. The first and second frames are equipped with wheels that can be switched between fixed and movable by a switching lever. A U-shaped storage space is formed inside the first, second, and third frames of this product, and the delivery trolley is stored in the storage space (see Reference Photo 2, which shows the state in which the delivery trolley is stored in this product). This product has a fixed bar on the front side to close the storage space. The fixed bar of this product can be rotated up and down with the first frame side as a fulcrum, and the free end side can be hooked on the lock part of the second frame. When storing a delivery cart, the fixed bar is hooked to close the storage space, and otherwise the fixed bar is unhooked to open the storage space. The first and second frames of the product have a connecting part that extends horizontally in the direction of movement. The connecting part of the product has an adjustment hole for adjusting the distance. The product can be connected to multiple units by inserting a straight connecting part between the two connecting parts and fastening them with a connecting pin (see reference photo 3 showing the connected state of the product). Therefore, by storing a delivery cart in the storage space of the product and connecting multiple units of the product, multiple delivery carts can be transported together. In addition, by connecting the front of multiple connected products to a leading vehicle, multiple delivery carts can be transported together with one leading vehicle. The connecting part of the product can be folded vertically upward (see reference photo 4 showing the folded state of the connecting part of the product). The connecting portion of the present article may be configured by interchanging the bifurcated connecting portion and the straight connecting portion between the first frame and the second frame, as shown in the reference photographs. The present article is capable of folding in an "U" shape so that the second frame is rotatable relative to the third frame and fits along the outside of the third frame (see reference photograph 5, which shows the present article in a folded state).When not in use, this item can be folded into an "U" shape, allowing multiple items to be stacked and stored in the back yard of a store (see the reference floor plan showing multiple items stored stacked). Depending on the application, panels or braces may be fitted into the first, second, and third frames of this item. The reference left side view showing an example of a configuration suited to the application shows the first frame fitted with an acrylic panel. The reference rear view showing another example of a configuration suited to the application shows the third frame fitted with a brace.
