Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The trolley parts of Patent Document 1 have the problem that since the rectangular frame needs to have sufficient size and strength for arranging six or more casters, the trolley parts themselves become large and heavy, and are difficult to handle in operations such as carrying and assembly.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] One form disclosed in this specification is a carriage component that constitutes a carriage using a wedge-tightening type scaffold component. This carriage component includes a square pipe forming a rectangular tubular shape having a bottom surface and side surfaces, a pair of casters respectively provided at both ends of the bottom surface, a pair of protruding pipes respectively extending horizontally from both ends of the side surfaces, a pair of vertical pipes provided at the tip ends of each of the pair of protruding pipes and extending vertically, a connecting pipe extending horizontally from the lower end of one of the vertical pipes in the pair of vertical pipes to the lower end of the other vertical pipe to connect the pair of vertical pipes, a pair of connecting structures provided at the upper ends of each of the pair of vertical pipes and capable of coaxially connecting in the vertical direction a support component which is one of the scaffold components, and a pair of fastening parts provided respectively on the side surfaces of the pair of vertical pipes on the opposite side of the connection part with the protruding pipes and below the connection part and capable of receiving wedge parts provided at both ends of a cross-frame component which is one of the scaffold components. By connecting between two carriage components with two cross-frame components, a carriage using a wedge-tightening type scaffold component can be constituted. According to this carriage component, since a pair of protruding pipes, a pair of vertical pipes, and a connecting pipe are provided on a square pipe provided with a pair of casters, miniaturization and weight reduction of the carriage component itself can be achieved. As a result, the burden of operations such as carrying and assembling can be reduced. Also, according to this carriage component, a carriage of any size can be constituted by changing the lengths of the two cross-frame components connecting between two carriage components.
