ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a skate that has a foldable handlebar stem which is pivoted relative to the horizontal body of the skate cart for convenient storage.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A conventional skate cart generally includes a horizontal body on which the rider stands, a handlebar stem connected to a front end of the body and a front wheel connected to the lower end of the handlebar stem, and a rear wheel. The body and the handlebar stem are generally made to be a one-piece member so that the whole skate cart cannot be folded. Therefore, the skate cart occupies a lot of space and is inconvenient for storage.
The present invention intends to provide a skate cart that has an engaging means for connecting the handlebar stem and the horizontal body of the skate cart so that the user may actuate the engaging means to let the handlebar stem be pivoted relative to the body so as to become a compact size.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a skate cart and comprising a horizontal body having a section extending from a front end of the horizontal body, and a rear wheel connected to a bottom of a rear end of the horizontal body. A tube is pivotably connected to the section and a handlebar stem is connected to the tube. A front wheel is connected to the handlebar stem. An engaging means is pivotably connected to the tube and includes a first hook end and a second hook end. A spring is biased between the engaging means and the tube. The first hook end is engageable with a stop on the section when the skate cart is riding, and the second hook end is engageable with the section when the tube together with the handlebar stem are pivoted relative to the horizontal body.
The object of the present invention is to provide a skate cart wherein the handlebar stem can be pivoted relative to the horizontal body so as to become a compact size.
These and further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, several embodiments in accordance with the present invention.
