ABSTRACT:
A manually-powered multi-article utility carrier has a mobile body defined by separate spaced apart upright front and rear main support structures being rigidly interconnected by a load-supporting bottom platform structure, and separate auxiliary support structures movably interfaced telescopically with the main support structures. The main support structures, bottom platform structure and auxiliary support structures together define the capacity of a variable-volume multi-article holding cavity of the carrier body. Locking mechanisms releasably couple the respective support structures together for locking the auxiliary structures in one of a series of extended longitudinal positions relative to the main structures for varying the volume of the carrier body holding cavity. The carrier body has a generally upright orientation when in a freestanding resting position and can be angularly tilted to assume a transport orientation wherein it rests on a pair of ski-like skids attached thereto. A storage compartment is attached to the carrier body so as to underlie the bottom platform structure, and a pair of ground wheels are rotatably mounted at opposite sides of the compartment.
