ABSTRACT:
A cart for transporting objects onto beaches or other soft surfaces. The cart comprises a frame, a pivotable support platform, and at least two wheels. The frame includes a pair of elongated side rail members each having an upper end portion including a handle extending therebetween and a lower end portion through which an axle passes. The pair of wheels is mounted on the axle. The pivotable support platform comprises a generally planar plastic member having a pair of sides. A pair of pivot rods are provided to establish a horizontal pivot axis. The rods are coupled to the sides of the platform to enable it to be pivoted about that axis from a storage position wherein the platform is substantially flush with the frame to an operative position wherein the platform extends substantially perpendicularly to the frame. The platform includes a pair of cantilever brackets disposed therebelow and integrally molded therewith. Each of the brackets includes an elongated section having a channel with beads therein and being adapted to snap fit a respective one of the side rails therein to hold the platform in its operative position, whereupon objects can be placed thereon. The platform also comprises at least one support leg pivotably connected, which may be fitted into a beaded channel, thereto to enable the platform to assume a substantially horizontal position for loading it with the objects. The cart also includes an umbrella holder and a hanger for articles or alternatively a large carrying bag may be fitted over and attached to the frame of the cart.
