ABSTRACT:
A cart-like vehicle has a symmetric concave body portion which is pivoted on a frame on a tilt axis above the axis of the wheels so that the cart may be tilted in one longitudinal direction to serve as a personnel conveyance, or may be loaded with its carrying compartment upright and unloaded by merely tilting the body in a second longitudinal direction to a dumping position. The body portion is substantially wedge-shaped, with its tilt axis closer to the top than to the bottom, so the body may be readily pivoted in either longitudinal direction. Both of said axes lie substantially in the transverse, vertical mid-plane of the body when said body is upright. Means are provided to support a seat for using the cart as a passenger vehicle when tilted in one direction, and the cart also includes means for supporting a cover or shelves when the cart is used to convey liquids or as a free-standing serving cart. Adjustable stabilizing means are provided to stabilize the body in its various pivoted positions relative to the frame. When tilted longitudinally to a dumping position, the upper edge of one of the two converging, fore-and-aft, walls can be swung down to be adjacent to the vehicle-supporting surface. A canopy is mountable over the carrying compartment, when desired, and the cart's frame is adapted for moving the vehicle and may also be used to mount various accessories such as spraying equipment, lawn rollers and the like to further diversify the purposes for which the cart may be used.
