ABSTRACT:
An improved folding creeper designed for being folded to define a rolling utility cart, a rolling stool having a storage receptacle under the seat, or to be folded for storage within a drawer of a conventional tool chest. The improved creeper includes a frame segmented into a first support frame hingeably attached to a second support frame, which is hingeably attached to a third support frame. First, second and third cushions are mounted to the respective support frames to provide comfort to the user. A head rest cushion is attached to the cushion mounted on the third support frame via a tether. Casters are secured under the first and second support frames for accomplishing mobility of the creeper in its various configurations. A pair of oppositely disposed first telescoping braces is provided for maintaining a selected relative orientation of the third support frame and the first and second support frames, collectively. A pair of oppositely disposed second telescoping braces is provided for maintaining a selected orientation of the second support frame with respect to the first support frame. The improved creeper may be manipulated to define several useful configurations. The third support frame is pivoted upwardly to elevate the head of the user when the improved creeper is configured to define a creeper. In another configuration, the improved creeper is manipulated to define a rolling stool having a compartment for carrying accessories, or a rolling utility cart. The improved creeper may be folded to a size which may be conveniently stored in a storage drawer of a conventional tool chest.
