ABSTRACT:
A cart for storing and transporting gardening tools and materials includes a shell, a wheel assembly journalled to the shell for transporting the shell and a steering assembly fixed to a rear portion of the shell for guiding the shell during transport. The shell has a rectangular bottom and front and side walls formed from arrays of tubular pots, each for receiving a tool through an open upper end thereof. The wheel assembly includes an axle extending transversely across the shell at approximately its midpoint and through the side walls. The wheels are large in relation to the shell and are disposed in wells defined by the bottoms of the tool pots contoured substantially to an hemispherical arc concentric with the wheels. At least one of the rearmost pots of each shell side wall extends below the shell bottom as legs which, together with the wheels, supporting said shell in a substantially level condition. The steering assembly includes arms extending rearwardly from the side walls, a rod extending between rearmost portions of the arms and at least one pair of reels independently mounted between the arms on a common shaft. A vertical stack of compartments spaced by shelves therebetween and an open compartment extend the full depth of the shell. Each stacked compartment may contain a drawer horizontally slidable into and vertically liftable out of the open compartment. Permanent work surfaces may also be provided over the stacked compartment and the steering assembly.
