ABSTRACT:
A pivotable cart is disclosed which has a first and second support members for supporting a rolled material. The first and second support members are pivotable relative to each other to a storage position. In the pivoted storage position, the cart requires a minimum amount of space. The cart may be easily pivotable outwardly to a use position where it will adequately support an elongate rolled material. The support members are preferably identical, and connected to a pair of spaced wheels such that the support members pivot about the wheel axis relative to each other. A chain prevents the two support members from pivoting relative to each other beyond a predetermined amount. Further, the support members each include a support surface having a generally V-shape with an apex aligned with an apex of the other support member to provide a ditch for support of the coiled material. The apex on each of the support members are spaced laterally inwardly from a cross member connecting the support structure to a wheel bushing. In this way the weight of the carpet is borne laterally between the cross members such that the cart adequately supports the weight.
