ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to carts, more particularly to a cart for holding and organizing tools and miscellaneous other items.
The invention is especially concerned with a cart useful in the household for holding tools needed for work around the house and miscellaneous other items such as containers of fasteners (e.g. nails, screws), a can of oil, etc. It is to be understood, however, that the cart is not limited to household use; it may find use in various environments where work requiring tools and items such as mentioned are needed. Thus, among uses other than household use may be mentioned use in professional building maintenance, and use in auto repair shops, research and engineering centers and manufacturing plants.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Among the several objects of the invention may be noted the provision of an improved cart (which may also be termed a “trolley” or “caddy”) for holding tools and supplies organized and for transport thereof to whatever project where they may be needed; the provision of such a cart which may be configured to meet the user's specific tool and supply needs; the provision of such a cart with a holder for tools and/or supplies that may be readily taken off the cart for placement in proximity to work being carried out for even more convenience and readily put in place back on the cart; the provision of such a cart made up of components in such manner as to enable it to be supplied in disassembled manner for ultimate assembly, with the components such as to be compactly packaged for handling and shipping; the provision of such a cart the components of which are of relatively economical manufacture and readily assembled; and the provision of such a cart which, with minor alterations if needed, is capable of use for other than the stated tool holding and organizing purpose, such as use as a cleaning cart, as an easel and supplies organizer for artists, etc.
In general, a cart of this invention comprises a base which comprises a rectangular tray having a bottom, side walls and end walls with casters on the bottom thereof. Two uprights extend up from the base tray, one at each end wall, each narrower than and generally centered with respect to the respective end wall, the base tray extending out from the uprights on both sides thereof. Two side trays, one on each side of the uprights, extend from one upright to the other, being removably fastened thereto at a level between the lower and upper ends of the uprights. The uprights are formed for fastening the side trays at least at one other level. A top tray is removably mounted in place extending between the upper ends of the uprights.
Other objects and features will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter.
