Abstract:
A method of constructing a bottle carrier for a hand truck supported on transversely spaced wheels and having a normally generally vertically disposed hand truck frame with a forwardly extending load supporting nose piece mounted at its lower end and with handle surface at its upper end, the hand truck frame comprising transversely spaced side rails joined by at least a pair of vertically spaced cross rails between its upper and lower ends above said nosepiece including the steps of:a. providing a generally upright bottle carrier frame having a platform projecting generally perpendicularly relative to said frame of a size to support a bottle having an upper neck end and lower bottom end in upright position, and which incorporates a rigid bottle girth enveloping band projecting generally perpendicularly relative to said frame of a size to closely embrace the diameter of an upright bottle on said platform fixed to said frame above said platform to retain the bottle intermediate its upper and lower ends; andb. providing vertically spaced load bearing hookover parts on said carrier frame spaced vertically above and below said band and projecting oppositely to said band spaced apart vertically a distance corresponding to the vertical spacing of said pair of cross rails and configured to disengagably latch said carrier against the cross-rails.
