Abstract:
A firewood transport and storage device comprising;(a) a base frame member comprising first and second planar U-shaped tubular frame sections held in parallel orientation a selected distance apart by a plurality of support cross members fastened perpendicularly between said U-shaped first and second frame sections, said base frame member having a generally horizontal center portion and first and second generally vertical end portions;(b) a two-wheeled chassis assembly attached to a first end of said base frame member horizontal center portion opposite said first generally vertical end portion attached thereto, said chassis assembly elevating said base frame member first end a selected distance above a support surface, each wheel of said chassis assembly positioned exterior said first and second planar U-shaped tubular frame sections;(c) a support member attached to a second end of said base frame member horizontal center portion opposite said second generally vertical end portion attached thereto, said support member elevating said base frame member second end a like selected distance above the support surface, at least a portion of said support member extending exterior said first and second planar U-shaped tubular frame sections;(d) a pair of rigid tubular handle members each with first and second ends, a first handle member coplanar and pivotally attached at said handle member first end to said planar first U-shaped frame section contained in said second generally vertical end portion adjacent said support member, a second handle member coplanar and pivotally attached at said handle member first end to said planar second U-shaped frame section contained in said second generally vertical end portion adjacent said support member; and(e) means for pivoting each handle member from a vertical orientation, with said second end of each handle member adjacent the support surface, to a horizontal orientation, with said second end of each handle member moving no higher than said first end of each handle member.
