Abstract:
A dolly device for facilitating moving of an object by a user, the dolly device comprising:a base member being adapted for supporting the object when the object is placed on said base member; a pair of side members being oppositely coupled to said base member, each of said side members being positioned substantially orthogonally to said base member, said side members being adapted for engaging the object for inhibiting the object from tipping off of said base member when the object is positioned on said base member; at least one wheel being rotatably coupled to each of said side members, said wheel being adapted for rollably engaging a support surface for facilitating movement of the object across the support surface when the object is positioned on said base member and said base member is moved across the support surface by the user; a plurality of expansion members being coupled to a lower surface of said base member, each of said expansion members being coupled between said side members, each of said expansion members being adjustable for varying a length of the associated one of said expansion member for adjusting a distance between said side member such that said side members are adapted for engaging objects of varying widths when the object is placed on said base member; each of said expansion members comprising a main portion and a pair of sleeve portions, said main portion being coupled to said lower surface of said base member, each of said sleeve portions slidably engaging said main portion, each of said sleeve portions being coupled to one of said side members such that said sleeve portions slide on said main portion for adjusting the distance between said side members; and each of said expansion members comprising a pair of plate members, one of said plate members being coupled to a free end of one of said sleeve portions, the associated one of said side members being hingably coupled to an upper edge of the associated one of said plate members such that each of said side members is selectively pivotally to be positioned over an upper surface of said base member for facilitating storage.
