Abstract:
A mobile storage unit adapted for use in transporting and stowing selected implements, comprising;(a) an elongated and rigid support frame having a first end and an opposite second end; (b) a primary wheel assembly rotatably journaled with respect to said support frame proximate to said first end and operative in conjunction with said first end to position said support frame upright on a transport surface while permitting movement of said support frame therealong; (c) an auxiliary wheel assembly rotatably journaled with respect to said support frame proximate to said second end, said auxiliary wheel assembly operative in conjunction with said primary wheel assembly to movably support said support frame in a horizontal position above the transport surface when the longitudinal axis of said support frame is oriented substantially parallel thereto; and (d) a first storage shelf pivotally disposed on said support frame between said first and second ends, said first storage shelf selectively movable between a stowed position wherein said first storage shelf is oriented alongside a longitudinal axis of said support frame and an extended position wherein said first storage shelf is oriented at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis such that said first storage shelf may receivably support a first container for said implements; and (e) a second storage shelf pivotally disposed on said support frame between said first and second ends, said second storage shelf selectively movable between a stowed position wherein said second storage shelf is oriented alongside the longitudinal axis and an extended position wherein said second storage shelf is oriented at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis such that said second storage shelf may receivably support a second container for said implements.
