Patent ID: 7229093

Claim:
A carrying cart for transporting goods and comprising: a first member having substantially planar and solid top and bottom surfaces and a centrally disposed longitudinal axis, said first member further having opposed edge portions equally spaced from the axis and extending substantially parallel thereto, said first member further having opposed front and rear end portions integral with said edge portions respectively and extending substantially perpendicular to the axis; a plurality of elongated leg members pivotally connected to said first member and being selectively movable between operating and non-operating positions, said plurality of leg members comprising a plurality of wheels connected said plurality of leg members for allowing a user to readily transport said carry cart between remote positions; a plurality of support braces having opposed end portions connected to said first member and said plurality of leg members, said plurality of support braces for maintaining said plurality of leg members at a substantially stable position; a handle having a plurality of spaced lower end portions pivotally connected directly to said first member and being movable between up and down positions, said handle having an upper end portion for providing a gripping surface so that a user can effectively control the movement of said carrying cart; and means for locking said handle at select positions as desired by a user, said locking means comprising a plurality of brackets connected to said plurality of lower end portions of said handle respectively and being contemporaneously rotatable therewith, said plurality of brackets having a plurality of corresponding notches formed therein and spaced about a perimeter thereof, a plurality of locking pins removably engageable with select ones of said plurality of notches so that said handle can be securely maintained at a corresponding position, wherein said locking pins have longitudinal lengths extending parallel to the axis of said first member, and a plurality of linear support rails directly coupled to said sides of said first member and being spaced apart for defining a passageway therebetween, each of said locking pins having a first linear arm and a second linear arm monolithically coupled thereto and arranged in such a manner that said first linear arm slidably glides along said passageway while said second linear arm protrudes outwardly therefrom, said support rails having longitudinal lengths greater than a longitudinal length of said first arms so that said first arms become intermediately disposed along said passageway and spaced between axially opposed ends of said support rails.
