Patent ID: 7475888

Claim:
A portable dolly frame generator, comprising: a mechanical device including: an internal combustion engine configured to generate mechanical energy; and an alternator coupled to the engine and configured to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy; and a generally L-shaped frame assembly including: a first frame portion connected to at least one of the engine and the alternator, wherein the first frame portion comprises: a substantially U-shaped member including a connecting segment, wherein said alternator is disposed generally away from the connecting segment, the connecting segment providing a lift point for hoisting the dolly frame generator, and wherein parallel segments of the U-shaped member are of a length that is at least substantially equal to a length of the mechanical device; and a pair of terminal segments disposed at an angle greater than zero degrees with respect to the U-shaped member, wherein the terminal segments include at least one generally C-shaped cross-sectional end for securing to at least one corresponding generally circular shaped cross sectional end of the second frame portion; a pair of spaced apart wheel members, mounted to the first frame member, for rolling transport over a surface; a foot member connected to the first frame portion at approximately the length of the mechanical device away from the wheel members, the foot member extending generally away from the mechanical device, for supporting the apparatus with the wheels, when the apparatus is rested on a surface; a substantially U-shaped second frame portion removably connected to the terminal segments of the first frame portion adjacent the wheel members, the second frame portion for manipulating the apparatus during transport; and means for adjustably securing the first frame portion to the second frame portion.
