Patent ID: 6935642

Claim:
A portable apparatus, comprising: a mechanical device for conducting a task; a cart-type frame assembly including: a multi-segmented base frame member with a first segment for mounting the mechanical device thereto, a second segment extending from an end of the first segment substantially perpendicular to the first segment, a third segment extending from the second segment at an oblique angle generally towards the first segment and a fourth segment extending substantially perpendicularly from the first segment distal from the second segment; a pair of spaced apart wheel members, mounted to the first segment adjacent the intersection of the first and second segments, for rolling transport over a surface; a foot member connected to the first frame segment proximal the fourth segment, for supporting the apparatus along with the wheels, when the apparatus is rested on a surface; a substantially U-shaped obliquely angled handle frame member removably connected to the fourth segment of the base frame member, for manipulating the apparatus during transport; and a securing device for adjustably securing the base frame member to the handle frame member; wherein the base frame member forms a partial cage around the mechanical device for preventing damage.
