Patent ID: 8764046

Claim:
A utility cart that is capable of being converted into a collapsed position, a flat cart position, a dolly position, and a tilted position, which comprises: (a) an interconnected frame that comprises three sections, with a first section connected to a second section by a first joint and the second section connected to a third section by a second joint; and (b) a support arm mechanism that attaches to the second section at a first end of the support arm mechanism, and to a bottom portion of the utility cart at a second end of the support arm mechanism, wherein the second end of the support arm mechanism is reversibly securable to a plurality of points along the bottom portion of the utility cart, wherein: (i) securing the second end of the support arm mechanism along the plurality of points along the bottom portion causes a load bearing surface formed by the second section and third section to move forwards or backwards, when the utility cart is in a tilted position; and (ii) the second joint is configured to allow the third section to rotate and reversibly lock into a position that is parallel and contiguous with the second section when the utility cart is converted to the dolly and tilted positions, rotate and reversibly lock into a position that is approximately perpendicular with the second section when the utility cart is converted to the flat cart position, and rotate and reversibly lock into a position that rests adjacent to the second section when the utility cart is converted to the collapsed position.
