Transportable and collapsible bag carrying cart

摘要

A bag holding cart for use in collecting and conveying materials in a hospital, hotel, or other institution (as well as in industrial and residential environments) comprising a pair of inverted U- shaped frame support members having an adjustable pivotable connection at about their respective centers is presented. This adjustable pivotable connection is an important feature of the present invention as it permits the cart to be adjusted for various bag sizes. A unitary base is provided to the lower portion of the cart. This base is pivotably connected to one of the frame members and is detachably connected to the other frame member by a bracket connected to the base, which affords a snap lock between the base and frame member. This bracket is also an important feature of the present invention as it prevents vertical movement of the base. A cover is pivotably attached to the upper portion of the cart and may be activated by a foot pedal which is linked to the cover by a pair of wire supports.
