Hand truck mounting structure

摘要

A mounting structure for a hand truck is described. Embodiments of the present invention include a mounting structure adapted to be secured to a hand truck. Generally, the mounting structure can be implemented to secure a strapping device to the hand truck. The mounting structure can generally include a body, a first member, a second member, and a spring. Typically, the first member can be slidably coupled to the body and the second member can be fixedly coupled to the body. The first member and the second member can include concave faces to interface with a frame of the hand truck. The mounting structure can couple to the hand truck in a variety of locations to ensure that the strapping device is optimally positioned to secure a particular load.

主权项

1. A mounting structure for use with a hand truck, the mounting structure comprising:
a body having a substantially rectangular cross-section, a first end, a second end, and an aperture; a first member slidably coupled to the body approximate the first end, the first member being a block having a substantially rectangular cross-section and being partially inserted into the body;
wherein an end of the first member located outside the body has a concave face that engages a frame of the hand truck in a first location; a second member fixedly coupled to the body approximate the second end, the second member being a block having a substantially rectangular cross-section and being partially inserted into the body;
wherein an end of the second member located outside the body has a concave face that engages the frame of the hand truck in the first location; a spring located between the first member and the second member inside the body, the spring providing a constant restorative force to the first member when the first member is engaged to the frame of the hand truck; and a strapping device coupled to the body proximate the aperture, the strapping device adapted to rotate in a plane parallel to a plane defined by the mounting structure; wherein the first member and the second member are each adapted to be disengaged from the frame of the hand truck and engaged to the frame of the hand truck in a second location.
