Leverage cart assembly

摘要

A leverage cart assembly is used to lift and move a load. The leverage cart assembly has a load plate that is coupled to a support framework. The load to be lifted is placed on the lift plate and is strapped to the support framework. A hand truck assemblage is provided that is used to raise and lower the load plate, the support framework, and the attached load. The hand truck assemblage includes a cart framework that is supported on wheels. At least one lift plate extends from the cart framework and engages the load plate with a hinged connection. As the hand truck assemblage is tilted, the lift arm inclines. This elevates the load plate and the load. However, due to the hinge connection, the orientation of the load plate relative the load remains constant as the load plate and load are lifted.

主权项

1. A leverage cart assembly, comprising:
a load plate upon which a load can rest; a support framework affixed to said load plate, wherein said support framework extends primarily in a first plane and said load plate extends from said support framework forward of said first plane; a cart framework that extends primarily in a second plane; wheels for supporting said cart framework; a lift arm having a flat top plate and a distal end, wherein said lift arm extends as a cantilever away from said cart framework at a perpendicular to said second plane; a hinge connection that connects said distal end of said lift arm to said load plate, wherein said load plate is free to pivot with said hinge joint about said distal end and wherein said load plate lays flat atop said flat top plate of said lift arm when said cart framework is upright and said secondary plane of said cart framework is vertical.
