Application November 25, 1955, Serial No. 548,806
1 Claim. (Cl. 280-4713) This invention relates to dollies and is particularly adapted for the moving of folding tables, sheets of lumber and other types of sheet stock and the like.
The primary object of this invention is to provide a moving dolly that is adapted to receive and carry folding tables, sheets of material and the like, requiring but one operator to handle the same.
A further object of the invention is to design a dolly that will support the load and prevent the same from tipping over without being held by the operator while being supported on the dolly.
A still further object of the invention is the designing of a moving dolly for folding tables and the like that is so designed as to be easy to move about or pivot about its center.
Another object of the invention is to provide a design of dolly frame that can be adapted to any thickness of table top or package of sheet material by simply adding or subtracting shims therein.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a carrying handle associated with the dolly, making it easy to carry about by the operator in the use of the same.
Another object of the dolly is that it is self-aligning when being applied to the load to be carried, requiring no separate manipulation by the operator while loading the table or sheet material thereon.
Another object of the invention is the providing of supporting legs thereon that will maintain the device in a fixed position for easy loading or unloading of the object being carried by the same.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the dolly having a folding table or other sheet object mounted thereon.
Figure 2 is an enlarged side elevational view of the dolly, illustrating a fragmentary portion of a load being supported thereon by broken lines.
Figure 3 is an end sectional view, partly in cross-section, taken on the 1ine'3-3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the dolly.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of one of the removable shims for adjusting the same to various widths of loads.
The dolly is indicated by the letter D and consists of an elongated U-shaped frame 10. This frame consists of a body or base 11 having an upturned side 12, extending upwardly and outwardly at a slight angle to the base. Disposed oppositely and spaced from this side is a relatively lower side 13. This side is disposed at right angles to the base 11. Extending horizontally from the upper end of this side is a fender 14. The side 12 extends upwardly at 15 and has a slot 16 formed therein, providing a handle for carrying the dolly from place to place.
2,816,771 i atented Dec. 17, 1957 Extending downwardly and forming part of the base 11 is a boss 17. This boss is adapted to receive and hold the transverse shaft 18 to which the supporting wheels 19 and 19' are journalled in a conventional well known manner.
Extending downwardly from each end of the base 11 are legs 20. These legs are adapted to support the ends of the dolly, as indicated by broken lines in Figure 2, while the same is being loaded with a table top 21 or other sheet material. In order to support the load by itself when loaded on the dolly, the load should be held within the dolly at the proper angle to counterbalance its weight equally from both sides of the load. This is best illustrated in Figure 3.
In the operation of the dolly, the dolly is adapted to tilt either one way or the other resting on one of the legs 20, as illustrated in broken lines, Figure 2. The operator grasps one end of the load 21 raising the same and bringing the same towards the dolly.
If the dolly is somewhat transverse of the load the load will strike one of the ends of the upwardly extending wall 12, which will align the same to the load. When the load is in alignment with the dolly the operator lowers the load onto the base 11. The load is then brought to the position shown in Figure l and moved to its destination on the dolly.
The dolly may be moved from place to place by grasping the slot 16 of the upwardly extending handle portion 15.
Having described and illustrated one embodiment of this invention in detail, it will be understood that the same is ofiered merely by Way of example, and that the invention is to be limited only by the scope of the appended claim.
What is claimed is:
A dolly comprising an elongated substantially U-shaped article receiving frame including a pair of spaced side members having one of their respective adjacent ends connected by a bight portion, leg members arranged in depending relation at opposite ends of said bight portion, one of said side members projecting upwardly from said bight portion and outwardly therefrom at an obtuse angle relative thereto and having a projecting portion extending upwardly above the upper end of the other of said side members, said projecting portion having an elongated slot formed therein to provide a handle, a boss integrally formed with said bight portion and depending therefrom intermediate the longitudinal ends thereof, a shaft mounted in said boss and having its ends projecting on opposite sides of said side members, and a wheel journalled for rotation on each end of said shaft.
