Abstract
A wagon assembly for use in gardening and lawn care comprises a wagon body structure which provides a main compartment. The main compartment accommodates the carriage of items and materials used in gardening and lawn care. A handle structure is pivotally connected to a forward end of the wagon body structure such that the handle structure moves between a stacking position and a range of operating positions. Wheel structures are rotatably connected to the wagon body structure and are constructed to enable the wagon assembly to be rolled manually by exerting force on the handle structure. Upwardly facing supporting surfaces are constructed and arranged to support a first similar wagon assembly aligned above the wagon assembly in a stable stacking and nesting relation with the handle structure of the wagon assembly in the stacking position such that portions of wheel structures of the first similar wagon assembly are disposed between upper peripheral edges of the wagon body structure. Downwardly facing stacking surfaces are constructed and arranged to engage upwardly facing supporting surfaces of a second similar wagon assembly such that portions of the wheel structures of the wagon assembly are disposed below upper peripheral edges of the second similar wagon assembly when the wagon assembly is aligned above the second similar assembly in a stable stacking and nesting relation.
