Abstract
A utility cart with the improvements including an adjustable height handle, a foot activated brake, an adjustable cart partition, and easy turning swivel front wheels to assist in guiding the cart. An inverted U-shaped telescoping handle, which curves outwardly from the backside of the cart is easily adjustable for desired height. A foot-activated brake mechanism is used to apply pressure to rather large, rubber tread wheels to prevent the cart from rolling when stopped on an inclined surface. An additional foot-activated lever is used to release the brake. Three embodiments of the utility cart are disclosed, these being (1) a rigid cart for general use, (2) a collapsible cart for storing, and (3) a low profile portable cart for fitting into the trunk of a car.
