Abstract

A transport device cart having a frame assembly having one or more arms corresponding to and capable of engaging a removable bucket; one or more movement mechanisms; and a latching post. It also includes a latching assembly rotatably coupled to the frame assembly having a hooking latch capable of engaging and disengaging the latching post. A handle assembly is coupled to the latching assembly, wherein the handle assembly can be rotated back and used to push the removable bucket into a substantially inverted position.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A transport device cart comprising:
 a) frame assembly having one or more arms corresponding to and capable of engaging a removable bucket; one or more movement mechanisms; and a latching post;   b) a latching assembly rotatably coupled to the frame assembly having a hooking latch capable of engaging and disengaging the latching post; and   c) a handle assembly coupled to the latching assembly, wherein the handle assembly can be rotated back and used to push the removable bucket into a substantially inverted position.   
     
     
         2 . The transport device cart of  claim 1 , wherein the latch assembly further comprises two base pieces connected at substantially 90 degree angles to a connection piece. 
     
     
         3 . The transport device cart of  claim 2 , wherein the latch assembly further comprises a u-shaped fastener secured to the connection piece. 
     
     
         4 . The transport device cart of  claim 3 , wherein the latch assembly further comprises a hook latch rotatably coupled to the fastener. 
     
     
         5 . The transport device cart of  claim 4 , wherein the hook latch is two or more hook pieces connected substantially parallel to one another and separated by a spacer. 
     
     
         6 . The transport device cart of  claim 5 , wherein the hook latch includes a threaded receptacle between the hook pieces. 
     
     
         7 . The transport device cart of  claim 4 , wherein the hook latch is a substantially single piece. 
     
     
         8 . The transport device cart of  claim 1  wherein the handle assembly is removable. 
     
     
         9 . The transport device cart of  claim 1 , wherein the handle assembly includes a locking pivot mechanism. 
     
     
         10 . The transport device cart of  claim 9 , wherein the handle assembly and the latch assembly are coupled at a sleeve thereby allowing the handle assembly to pivot in a variety of orientations such that the transport device cart can be easily moved in a relatively small space. 
     
     
         11 . The transport device cart of  claim 1 , wherein the hook latch is capable of disengaging the latching post when the bucket is being emptied such that the bucket can be tipped until substantially upside down. 
     
     
         12 . The transport device cart of  claim 1 , further comprising a kickstand. 
     
     
         13 . The transport device cart of  claim 12 , wherein the kickstand includes a pedal. 
     
     
         14 . The transport device cart of  claim 12 , wherein the kickstand is coupled to the frame assembly with one or more sleeves. 
     
     
         15 . The transport device cart of  claim 12 , wherein the kickstand further includes a stopping mechanism that prevents the kickstand from motion beyond a predetermined point. 
     
     
         16 . The transport device cart of  claim 15 , wherein the stopping mechanism further comprises a stopper fastened to the frame assembly; and one or more ends of a gap in the sleeve, wherein the ends of the gap but up against the stopper thus preventing the kickstand from motion beyond a predetermined point. 
     
     
         17 . The transport device cart of  claim 12 , further comprising a spring rod mechanism. 
     
     
         18 . The transport device cart of  claim 1  wherein the one or more arms are bent.
