System for converting a door to a cart

Abstract

A cart may include a door forming a bed of the cart and a pair of wheel attachment assemblies. Each wheel attachment assembly may include (a) a fender having a planar expanse configured to abut a lower major face of the door, (b) a clamping member coupled to the fender, the clamping member configured to be coupled to an upper major face of the door and abut an edge face of the door, and (c) a wheel fork coupled to the fender and configured to be coupled to an axle of a wheel. The cart may include a handle clamp configured to be coupled to an edge portion of the planar member and a handle configured to be coupled to the handle clamp.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A method of converting a door into a bed of a cart, the method comprising:
 removing a door from a doorway;   coupling a pair of wheel attachment assemblies to the door, each wheel attachment assembly including:
 a clamp portion configured to couple the wheel attachment assembly to an edge portion of a door; and 
 a fork configured to be coupled to a wheel; 
   coupling a pair of wheels to the pair of wheel attachment assemblies; and   coupling a handle to the door.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein coupling a pair of wheels to the pair of wheel attachment assemblies includes coupling a bicycle wheel to each of the pair of wheel attachment assemblies. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein coupling a pair of wheel attachment assemblies to the door includes receiving a respective edge portion of the door in a channel of the clamp portion for each of the pair of wheel attachment assemblies. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the clamp portion includes (a) a fender having a planar expanse and configured to abut an underside of the door and (b) a clamping member configured to be coupled to a top side of the door, and the channel is defined as a space between the fender and the clamping member. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein coupling a pair of wheel attachment assemblies to the door includes threading a plurality of bolts through apertures in the clamping member so that the plurality of bolts exert a clamping pressure on the top side of the door. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein coupling a handle to the door includes coupling a handle clamp to an edge portion of the door. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein coupling a handle to the door includes threading a plurality of bolts through apertures in the handle clamp so that the plurality of bolts exert a clamping pressure on the top side of the door. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein coupling a handle to the door includes coupling the handle clamp to one of the pair of wheel attachment assemblies via a rigid member.
