Utility cart

Abstract

A utility cart is an apparatus that allows a user to easily carry and access items which are placed inside of the utility car. The utility cart includes a carriage, a base, and a wheel assembly. The carriage further includes a plurality of elongated supports and a closed-shape frame. The plurality of elongated supports and the closed-shape frame define a funnel-like structural shape of the carriage which allows a user to easily access items which are placed inside of the utility cart. The base provides a structural foundation for the utility cart and the wheel assembly is integrated into the base. The wheel assembly provides a conveyance means which allows the utility cart to be translated along the ground or other surface.

         5 . The utility cart as claimed in  claim 2  comprises:
 a plate kickstand; 
 the plate kickstand comprises a distal end and a proximal end; 
 the proximal end being hingedly connected onto the support plate; 
 the distal end being oriented away from the carriage; 
 the proximal end being positioned offset from the closed-shape frame; 
 
     
     
         6 . The utility cart as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 each of the plurality of elongated supports being configured to be a telescopic support; 
 the plurality of elongated supports comprises a primary support and a plurality of secondary supports; 
 the primary support being hingedly connected to the closed-shape frame; 
 each of the plurality of secondary supports being detachably attached to the closed-shape frame; 
 each of the plurality of secondary supports being hingedly connected to the base; 
 
     
     
         7 . The utility cart as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 a bag; 
 the bag being mounted within the carriage; 
 an opening of the bag being positioned adjacent to the closed-shape frame; 
 
     
     
         8 . The utility cart as claimed in  claim 7  comprises:
 a plurality of dividers; 
 the plurality of dividers being mounted within the bag; 
 the plurality of dividers being positioned offset from each other; 
 
     
     
         9 . The utility cart as claimed in  claim 7  comprises:
 a lid; 
 the lid being hingedly connected to the closed-shape frame; 
 the lid being positioned adjacent to the opening of the bag; 
 
     
     
         10 . The utility cart as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 a plurality of support kickstands; 
 each of the plurality of support kickstands comprises a proximal end and a distal end; 
 the proximal end for each of the plurality of support kickstands being hingedly and laterally connected to a corresponding support from the plurality of elongated supports; 
 the distal end for each of the plurality of support kickstands being oriented away from the carriage; 
 the proximal end for each of the plurality of support kickstands being positioned adjacent from the closed-shape frame;
