Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
A cart for transporting a plurality of fluid actuated devices comprising: an axle having ground engaging members on opposite ends thereof, said axle being a hollow tubular member which defines a fluid flow passage and said hollow tubular member including a plurality of aXially spaced openings; a plurality of hose retrievers; means rotatably mounting each hose retriever on said axle in alignment with an opening in said tubular member, each mounting means comprising first and second tubes on said hollow tubular member, said tubes being axially spaced from one another to define an annular chamber in alignment with an opening in said hollow tubular member, and a sleeve positioned over said tubes, said sleeve having a passage therein establishing communication with the annular chamber between the tubes over which the sleeve is positioned; and a plurality of hoses, one end of each hose communicating with a passage in one of said sleeves and the other end of all but one of said hoses being adapted to be connected to a fluid actuated device, the other end of said one hose being adapted to be connected to a source of fluid under pressure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A cart for transporting a plurality of fluid actuated devices comprising: an axle having ground engaging members on opposite ends thereof, said axle being a hollow tubular member which defines a fluid flow passage and said hollow tubular member including a plurality of aXially spaced openings; a plurality of hose retrievers; means rotatably mounting each hose retriever on said axle in alignment with an opening in said tubular member, each mounting means comprising first and second tubes on said hollow tubular member, said tubes being axially spaced from one another to define an annular chamber in alignment with an opening in said hollow tubular member, and a sleeve positioned over said tubes, said sleeve having a passage therein establishing communication with the annular chamber between the tubes over which the sleeve is positioned; and a plurality of hoses, one end of each hose communicating with a passage in one of said sleeves and the other end of all but one of said hoses being adapted to be connected to a fluid actuated device, the other end of said one hose being adapted to be connected to a source of fluid under pressure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A cart as defined in claim 1, including the further improvement of storage means supported on said axle for carrying devices and ancillary equipment.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A cart as defined in claim 1, in which each hose retriever is biased to a first position in which the hose associated therewith is in a retracted storage position.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
98 words
A cart as defined in claim 1 in which a plurality of flow blocking members are provided in said tubular member, one flow blocking member being positioned outwardly of the hose retrievers at each end of said tubular member, and a further flow blocking member being positioned inwardly of the hose retriever with which said one hose is associated to provide a fluid inlet chamber at one end of said tubular member; and wherein conduit means establishes communication between said inlet chamber and at least one further section of said tubular member beyond said further flow blocking member.
