Pool table dollie

Claim 2

A dollie for pool tables and the like comprising a pair of laterally spaced sections, each section including a wheel mounting base and a table stabilizing upright portion, and means releasably and rigidly interconnecting said sections in a manner whereby a selective separating of the sections for introduction of a table or the like therebetween can be effected, said means comprising cradle means pivotally mounted on a first one of said sections and selectively movable between a first collapsed position generally parallel to the associated upright portion and a second loading position projecting laterally from the upright portion, said cradle means including an outer end releasably lockable to the second section when the cradle means is in the second position thereof.

Claim 3

The dollie of claim 1 wherein said sections are laterally adjustable relative to each other to accommodate tables of different depths, said cradle means releasably interlocking said sections in any of a plurality of laterally adjusted positions.

Claim 4

The dollie of claim 2 wherein said cradle means comprises a pair of cradle arms, each of said cradle arms being pivotally secured to the base of the first section, latch means on said first section base for releasably locking each arm in the second position of the cradle means.

Claim 5

The dollie of claim 3 wherein each cradle arm includes a series of downwardly opening vertical slots defined therein at spaced points along the length thereof inward from the outer end of the arm, said second section including vertical plate means for selective reception within the cradle arm slots in accordance with the desired lateral distance between the sections.

Claim 6

The dollie of claim 4 including a spring-loaded latch means mounted on said second section in overlying spaced relation to the vertical cradle arm receiving plate means, said latch means being selectively retractable so as to enable engagement of the cradle arm slots over the vertical plate means, and selectively extensible so as to retain the plate engaged cradle arms.

Claim 7

The dollie of claim 3 including latch means on the base of the second section for releasably locking said cradle arms in engagement with the second section base.

Claim 8

The dollie of claim 6 including a support unit mounted on one of said sections and movable between a first position collapsed against the upright portion and a second position angled outwardly and downwardly therefrom for cooperation with the section in orientating the section at a slight inclination to the vertical.

Claim 9

The dollie of claim 7 including rocker means removably mountable on one section to project laterally outward therefrom, said rocker means being vertically arcuate and outwardly convex, extending upwardly from the base to enable a lateral rocking of the section from a substantially vertical position to a substantially horizontal position for a horizontal orientating of a supported table or the like.

Claim 10

A dollie for pool tables and the like comprising a pair of laterally spaced sections, each section including a wheel mounting base and a table stabilizing upright portion, and means releasably and rigidly interconnecting said sections in a manner whereby a selective separating of the sections for introduction of a table or the like therebetween can be effected, said means comprising cradle means mounted on a first one of said sections and selectively movable between a first collapsed position against said one section and a second loading position projecting laterally outward from said one section, said cradle means including an outer end releasably lockable to the second section when the cradle means is in the second position thereof, said sections being laterally adjustable relative to each other to accommodate tables of different depths, said cradle means releasably interlocking said sections in any of a plurality of laterally adjusted positions.

Claim 11

A dollie for pool tables and the like comprising a pair of laterally spaced sections, each section including a wheel mounting base and a table stabilizing upright portion, and means releasably and rigidly interconnecting said sections in a manner whereby a selective separating of the sections for introduction of a table or the like therebetween can be effected, said means comprising cradle means mounted on a first one of said sections and selectively movable between a first collapsed position against said one section and a second loading position projecting laterally outward from said one section, said cradle means including an outer end releasably lockable to the second section when the cradle means is in the second position thereof, said sections being laterally adjustable relative to each other to accommodate tables of different depths, said cradle means releasably interlocking said sections in any of a plurality of laterally adjusted positions.

Claim 12

The dollie of claim 9 wherein said cradle means comprises a pair of cradle arms, each of said cradle arms being pivotally secured to the base of the first section, latch means on said first section base for releasably locking each arm in the second position of the cradle means.
