Multi-position garden cart

Claim 1

In combination with a pliable bag having a bottom and an elongate continuous sidewall that extends upwardly therefrom, a multi-position garden cart that may be disposed to have debris swept thereinto and then positioned to have said debris discharged from said cart into said bag when the latter is removably supported from the latter said garden cart including: a. a debris receiving dimensionally stable bin defined by a flat bottom, a first end wall substantially normal to said bottom, a second end wall that extends upwardly and outwardly from said bottom, and a pair of laterally spaced, substantially parallel sidewalls that extend between said first and second end walls and are connected to said bottom; b. two laterally spaced, parallel, vertically disposed frames adjacently disposed to the exterior surfaces of said sidewalls; c. first means for pivotally supporting said bin from said frames; d. a pair of parallel laterally spaced wheels; e. a transverse shaft secured to said frame, said shaft having said wheels rotatably mounted thereon, and said shaft having the portion of said bottom most adjacent said second end wall resting thereon when said frames and bin are in a first position to limit the pivotal movement of said bin to a position beyond that at which said bottom is horizontally disposed; f. a U-shaped rigid handle secured to upwardly disposed portions of said frames for concurrently pivoting said bin and said frames to a second position where said second end wall is adjacently disposed to the surface on which said wheels rest and said debris can be swept into said bin, and said handle being usable to concurrently pivot said bin and frames from said second to said first position after said bin has had said debris disposed therein; g. second means for removably supporting said bag in a depending position within said handle when said frame is in said first position to permit said bin to be pivoted to a third position above said frame where said debris can be swept from said bin into said bag; and h. third means for temporarily maintaining said bin in said third position during the time said debris is being moved from said bin to fall by gravity into said bag.
