Abstract
Abstract A device for moving objects that are normally temporarily used, such objects being, for example, furniture or the like used on beaches. The device is composed of an elongated shaft having a pair of wheels mounted on opposite ends thereof. A pair of blocks are axially slidably movable on the shaft and have a receiving groove therein for receiving a projection on the object which is to be transported. As a result, the object can be placed between the pair of blocks and the blocks adjusted to engage the peripheral edges of the object to clamp the object therebetween. Thereafter, the article can be transported on the wheels to the desired location.
