Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 328 words
A combination beach caddy and beach chair unit comprising: (a) a first elongated U-shaped frame member having a pair of spaced apart arms and a handle portion; (b) a first web extending between said arms of said first U-shaped frame member; (c) an axle extending between distal ends of said arms of said first U-shaped frame member; (d) a pair of rollers rotatably mounted on said axle; (e) a second U-shaped frame member having a pair of spaced apart arms secured to distal ends thereof transversely to said arms of said first U-shaped frame member between said first web and said axle; (f) a second web extending between said arms of said second U-shaped frame member so that when said unit is used as said beach caddy an article to be transported is supported between said first and second web in which a person can grip and pull said handle portion allowing said rollers to travel over sand and when said unit is used as said beach chair, said first U-shaped frame member is tipped downwardly allowing said handle portion to make contact with said sand so that said person can sit upon said first web with said second web acting as a backrest for said person; (g) a pair of annular protrusion members, each of which is affixed to circumference of one of said rollers to increase traction and prevent sea saw movement when said rollers travel over said sand and pavement; (h) a pair of L-shaped brackets, each secured to said distal end of one of said arms of said second U-shaped frame member and pivotally attached to one of said arms of said first U-shaped frame member between said first web and said axle; and (i) a rod extending between and affixed to said L-shaped brackets so that said second U-shaped frame member can be held in position when in use and flipped towards said first U-shaped frame member when said unit is being stored.
