Wheeled carrier for panel materials

Claim 2

A movable carrier for transportation of a panel article comprising: a) a wheeled base member; b) means attached to said base member for supporting in an approximately vertical orientation which is approximately perpendicular to said base member said panel article; c) a reversibly attachable storage compartment; and d) means for attaching a lower surface of said storage compartment to said base member.

Claim 3

A movable carrier for transporting panel articles comprising: a) an elongated base member having an upper surface and a lower surface, front and back edges, and side edges; b) at least two wheels counted transversely proximate said lower surface of said base member; c) at least two swiveling wheels mounted longitudinally proximate said lower surface of said base member, wherein said longitudinally mounted wheels are inset towards said base member lower surface relative to said transversely mounted wheels, so said movable carrier balances on said transversely mounted wheels when said base member is in a level position; d) means attached to said base member for supporting at least one said panel; e) a reversibly attachable storage area having an upper shelf surface, a lower surface, and side surfaces; f) means for attaching said lower surface of said storage area to said base member.

Claim 4

A movable carrier for transporting panel articles comprising: a) an elongated base member having an upper surface and a lower surface, front and back edges, and side edges; b) at least two wheels counted transversely proximate said lower surface of said base member; c) at least two swiveling wheels mounted longitudinally proximate said lower surface of said base member, wherein said longitudinally mounted wheels are inset towards said base member lower surface relative to said transversely mounted wheels, so said movable carrier balances on said transversely mounted wheels when said base member is in a level position; d) means attached to said base member for supporting at least one said panel; e) a reversibly attachable storage area having an upper shelf surface, a lower surface, and side surfaces; f) means for attaching said lower surface of said storage area to said base member.

Claim 5

A movable carrier according to claim 2, wherein said supporting means comprises at least one longitudinal slot on said upper base member surface for supporting said panel.

Claim 6

A movable carrier according to claim 2, wherein said supporting means comprises a plurality of longitudinal slots on said upper surface for supporting said panels.

Claim 7

A hand-operated movable carrier for transporting doors, windows, and construction panels which comprises: a) a flat, elongated base member having an upper surface, a lower surface, front and back edges, and side edges; b) two longitudinally mounted, freely pivoting casters affixed proximate said lower surface proximate said front and back edges of said base member; c) two transversely mounted wheel supports affixed to said lower surface of said base member, proximate each of said side edges; d) two transversely mounted wheels affixed to said transversely mounted wheel supports; e) a plurality of support members projecting longitudinally from said upper surface of said base member to support said panels; f) a reversibly attachable storage compartment having an upper shelf surface, a lower surface, a front and a back surface, and side surfaces; g) a means of attaching said storage compartment to said base member.

Claim 8

A hand-operated movable carrier for transporting doors, windows, and construction panels which comprises: a) a flat, elongated base member having an upper surface, a lower surface, front and back edges, and side edges; b) two longitudinally mounted, freely pivoting casters affixed proximate said lower surface proximate said front and back edges of said base member; c) two transversely mounted wheel supports affixed to said lower surface of said base member, proximate each of said side edges; d) two transversely mounted wheels affixed to said transversely mounted wheel supports; e) a plurality of support members projecting longitudinally from said upper surface of said base member to support said panels; f) a reversibly attachable storage compartment having an upper shelf surface, a lower surface, a front and a back surface, and side surfaces; g) a means of attaching said storage compartment to said base member.

Claim 9

A hand-operated movable carrier according to claim 5, wherein said storage compartment has said lower surface recessed and said side surfaces spaced apart to span one or more of said longitudinal support members, with said front and back surfaces of said storage compartment spaced apart to extend over a length of said longitudinal support members.
