Portable folding utility carrier

Claim 1

A portable folding utility carrier apparatus for transporting objects, comprising: a. a foldable hollow shell having a first half and a second half, each half having an interior surface, an exterior surface, a distal end, a proximal end, a first sidewall and a second sidewall; b. means for hingeably attaching said proximal end of said first half to said proximal end of said second half; c. said interior surfaces of said first and second halves each having a cavity at a location adjacent to said respective distal end; d. a front steering wheel assembly having two front wheels supported on a steering support; e. means for mounting said steering support inside said cavity of said first half, such that said steering support can be steered freely and said two front wheels are extended partially beyond said interior surface of said first half; f. a leash attached to said front steering wheel assembly for pulling said portable utility carrier; g. said exterior surface of said second half having a recess shelf for placing a foldable back support; h. said foldable back support having a first panel and a second panel, each having a top edge and a bottom edge; i. means for hingeably attaching said bottom edge of said first panel to said first and second sidewalls of said second half at a location adjacent to said proximal end of said second half; j. means for hingeably attaching said top edge of said second panel to said first panel at a location adjacent to said top edge of said first panel, such that said bottom edge of said second panel is movable; k. means for retaining said foldable back support in said recess shelf of said exterior surface of said second half; l. a first rear wheel assembly and a second rear wheel assembly, each supported by a supporting bracket; m. said first and second rear wheel assemblies integrally molded inside said cavity of said interior surface of said second half at spaced apart locations adjacent to said distal end of said second half, such that each supporting bracket is secured inside said cavity of said second half and said first and second wheel assemblies are extended partially beyond said interior surface of said second half; and n. a handle member integrally attached to said distal end of said second half for carrying said portable utility carrier; o. whereby when said portable folding utility carrier apparatus is not in use, said foldable hollow shell can be folded by closing said distal end of said first half towards and in parallel with said distal end of said second half and retained together by said leash, and when said portable folding utility carrier apparatus is to be used, said foldable hollow shell can be unfolded by opening said distal end of said first half away from and in coaxial alignment with said distal end of said second half.
