Abstract

See full text

A foldable hand truck apparatus having 1) a main support frame assembly; 2) a support wheel assembly connected to the main support frame assembly which resembles a conventional hand truck structure; 3) an extendable handle assembly having a handle support tube which is anchored to the main support frame assembly; and 4) a dual foldable load assembly pivotally connected to the main support frame assembly. The extendable handle assembly includes a handle member telescopingly mounted within the handle support tube and movable from a compact storage position laterally of the handle support tube to a locked usage position. The dual foldable load assembly includes a luggage or large article support frame and a load support plate, both pivotally connected to a lower portion of the main support frame assembly. The load support plate is first pivotal to a position 90 degrees perpendicular to the main support frame assembly for carrying smaller loads thereon or gripping an edge portion of an article to be moved. The luggage or large article support frame is pivotal to a position parallel to the load support plate and similarly perpendicular to the main support frame assembly for carrying articles of larger width than can be carried on the load support plate.
