Filed:

Jun 16, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/595324

Inventors:

Kambiz Katoozian - Kirkland WA

Assignee:

K M Engineering - Kirkland WA

International Classification:

B62D 3900

US Classification:

280 33993, 280 33991, 280 33996

Abstract:

A stackable, vehicle-shaped, pushcart designed for transporting small children and cargo that can be stacked with a plurality of other pushcarts in a small confined space. The pushcart includes a lightweight frame assembly, an upward extending handle assembly, and a pivoting vehicle-shaped body. The vehicle-shaped body is disposed horizontally over the frame assembly and pivots upward on its rear section around a support member. The frame assembly is designed to be horizontally stacked with longitudinally aligned adjacent pushcarts when the body is disposed vertically. The frame assembly includes two front caster wheels and two rear large diameter wheels. The vehicle-shaped body includes a fully extending floor and has a unique outer shape thereby enabling the body to be vertically aligned so that the pushcart can be slid together and horizontally stacked in a compact manner with other similar pushcarts.

International Classification:

G07F 17/00
B62B 3/02
G07F 11/00

Abstract:

A dual directional gate that allows an object to move freely in one direction over the gate, but limits the removable of one object over the gate in the opposite direction. The gate assembly includes a blocking arm, a cam element and a protruding arm mounted on a rotating driver shaft. The gate assembly also includes a drive shaft parallel to said driver shaft. Mounted on the drive shaft is a latch mounted on the drive shaft with a proximal end that presses against the cam element and prevents rotation of the blocking arm towards the latch. Also mounted on the drive shaft is a biased follower rod with a distal end that contacts the protruding arm when rotated towards the drive shaft. The gate also includes a pivotally mounted sub-assembly coupled to a solenoid. When the solenoid is activated, the sub-assembly rotates which allows the latch to rotate and unblock the blocking arm and allow an object to forcibly move the blocking arm. Movement of the blocking arm causes the gate toy reset.

Abstract:

A pushcart vending system that includes a plurality of pushcarts, a vending unit, a track and a gate assembly attached to the track and coupled to the vending unit. Each pushcart includes a lightweight body attached to rigid frame mounted on wheels. The body is configured to pivot vertically over the frame assembly thereby enabling rigid frames on adjacent pushcarts to be stacked. Attached to each frame assembly is a catch bar assembly that includes a wear plate that extends into an offset, longitudinally aligned slot formed on the track. Attached to the wear plate is an upper roller and a lower roller that travel over the outside surface and the inside surface, respectively, on the track. A gate assembly is dual directional to allow pushcarts to be individually dispensed and returned from the same end of the track thereby enabling the system to be setup in small staging areas.
