Abstract
An all-purpose garden cart with a removable container of rigid polyethylene which nests in a tubular aluminum carriage and is fastened securely therein by a unique locking device which allows the container to be quickly and easily snapped in or out of the carriage. The removable container permits quick and complete unloading either by tipping the cart forward and inverting the container or by lifting the container out of the carriage and dumping the contents directly into a truck bed or trash receptacle. The use of a polyethylene container fabricated without bolt holes or other openings and firmly supported by an independent cradle type carriage results in a light, sturdy, hard-surfaced, leak-proof and corrosion resistant garden cart container which has a number of unique and significant advantages. Large diameter, spoked wheels with broad rubber tires provide good trafficability and flotation.
