Abstract

A luggage hand cart has a luggage supporting platform supported on wheels, with a pair of uprights extending upwardly from the platform at each end. The upper ends of the uprights are compoundly angled to extend inwardly relative to both the ends and sides of the platform and a pair of opposed, molded, generally Y-shaped plastic fittings, each having a base with a pair of projecting leg parts extending at a compound angle from the base outwardly relative to the sides and ends of the platform and downwardly, telescopically receive the upper ends of the uprights. The fittings each have internal wall structure and the longitudinally extending hanger rod then has its ends telescopically secured in the base portions of the fittings in abutting relation with internal wall structure head parts, while the upper ends of the uprights are secured in abutting relation with internal wall structure in the leg parts of the fittings.
