Abstract

A transport device has a transport container which is movable over the ground and on which a push-or-pull bar and wheels can be fastened, the transport contained having, in operating condition, two bottom surfaces which are inclined at an angle to each other and extend transversely to a vertical longitudinal central plane lying in the direction of movement and are connected to each other at their lower end by a connecting surface, the transport container being formed by two substantially identical half shells. The half-shells (1, 2) are pivotally connected to each other in the region of the connecting surface (1b, 2b) via a shaft (10a) which extends perpendicular to the longitudinal center plane and they are movable between a position swung against each other and the swung-apart operating position. In the operating position, the half-shells form a hollow space which is open on top and into which a valise-like container (50) having an outer shape adapted to the shape of the hollow space can be inserted
