Abstract:

A cart for supportably transporting a plurality of bags by the handles of the bags when the bags have one or more items therein. The cart allows the user to easily transport full bags and, relative to standard carts, reduces the likelihood that the bags will spill. The cart has a collapsible frame assembly with a first frame member and a second frame member, a bag support assembly for receiving and retaining the bags, a handle for pushing the cart and a pair of wheel assemblies to allow the cart to move across a surface. The frame assembly is in a generally X-shaped configuration with one of the frame members configured to shorten or lengthen to place the cart in an upright position or a collapsed position. A pull pin is used to automatically fix the position of the cart and allow the user to raise or collapse the cart.
