| 1993 | Invention patented by Gary Graham on June 13th, 1993. Abstract: An article carrying device comprising a hand cart and a beach chair. The article carrying device or beach caddy is comprised of a hand cart having a substantially triangular body wherein the point of the triangle has a handle and is the upper portion and the horizontal portion of the triangle is a base plate and forms the lower portion of the cart. A cylindrical rod is integrally attached to the base plate and passes through the hollow center of the same. The cylindrically shaped rod acts as an axle whereupon wide based wheels are attached to each end. The base plate has an L-shaped seat extending from its lowest edge which is adapted to engage a leg of a beach chair. Any beach chair having a substantially closed headrest support and legs can be used wherein the support is placed over the upper portion of the triangular body member and a leg is placed into the seat. Accordingly, the beach chair is securely attached to the triangularly shaped member. With the beach chair attached, articles to be carried to and from the beach can be placed upon the chair. When the beach chair is sufficiently full, bungee cords or the like can be used to secure the articles to the chair and the beach caddy can be pushed or pulled to its destination. |
