The granted patent (Publication Number: US11958522B2) discloses a nestable cart designed with unique features for efficient storage and transportation. The cart includes an upright frame, a tray that can pivot between a utility position and a nested position, and a slope plate directly mounted to the tray's side. When nested with another cart, a consistent gap is maintained between the carts, allowing for compact storage.
Additionally, the nestable cart may feature a bottom frame supporting a second tray, with both trays capable of pivoting between utility and nested positions. The design also includes swivel casters for 360-degree directional motion, front casters set back from a crossbar on the bottom frame, and an upper basket with a cup holder and storage divider. The tray is constructed with a grid steel wire pattern and a perimeter wire of about 5/16 inch in diameter. The cart's tapered front forms an angle of about 35 degrees, with tie bars extending from the upright frame and an upper angle support engaging with the tray's bottom surface for stability. Overall, the patent highlights a versatile and space-saving nestable cart design suitable for various applications.
