【考案の属する技術分野】
本考案は、造園業，土木建設業，農林業，清掃業等において、広範囲にわたる相当量の刈り取り草，切枝，廃棄物等の重量物の運搬処理に用いる運搬用台車に関し、この運搬処理作業を効率良く行い作業者への負担を大幅に軽減し得る運搬用台車に係るものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
一般に造園業において、広場で刈り取った大量の草や，庭園の樹木管理の際に出る大量の切枝等植木屑の廃棄処理は、これらを地面に敷いたビニールシートの上に山のように積み上げ、これを作業者が人力で引きずりながらトラック等の運搬車両まで運搬して行っており、重労働で運搬処理の作業効率が悪く，作業者に多大な肉体的負担をかけていた。 土木建設業や農林業や清掃業等の各種の作業現場から出る木屑や石屑やゴミ等の廃棄物の運搬処理においても同様で、これら廃棄物等の重量物を作業者が纏めて手軽に効率良く運搬処理できる適切な運搬用台車が無かった。 荷物を人手により運搬する台車としては、荷車やリヤカーがあるが、これらは荷台に一対の車輪を取り付けた二輪車であるため、重量物の運搬には相当な力を要し作業者に多大な負担が掛かり安定性にも欠ける。 平板状の台板に４個の小ローラーを配した台車もあるが、これは小型であるため大量の重量物の運搬には適せず、やはり作業効率が悪い。
またこれらの荷車やリヤカーや小型の台車は、荷台が平板状で箱状の収納枠構造でないため運搬処理中に荷崩れや荷こぼれのおそれがあり、大量の草や切枝等の植木屑その他の廃棄物等重量物の運搬処理には適しない。
【０００３】
【考案が解決しようとする課題】
本考案は斯かる従来の種々の廃棄物等重量物の運搬処理に伴う種々の難点を解消するために案出されたもので、造園業，土木建設業，農林業，清掃業等において、広範囲にわたる相当量の刈り取り草，切枝，種々の廃棄物等重量物の運搬処理を効率良く行い作業者への肉体的負担を大幅に軽減し、小型に折りたたみ可能で持ち運び移動や保管に場所をとらず使用上好適である言わば従来技術の諸難点を解消するお助けマンとしての機能に富む運搬用台車を提供することを目的とする。
【０００４】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記の目的を達成するために本考案は、相当量の刈り取り草，切枝，種々の廃棄物等重量物を積載収納する箱状の収納枠を有し、この収納枠に前後左右４個の移動車輪を取り付けるとともに、箱状収納枠を一方方向に折りたたみ可能となして運搬用台車を形成したことを特徴とするものである。
【０００５】
箱状収納枠を一方方向に折りたたみ可能とする手段として、底面枠板を長手方向に沿って二分割してこの分割片相互をヒンジ等にて折りたたみ自在に接続し、底面枠板の各分割片と各側面枠板とをヒンジ等にて折りたたみ自在に接続するとともに、両側面枠板間の前面部と後面部とに案内金具を介して前面枠板と後面枠板を出入自在に嵌合せしめて行う。
【０００６】
或いは、底面枠板を長手方向に沿って二分割してこの分割片相互をヒンジ等にて折りたたみ自在に接続し、底面枠板の各分割片と各側面枠板とをヒンジ等にて折りたたみ自在に接続するとともに、前面枠板と後面枠板を幅方向に沿って二分割し，各分割片を各側面枠板にヒンジ等にて折りたたみ自在に接続して行う。
【０００７】
