Abstract:
A foldable carrying apparatus is provided that is capable of transporting stored items and is capable of being folded when not in use. A flexible, foldable container acts as a storage member. The foldable member includes a rigid bottom platform and a pair of spaced, flexible side panels affixed thereto. A pair of hinged wheels are secured to the rigid bottom platform of the storage member. In the folded position, the wheels are maintained in parallel, spaced relation to the platform. A pair of telescoping, foldable support shafts are secured to the bottom platform and adapted to be extended in spaced relation to one of the side panels of the storage container. A pair of receiving members are secured to the side panel of the storage container in opposition to the respective telescoping shafts. When the telescoping shafts are in their extended position, each will engage one of the respective receiving members maintaining the storage container in its open position. When the wheels, and telescoping shafts are pivoted adjacent the ridged platform, the storage container may be folded into a compact, closed position.
