Abstract

A handcart may include: a support frame; a container; a lock member configured to move between a locking position at which the lock member restricts rotation of the container relative to the support frame and an unlocked position at which the lock member allows the rotation of the container relative to the support frame; and a retainer member configured to move between a retaining position at which the retainer member restricts a movement of the lock member from the unlocked position to the locking position and a non-retaining position at which the retainer member allows the movement of the lock member from the unlocked position to the locking position. The lock member may be configured to move from the locking position to the unlocked position and be maintained in the unlocked position by a movement of the retainer member from the non-retaining position to the retaining position.

a biasing member configured to bias the lock member, wherein under a state where the lock member is at the unlocked position, the biasing member is configured to, via the lock member, bias the retainer member from the non-retaining position to the retaining position.

3. The handcart according to claim 1 , wherein

the lock member is disposed on the support frame, and
