CURBSIDE VOTING CART
A curbside voter cart for transporting a voting terminal to a parked motorist, comprising a pair of opposing side-rails defined by contiguous tubing, a horizontal long-axle strut spanning the side-rails, a pair of wheels mounted on an axle supported in the long-axle strut, a forwardly-disposed stabilizer spanning the side-rails beneath the axle strut and projecting forward to a horizontal short-axle strut, and a pair of castors mounted on each side of the short-axle strut. In addition, a terminal support platform is adjustably mounted on the side-rails above the wheels and is repositionable anywhere along an upper extent of said side rails for adjustably positioning the voting terminal relative to a voter seated in a car.
1 . A curbside voter cart, comprising:
a main frame comprising a pair of parallel side rails joined at a first end by a transverse handle;
a first axle strut spanning said pair of side rails proximate a second end;
a pair of wheels mounted on opposing ends of said first axle strut;
a lower stabilizer comprising a pair of side rails each attached at one end to a respective main frame side rail below said first axle strut and joined at another end by a second axle strut that is shorter than said first axle strut, and said lower stabilizer side rails converging toward said second axle strut;
a pair of castors mounted proximate opposing ends of said second axle strut;
an upper mounting platform comprising a pair of side rails each attached at one end to a respective main frame side rail above said first axle strut and joined at another end by a protection strut that is shorter than said first axle strut, and said upper mounting platform side rails converging toward said protection strut;
a transverse strut attached across the side rails of said upper mounting platform; and
an upright support attached to said transverse strut and configured to support a voting terminal thereon in an upright position.
2 . The curbside voter cart of claim 1 , wherein said upper mounting platform support and said lower stabilizer are similarly-shaped.
3 . The curbside voter cart of claim 1 , wherein said upper mounting platform side rails are attached perpendicularly to said main frame side rails.
4 . The curbside voter cart of claim 3 , wherein said upper mounting platform side rails are parallel along a portion of their length.
5 . The curbside voter cart of claim 4 , wherein said upper mounting platform side rails are obtusely-angled along their length to converge toward said second axle strut.
6 . The curbside voter cart of claim 1 , wherein said lower stabilizer side rails are attached perpendicularly to said main frame side rails.
7 . The curbside voter cart of claim 6 , wherein said lower stabilizer side rails are parallel along a portion of their length.
8 . The curbside voter cart of claim 7 , wherein said lower stabilizer side rails are obtusely-angled along their length to converge toward said second axle strut.
9 . The curbside voter cart of claim 2 , wherein said upper mounting platform side rails are removably attached to the respective main frame side rails.
10 . The curbside voter cart of claim 9 , wherein said upper mounting platform is adjustably attached to the respective main frame side rails for height-adjustment there along.
11 . The curbside voter cart of claim 2 , wherein said lower stabilizer side rails are removably attached to the respective main frame side rails.
12 . The curbside voter cart of claim 11 , wherein said lower stabilizer platform is adjustably attached to the respective main frame side rails for height-adjustment there along.
13 . The curbside voter cart of claim 1 , wherein said main frame is formed in an inverted U-shape.
14 . The curbside voter cart of claim 1 , wherein said main frame is formed of contiguous tubing.
15 . The curbside voter cart of claim 14 , wherein said lower stabilizer is formed of contiguous tubing.
16 . The curbside voter cart of claim 1 , wherein said upper mounting platform is formed of contiguous tubing.
17 . A nestable curbside voter cart for transporting a voting terminal to a parked motorist, comprising:
a pair of opposing side-rails and a handle joined in a contiguous inverted U-shape;
a horizontal long-axle strut spanning said pair of opposing side-rails;
a pair of wheels mounted on an axle supported in said long-axle strut;
a forwardly-disposed stabilizer spanning the side-rails beneath the axle strut and projecting forward to a horizontal short-axle strut;
a pair of castors mounted on each side of the short-axle strut; and
a terminal support platform including a contiguous support strut formed in a U-shape and adjustably attached endwise to said side-rails above the wheels, the terminal support platform being repositionable anywhere along an upper extent of said side rails for adjustably positioning the voting terminal relative to a voter seated in a car.
18 . The curbside voter cart of claim 17 , wherein said upper mounting platform support and said lower stabilizer are identically-shaped.
19 . The curbside voter cart of claim 18 , wherein said upper mounting platform support and said lower stabilizer are shaped to limit nesting insertion.
20 . The curbside voter cart of claim 17 , wherein said upper mounting platform side rails are removably attached perpendicularly to said main frame side rails, are parallel along a portion of their length, and are obtusely-angled along their length, and said lower stabilizer side rails are removably attached perpendicularly to said main frame side rails, are parallel along a portion of their length, and are obtusely-angled along their length.
21 . The curbside voter cart of claim 20 , wherein said upper mounting platform is adjustably attached to the respective main frame side rails for height-adjustment there along.
22 . The curbside voter cart of claim 20 , wherein said lower stabilizer platform is adjustably attached to the respective main frame side rails for height-adjustment there along.
