Furthermore, the sidewall latch end 132 and the endwall latch end 134 can include lateral retainers 140 and 142, respectively.

32). It’s 37-inches long, 25-inches wide, and 23-inches tall and weighs 32.5 pounds. It’s a smart move.

FIG. 9 with its right sidewall folded down during a further step of the collapsing method. The latch system 54 is innovative in that it provides for quickly and easily releasing the peripheral walls 14/16 for folding to the storage position and it provides for robustness and minimized loose play when the peripheral walls are secured in the use position. In the locked position, with the peripheral walls 14/16 in their unfolded use position, the tips 110 of the plungers 108 are extended from their endwalls 16 and received in their respective receivers 106 in a blocking-type retention fit. 11 shows the collapsible wagon of FIG. Then the other released sidewalls 14 is pivoted, about its pivotal coupling 50, downward and inward to its storage position adjacent the base 12, as shown in FIG.

A collapsible wagon for cargo, comprising: at least one wall that is pivotally mounted to the base and that pivots relative to the base between a folded position for storage and an unfolded position for use, wherein in the unfolded position the wall extends generally upward from the base to help hold the cargo; and. Kentucky. 43 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of a latch system of the collapsible wagon of FIG.

Not quite sure how that happened, probably poot handling.

Having kids forces you to adapt. In the depicted embodiment, the actuator springs 122 are each provided by a compression coil spring retained between a bearing surface 128 of the actuator body 118 and a bearing surface 130 of the actuator housing 124. Overall, it is a great product. Consider the Veer Cruiser the buff child of a stroller and a utility wagon. And in other embodiments, the minimized-play design is included with a different latch design. 26 is a cross-sectional view of the pinchless stop of FIG. Similarly, in the depicted embodiment the rotary housing 72 and the rotary stop member 74 of the pivot 62 are provided as two parts that are assembled together so that they do not pivot relative to each other. On Veer wagon there’s one handlebar that telescopes to adjust to parent height (even for short person like 5’5” and tall person like 6’3”) and allow for comfortable pushing. 1, showing covers of its peripheral walls and including minor design variations.

35. 7 is a top view of the collapsible wagon of FIG. This is certainly not the case, however, with the Veer Cruiser, which is why it’s one of our favorite pieces of parenting gear. Finally, all parents did mention cost: while the Veer costs $599, add-ons cost more. Then the sidewall 14 is lifted and thereby pivoted toward its use position (see FIG. The lateral retainers 140 and 142 hold the sidewall 14 and the endwall 16 from lateral outward displacement from their use positions (the latch system 54 holds them from pivoting beyond their use positions). FIG. In other embodiments, the wagon is provided without the seats, or the seats are removable.

And in some embodiments, the wagon includes a latch system that eliminates slack or play when in the unfolded use position for structural integrity. 1 is a perspective view of a collapsible wagon according to a first example embodiment of the present invention, shown with its peripheral sidewalls and endwalls as well as its pull handle in an unfolded position for use. In other embodiments, the peripheral sidewalls and/or the endwalls include the frames but not the covers, they include rigid wall panels without structural frame members, or they are provided by other conventional peripheral structural wall elements. 19 shows the pinchless stop of FIG.

at least one pivotal coupling that pivotally mounts the wall to the base, wherein the pivotal coupling includes a base pivot or anchor extending from the base, a wall pivot fixedly extending from the wall and pivotally coupled to the base pivot so that the wall pivot moves with the pivotal wall relative to the base, and a housing, wherein the base pivot includes either at least one stop surface or at least one stop member internally contained within the anchor housing, wherein the wall pivot includes the other of the at least one stop surface or the at least one stop member internally contained within the pivotal housing, wherein the stop member pivots relative to the stop surface through an angular motion limited by contact with the stop surface to define the unfolded use position of the wall, and wherein with the stop surface and the stop member internally contained within the housing there is no exposed gap between the stop surface and the stop member that gets closed in a pinching manner when folding or unfolding the wall.

31 shows the endwall 16 further pivoting (as indicated by the corresponding directional arrow) to where it comes into contact with the sidewall 14 (in its neutral interfering position), causing the cam-like ramps 136 of the two walls to ride along each other, which in turn pushes outward on and thereby causes the sidewall to displace outward (as indicated by the corresponding directional arrow) for clearance.

The holders can clip onto the bucket-style wagon or handle; the tray extends across the wagon.

The sidewalls 14 and the endwalls 16 extend upward (including bowed outward and not necessarily vertical) from the base 12 to cooperatively form an open-topped container for the cargo. By the way, I got the cover for the flight, even with it, a little piece from the handlebar got damaged. Close . It’s rare that one piece of gear can be everything a parent needs so, many brands think, why not build create modular gear that parents can customize for their specific lifestyle?

Veer Gear Wagon – A Quick Overview. FIG. Generally described, the present invention relates to collapsible wagons that are repositionable between a folded storage position and an unfolded use position.

40). In this way, even the small fingers of children do not get caught between pivoting parts and pinched, resulting in a design that is safer for children as well as adults.

FIG. And in the unlocked position, the plunger tips 110 are retracted relative to their endwall 16 and thereby retracted from their respective receivers 108 to release the peripheral walls 14/16 to fold to their storage position. and a snack and drink tray. To return the endwall 1016 to its use position, the process is reversed, with the endwall pulled so the catch 1108 can pivotally clear the retainer 1106 to get the endwall to the use position, then the endwall is released to drop it downward and latch it in place relative to the sidewall 1014.

FIG. Because the stop surfaces 68 and 70 and the stop members 74 are all contained within their respective housings 66 and 72 (both axially and transversely), there are no exposed gaps between them that get closed in a pinching manner when folding and unfolding the wagon 10. In other embodiments, the stop member 138 can be in the form of a laterally extending pin or other protrusion. To effect this, an axle 96 can be provided extending between and mounted to the anchor 60 and the pivot 62 so as to not unduly restrict rotational movement between the parts.

8-12. 40 shows the latch system portion of FIG.
