DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(1) The stage cart of the present embodiment has wheels 1
2 and a gate-shaped handle 18 which is used when the product table 16 is pushed by hand and is stored below the product table 16 when not in use.

Here, the commodity table 16 is a plane rectangle in the illustrated example, but may be a plane triangle, polygon, circle, ellipse, or an irregular shape in which a part thereof is cut away.

The number of the wheels 12 is four.
, Or even five or more. A detent 20 is attached to at least a pair of wheels 12 (normal rear wheels). In the example of the drawing, reference numeral 10 denotes a product table 16.
It is a top plate.

(2) In the above configuration, in the present embodiment, a held portion 22a is formed at the tip of the upright portion 22 of the handle 18 in parallel with the upright portion main portion 22c via an inclined portion 22b. Here, the parallel distance between the held portion 22a and the upright portion main portion 22c is determined by a handle holding tube portion (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as a “holding tube portion”) 28 described later.
When the handle 18 is fitted, the upright portion main portion 22c comes into contact with the peripheral wall surface 14 of the product placing table 16.
Is more stably held, and application to a large stage cart is facilitated. The inclination angle α of the inclined portion 22b is desirably 10 to 60 ° with respect to the axis of the upright portion main portion 22c.
If the inclination angle α is too small, it is necessary to increase the height of the peripheral wall of the product table 16, and if the inclination angle α is too large, it is difficult to smoothly store and remove the handle 18 below the product table 16. . The upright base 2 of the handle 16
2d is desirably slightly inclined (for example, 20 °) outward and connected to the horizontal steering unit 28 so that the horizontal steering unit 26 can be easily gripped and operated.

A handle insertion hole 24 large enough to allow a gate-shaped handle 18 lying substantially horizontally to pass through at least one surface (rear side wall in the illustrated example) 14a of the commodity placing table peripheral wall 14.
The handle insertion hole 24 has longitudinal guide slits 24a at both ends. The vertical guide slit plays a role of obliquely inserting the tip end held portion 22 a of the upright portion 22 of the handle 18 and fitting it into the holding tube portion 28. A notch 24b is formed on the upper side of the center position of the handle insertion hole 24 so that the horizontal steering portion 26 of the handle 18 can be easily grasped and removed by hand.

Further, a holding cylinder portion 28 having an upper end 28a with a slanted opening at the outside is provided at a position corresponding to the vertical guide slit 24a inside the peripheral wall 14 of the commodity table.
The angle of the bevel of the holding cylinder 28 is generally 30 to 60 °, preferably about 45 ° with respect to the horizontal plane, in order to guide the handle when inserted obliquely. In the illustrated example, the holding cylinder 28 is formed by cutting a pipe, but may be made of a casting.

(3) In the present embodiment, the holding cylinder 2 of the product table 16 is adapted to be compatible with a large stage cart.
The peripheral wall surface 14 in contact with the upright main portion 22 c continuous with the rear side and the inclined portion 8 is reinforced by the reinforcing member 30. That is, the upper and lower edges of the wall surface of the product table 16 where the handle insertion holes 24 are formed are formed by the square pipes 30 and reinforced. The square pipe 30 is reinforced by a fulcrum of the rotational moment generated by a force acting on the horizontal steering portion of the steering wheel (the holding cylinder portion 28 and / or the abutment portion 14a of the commodity table peripheral wall). Here, both the holding tube portion 28 and the product placing stand peripheral handle contact portion 14a are reinforced, but only one of them may be reinforced. The reinforcing member may be a round pipe, or may be reinforced with a rib or the like.

(4) Further, in the present embodiment, the product table 1
In the middle part of the handle insertion hole 24 inside the wall surface in 6,
A channel-shaped receiving hook portion 32 for receiving the horizontal steering portion 26 of the handle is formed, and a handle receiving bar 34 is stretched at an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the product table 16. With this configuration, the handle 18 is stored with the upright portion 22 inclined downward toward the back (front), so that the handle 18 can be smoothly stored and taken out of the product table 16.
