[Title <strong>of</strong> the Invention]<br />

Collapsible transporter and the main-pipe elevating tool<br />

[Claims]<br />

1. Collapsible heavy-duty transporter, comprising 4 extendable main-pipes (1, 2, 3 and 4), 2<br />

suspension-pipes (5 and 6), 2 side-pipes (7 and 8), 4 fittings (9) that maintain said<br />

main-pipes in a vertical position, suspension- and said side-pipes at a right angle within a<br />

horizontal space and rollers and bearings that can be affixed selectively on the lower part<br />

<strong>of</strong> the main-pipes. (See Figure 1)<br />

2. Main-pipe elevating tool <strong>for</strong> the heavy-duty transporter main-pipes described in Claim 1,<br />

comprising distance block (12) installable on the floor, a pair <strong>of</strong> base-support plates (15)<br />

equipped with shaft holders (14) connected to both ends <strong>of</strong> said block (12) detachably, a<br />

pair <strong>of</strong> couplers (1a, 2a) one end <strong>of</strong> which is affixed to the base-support by means <strong>of</strong> a<br />

hinge and the receptacle <strong>for</strong> the main-pipes at the top <strong>of</strong> the other end and a fastening tool<br />

each end <strong>of</strong> which can be attached to a pair <strong>of</strong> reclining main-pipes. The fastening tool is<br />

used to pull the reclining pipes so that they are upright. (See Figure 2)<br />

[Excerpt from Detail Description <strong>of</strong> the Invention and Drawings]<br />

This invention concerns the transporter that is disassembled into several units to facilitate<br />

its transportation and the main-pipe elevating tool. Conventional device <strong>of</strong> this type has casters<br />

and bearings at the lower part <strong>of</strong> the four legs, but because the heavy load is suspended within<br />

the structure, it tends to become large and is generally cumbersome to transport and could not<br />

be pushed through smaller entrances.<br />

[Explanation]<br />

The tool <strong>of</strong> the related invention (Claim 2) is used <strong>for</strong> assembling the transpoter by raising<br />

the main-pipes <strong>of</strong> the collapsible transporter <strong>of</strong> the specified invention (Claim 1), and the<br />

function <strong>of</strong> the transporter is maintained and extracted by externally acting on the collapsible<br />

transporter. Thus, the two inventions constitute the product and a product <strong>for</strong> handling the<br />

product.<br />
