Title: Folding cart

Abstract: A folding cart comprising a fabric body and a collapsible tubular frame comprises tubular members extending longitudinally underneath the bottom of the fabric body for supporting the load and preventing the formation of pockets which impede unloading. Wheels are located behind and underneath the body, and are prevented from coming into contact with the body by protective fenders which also serve as collapsible braces for locking the frame elements in the open condition. The front edge of the bottom of the body is protected by a clamping member. The tubular members underneath the body are arranged substantially in an inclined plane in order to insure that the front edge of the body is able to come into contact with the ground despite irregularities therein.
