A hand truck with a load carrying nose plate usable as a two-wheeled product transporter, and alternatively as a carrier for a fabric receptacle has a two-wheel supported frame assembly mounting a nose plate to project generally perpendicularly. A support assembly connected to the base end of the main frame assembly provides an extension projecting parallelly outwardly beyond the nose plate. A generally rigid receptacle suspension frame system from which the fabric receptacle depends has a device thereon for demountably supporting the outer end of the suspension frame system and a support part on the main frame assembly demountably interfits with and carries the opposite inner end of the suspension frame system. The hand truck in several versions is a convertible hand truck usable in four-wheeled as well as two-wheeled configuration.

[ I claim:] [1.] In a convertible hand truck with a load carrying nose plate usable as a two wheeled product transporter and alternatively as a converted carrier with additional secondary wheel support, the hand truck having an elongate main frame assembly with a head end and a base end incorporating a nose plate projecting generally perpendicularly from said base end; an axle assembly with a pair of wheels thereon joined to said base end of said main frame assembly; handle surface for the head end of the main frame assembly, and an elongate subframe having a head end and base end; a coupling assembly mounting the subframe on said main frame assembly to permit said main frame assembly to be shifted from a generally vertical disposition generally paralleling said subframe when the said main frame assembly is in two-wheeled cart configuration to a generally horizontal position generally perpendicular to the subframe, and a secondary wheel system supporting the hand truck when it assumes the generally horizontal position, the improvement comprising:a. a support assembly supported by said base end of the main frame assembly providing an extension projecting outwardly generally perpendicularly to said elongate main frame assembly and having an outer end extending beyond said nose plate;b. a receptacle suspension frame system having outer and inner ends and including a depending fabric receptacle; the said support assembly having a device thereon adjacent an outer end thereof demountably supporting an outer end of said suspension frame system; andc. said subframe including a suspension part carrying said inner end of said suspension frame system.
