A multipurpose materiel handling cart is disclosed for transporting food and other personal items from store to home, laundry, medium sized shelf items in stock rooms, and other portable objects used in a wide variety of residential and commercial environments. More specifically, the multimode cart for transporting items across a surface is described, which includes a substantially rigid and generally planar frame that is formed with a handle and oppositely disposed main wheels. The cart also incorporates a generally planar base assembly that is connected to the frame by an articulation assembly. The articulation assembly moves between a nested position, that is substantially coplanar with the frame, and an extended position that is generally orthogonal with the frame. The base assembly further includes an interconnection assembly that is disposed about the base assembly, and auxiliary wheels adapted to cooperate with the main wheels when the cart is in the extended position. Lastly, the cart includes a material handling adapter that is releasably attached by the interconnection assembly to the cart. The material handling adapter can preferably be any of a variety of interchangeable devices and adapters including, for example, a collapsible carrier basket, a rigid basket, a handtruck adapter, a flat bed carrier, a nursery tray, a pallet, an assembly jig, a dunnage rack, an engine stand, a postal tray, an office mail tray, a veterinary gurney, a medical device carrier, a phlebotomy sample tray, and a dumbwaiter. A detachable nose rail and a braking system are also described.

1. A multimode cart for transporting items across a surface, comprising:a substantially rigid and generally planar frame formed with a handle and oppositely disposed main wheels and a pivot cage therebetween; a brake assembly attached to the frame proximate to at least one of the wheels and operative to releasbly engage at least one of the wheels to prevent rotation; a generally planar base assembly connected to the frame with a sliding pivot received in the pivot cage, an articulating scissor bar, and end slide couplings at the upper end of the scissor bar, the base assembly adapted to move thereby between a nested position substantially coplanar with the frame and an extended position generally orthogonal with the frame, the base assembly including an interconnection assembly disposed about the base assembly and at one end auxiliary wheels adapted to cooperate with the main wheels; a capture device slidably carried by the base assembly and adapted latch to the frame when in the nested position; and a material handling adapter releasably attached to the cart by the interconnect assembly.
