A device comprising an elastically deformable body (1) having an opening (2) that defines two pliable portions (3; 4) consisting of a central portion (3) and a surrounding portion (4) that are capable of being folded relative to each other to form a supporting means that is adaptable to various structures such as baby strollers, cargo carts, golf club-bag carrying carts, and the like. Since the body (1) of the device is elastically deformable, the central portion (3) and the surrounding portion (4) can be bent to such an extent that the body may (1) reach a great variety of desired shapes for acting as truly foldable carrier devices.

The device according to claim 1, wherein the device is made of rubber. 7. The device according to claim 6, wherein said rubber is a styrene-butadiene-type rubber. 8. The device according to claim 1, wherein the device is built from a material selected from the group consisting of fiberglass, polyester resin, carbon fiber, and epoxy. 9. The device according to claim 1, wherein the device is made of a metal. 10. The device according to claim 9, wherein said metal is selected from the group consisting of aluminium, phosphorous bronze, titanium, and steel. 11. The device of claim 1, wherein the device is built with a multilayer combination of a plastic material and metal. 12. The device of claim 11, wherein said multilayer combination is formed by two metal layers and a plastic layer between the two metal layers. 13. The device of claim 11, wherein said multilayer combination is formed by two plastic layers and a metal layer between the two plastic layers. 14. The device of claim 11, wherein the metal is aluminium. 15. The device of claim 11, wherein the plastic material is a polycarbonate or a polymer selected from the group consisting of LEXAN, DELRIN, Acetal, type-1 PVC, and polyester. 16. The device of claim 1, wherein the device is built with a multilayer combination of wood and metal. 17. The device of claim 16, wherein the metal is aluminium. 18. The device according to claim 1, wherein said anchoring means comprises holes and said tensile means comprises filiform elements. 19. The device according to claim 1, wherein the device has at least one front end and at least one back end that can support the weight of the device and its cargo when in use. 20. The device according to claim 1, wherein each of said ends have wheels mounted thereon. 21. The device according to claim 1, comprising a transport means selected from the group consisting of a seat cart, a golf-club bag cart, a musical instrument stand cart, and a drawing board stand cart. 22. The device according to claim 1, comprising attachment elements selected from the group consisting of screws, nuts, bolts, rapid engagement connectors, snap-on engagement devices, box and pin-type connectors, and VELCRO-like elements.
