Description

Design a trailer as telescopic cart, since as such can change size. You can make different sizes of trailers, from small to large. Concept is as in collapsible cup, several telescopic elements form a collapsible box. As in cup application, elastic deformation provides sealing against leakage, and also inner liner like garbage bags can be used to allow transport of a leaking material. When needed remove or replace liner, or wash and return - depending on liner. To prevent collapsing this design, also in order to associate to robot (cartoon type), foldable hands are used to lock telescopic elements in place. In a collapsed state trailer can be easy stored, small variants can be even transported on a bike back seat and larger variant can be pulled in a developed or a collapsible state. Top cover is easy to remove and can be used also upside-down minimizing the height of trailer in collapsible state. Collapsible state also features handle so it can be used as a basket (folding wheels inside action also locks a bottom element to the top telescopic element - since now stabilizing robotic hands are used as part of a handle). Bike connection also slides (saves space) and locks in a desired position. Different designs are possible using telescopic concept and further simplification to shown design can be made (fixed wheels, simpler telescopic boxes, less costly locking solution instead shown robotic hands solution, and to play with design concept in different ways using wood, plastic, metal, bio-composites).
