Description:DESCRIPTION:
Field of the invention:
[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the technical field of transportation and dispensing devices, in specific, relates to a trolley that regulates a tilting angle of a container, providing precise control over the dispensing of goods and fluids without manual effort, while enhancing safety and optimizing operational efficiency during transportation of the goods and fluids.
Background of the invention:
[0002] Fluid containers, particularly those used in industrial, commercial, or large-scale kitchen settings, are often heavy and require precise handling for accurate fluid dispensing. These containers store a variety of liquids, ranging from water and oils to chemicals and other viscous substances. Accurate fluid dispensing is essential in ensuring operational efficiency, reducing waste, and maintaining safety standards across a wide range of industries.

[0003] Traditionally, fluid dispensing involves manually tilting the container to pour the liquid into a receiving vessel. This process requires significant physical effort, particularly for larger or heavier containers. The lack of control over the tilting angle can lead to inaccurate measurements, fluid wastage, and potential safety hazards such as spills and splashes. Moreover, repetitive manual handling can result in physical strain and injuries to workers over time.

[0004] Several existing trolley systems have been developed to transport containers and assist with fluid dispensing. However, many of these systems still rely on manual tilting or lifting to control the flow of fluid. These manual processes are not only physically demanding but can also lead to inconsistent fluid dispensing, especially when dealing with containers of varying sizes and weights. This inefficiency is particularly problematic in industries where precise measurements are critical.

[0005] Current solutions also tend to be limited in terms of adjustability and flexibility, making them less suitable for operations that handle a wide range of container sizes or fluid types. The complexity and cost of existing systems further restrict their accessibility, especially for small to medium-sized businesses. The need for a more efficient, user-friendly solution that provides accurate fluid control and reduces physical effort is apparent.

[0006] By addressing all the above-mentioned problems, there is a need for a trolley that regulates a tilting angle of a container, providing precise control over the dispensing of goods and fluids without manual effort, while enhancing safety and optimizing operational efficiency during transportation of goods and fluids. There is also a need for a trolley that reduces the physical strain on users by automating the tilting process, making it accessible to individuals of varying physical strengths. There is also a need for a trolley that enhances safety during fluid dispensing by offering controlled, accurate dispensing, thereby minimizing the risk of spills and splashes.

[0007] By addressing all the above-mentioned problems, there is a need for a trolley that improves operational efficiency by enabling precise control over the quantity of fluid dispensed, thereby reducing wastage. There is also a need for a trolley that accommodates containers of various sizes, allowing for flexible use in different industrial, commercial, and large-scale kitchen settings. Further, there is also a need for a trolley that allows the user to accurately regulate the flow of fluid, ensuring precise measurements in a wide range of applications.

3. The trolley (100) for transportation of goods and fluids as claimed in claim 1, wherein the trolley (100) comprises a handle member (142), which is positioned on the each elongated shaft (102) to enable the user to move the trolley (100) in at least one direction and positioning the trolley (100) in the inclined position from the vertical position upon locking the tilting angle of the container (10) by the user,
wherein the handle member (142) of the each elongated shaft (102) is provided with a gripper (144) to provide a comfortable and secure grip for the user.
4. The trolley (100) for transportation of goods and fluids as claimed in claim 1, wherein the trolley (100) comprises plurality of horizontal cross members (116), which are coupled to the pair of elongated shafts (102),
wherein the plurality of horizontal cross members (116) is configured to provide rear support to the container (10) upon securing within the trolley (100).
5. The trolley (100) for transportation of goods and fluids as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fastening member (120) is provided with a hook (122) at either end,
wherein the fastening member (120) is adapted to be secured to a clamp (118) provided on each of the elongated shafts (102) using the hook (122), thereby securing the at least one container (10) during transportation, loading, and dispensing.
6. The trolley (100) for transportation of goods and fluids as claimed in claim 1, wherein the extensible wheel mount (140) is rotatably positioned within the pivoting link (138) of the tilt adjusting unit (124) to provide support to the trolley (100) in the inclined position while dispensing at least one of the goods and fluids from the container (10).
7. The trolley (100) for transportation of goods and fluids as claimed in claim 1, wherein the extensible wheel mount (140) of each elongated shaft (102) is extended by the user by moving the sliding member (126) along the each supporting shaft (104) relative to the fixed member (132) using the lever member (128).
8. The trolley (100) for transportation of goods and fluids as claimed in claim 1, wherein the extensible wheel mount (140) of each elongated shaft (102) is retracted by the user by moving the sliding member (126) along the each supporting shaft (104) relative to the fixed member (132) using the lever member (128).
9. The trolley (100) for transportation of goods and fluids as claimed in claim 1, wherein the trolley (100) is configured to secure various sizes of the containers (10) using the fastening member (120).
10. A method for operating a trolley (100), comprising:
securing, by a user, a container (10) within the trolley (100) using a fastening member (120) upon filing the container (10) with the fluids and goods, thereby moving the trolley (100) towards a collecting unit;
