designer's own words:

Hello. I describe the parts of the cart, shelter; The WHEEL, POLE and then the BASKET. Finally, it's USE and TRANSFORMATION.

WHEEL: The cart has one wheel. The wheel could be small, as illustrated in A or larger, air filled and have a wider, rounder base. This allows for greater balance and use on different surfaces; Paved streets, dirt, grass etc. The wheel may unscrew from the pole as part of a modular design; Easily cleaned, repaired and replaced.

POLE: The pole is attached to the wheel as illustrated in B. The pole can extend in length like the popular children's toy Star Wars light saber or unscrew longer. The end of the pole is spiked and capped as illustrated in B or a folded stand like a drum stand. Another possible embodiment is a handle at one end of the pole.

BASKET: The basket is made of cloth or sturdy plastic composite, possibly ribbed with a metal super structure to keep its shape. It's attached to the pole by snapped buttons, as illustrated in B, buckles or just ran through holes in the cloth. The basket includes a handle that doubles as the zipper. The basket could be zipped completely closed.

USE, TRANSFORMATION: The cart is maneuvered by the side or handle as illustrated in A and B. The cloth unfolds and pole extends to form the tent illustrated in C. The pole digs into the ground with the spike or uses a stand to keep the teepee upright. The basket could be pinned to the ground with spikes or weights. The teepee could also be used as a larger carrying bag, umbrella or a rain coat.
