Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS Not applicable REFERENCE REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT Not applicable SEQUENCE LISTING Not applicable BACKGROUND 1. Field of the Invention The present disclosure relates generally to a dolly for vinyl wrapping. 2. Description of the Background Vehicle vinyl wrap is the practice of completely or partially covering a vehicle's original paint with a vinyl wrap. There are various ways to cover the body of a vehicle with vinyl wrap. While some wrap installers have assistance in some fashion, some installers covering vehicles on their own without any additional mechanisms or assistive support to do so. The vinyl wrapping itself can be bulky and can come in a variety of sizes from 1 foot (ft.) by 5 ft. to 100 ft. by 5 ft. Because of the size of the vinyl wrap, applying a sheet of vinyl wrap to cover a vehicle can be challenging especially installing it alone. Improperly installing the vinyl wrap to a vehicle may result in tears in the vinyl, creasing, bubbling, and misalignment. SUMMARY A dolly for vinyl wrapping, as described herein, may have various configurations. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a vinyl wrap dolly includes a rod having a first and second end. A first endcap coupled to the first end of the rod. A second endcap coupled to the second end of the rod. A base plate coupled to the second end cap. The rod is configured to hold a tube of vinyl wrap. In another embodiment, the present disclosure provides a dolly for vinyl wrapping that includes a rod having a first and second end; a first end cap coupled to the first end of the rod; a second end cap coupled to the second end of the rod; and a base plate coupled to the second end cap. The rod is configured to hold a tube of vinyl wrap. The base plate includes at least one wheel. Other aspects of the systems and methods disclosed herein, including features and advantages thereof, will become apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the figures and detailed description herein. Therefore, all such aspects of the device are intended to be included in the detailed description and this summary.
