Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus to facilitate the upending of a wheelbarrow into a bin.
  • an apparatus to facilitate the upending of a wheelbarrow into a bin including a first portion attached to a bin, a second portion fixed to the front of a wheelbarrow, wherein in use the first portion and second portion can engage so as to create a pivotal connection that permits the wheelbarrow to be rotated in a forward direction about the pivotal connection point so as to facilitate the upending of the wheelbarrow.
  • the invention may be said to lie in a method of using an apparatus that will facilitate the upending of a wheelbarrow into a bin, including the steps of fixing a bracket of the apparatus to the bin, fixing the frame of the apparatus to the wheelbarrow, inter-engaging the bracket and frame so as to create a pivotal connection between them, and then rotating the wheelbarrow forward about the pivotal connection point so as to upend of the wheelbarrow.
  • the bracket can be removably attached to the bin.
  • the frame can be removably attached to the front of the wheelbarrow.
  • the bracket is adapted to hang from the uppermost edge of a side of the bin.
  • the bracket includes at least one upwardly turned hook, which is adapted to accept the frame.
  • the frame includes at least one steel rod that is adapted to pivotally engage in the upwardly turned hook on the bracket.
  • the steel rod is connected to the wheelbarrow via a retractable frame.
  • the means to raise the wheelbarrow include a ramp on a stabilizing leg between the ground and a side of the bin or other receptacle, whereby the wheelbarrow can be wheeled up the ramp.
  • Figure 1 is a side view of a bin with a bracket of the apparatus attached, and a wheelbarrow with a frame of the apparatus attached;
  • Figure 2 is a side view of the bracket and frame of the apparatus in Figure 1 , showing them pivotally attached;
  • Figure 3 is a side view of the wheelbarrow being upended into a bin
  • Figure 4 is a side view of the wheelbarrow in Figure 1 showing the frame of the apparatus in the retracted position;
  • Figure 5 shows the stabilizer leg and ramp to assist in raising the barrow
  • Figure 6 shows the leg and ramp in a folded position
  • Figure 7 shows the stabilizer leg and ramp in use.
  • FIG. 1 there is an industrial bin 1 , with a sidewall 2, and a lip 3 around the upper edge of the sidewall. Hanging from this lip 3 is a bracket 4 of the apparatus. This bracket has a pair of downwardly facing hooks 6 at a first end that engage the lip 3 of the bin.
  • bracket At a second end of the bracket there is a pair of upwardly facing hooks 8, which are adapted to accept the frame 10 of the apparatus. This second end of the bracket 4 angles back toward the side 2 of the bin so as to rest against the side of the bin.
  • the frame 10 of the apparatus is attached to the front of a wheelbarrow 12 via a frame 14 that is securely, but removably attached to the frame 16 of the wheelbarrow at point A, and to the bucket 18 of the wheelbarrow 12 at point B.
  • Attached to this frame 14 is a pair of retractable arms 20, and at the end of each of these arms there is a steel rod 22 that interconnects the arms.
  • This rod is adapted to nest in the upwardly facing hooks 8 on the bracket 4 of the apparatus, thereby creating a pivotal connection between the bin 1 and the wheelbarrow 12 that allows the wheelbarrow to be upended into the bin in what is essentially the conventional fashion.
  • the retractable arms 20 are L-shaped; at a first end these arms connect to the frame 14 proximate to the end of the frame that connects to the bucket 18 of the wheelbarrow 12.
  • At a second end the bracing elements bolt C to the frame members 14 so as to support the retractable arms 20 in an extended position.
  • the retractable arms 20 can be retracted such that the steel rod 22 and the arms are withdrawn into the region between the bucket 18 of the wheelbarrow and its frame 16. This is done by undoing the bolts C, at the second end of the bracing elements. This feature protects the frame from damage when it is not in use. Furthermore, a high degree of adjustability can be built into this frame of the apparatus by providing a plurality of alternate hole positions in both the frame elements 14, and the bracing elements 24.
  • bracket 4 of the apparatus can be adapted to a variety of wheelbarrows and bins alike.
  • the apparatus includes a stabilizer leg 26 with a foot 28 to rest on the ground and a cross piece 30 to engage the side of the bin underneath the hooks 8.
  • a ramp 32 as attached to the stabilizing leg 26 by pivots 34 to a U-shaped bracket 46 on the stabilizing leg 26.
  • the stabilizing leg is adjustable in length being telescopic with locking screws 38 to lock the stabilizing leg at the required length depending upon the height of the bin or other receptacle.
  • the ramp is pivoted to the bracket 36 so that as the angle of the stabilizing leg changes for various heights of bins the ramp angle also changes. As shown in Figure 7 the wheelbarrow is wheeled up the ramp so that on slight tipping of the wheel barrow the rod is engaged in the hooks and further tipping will empty the barrow into the bin.
  • the invention is not to be limited thereto.
  • the invention can also be applied to the depositing of the contents of the wheelbarrow into other receptacles or even onto the tray of a motor vehicle such as a utility, flat top tray truck or the like.
  • the hooks 6 of the bracket 4 are thus suitably modified to suit the particular use.
  • the ramp can be folded onto stabilizing leg when not required for storage purposes.
  • this invention will be of particular advantage to those who wish to transfer material from a wheelbarrow to an industrial style bin or other carriers for the disposal of the contents of the wheelbarrow.
