Claim 30:
31. A pivot bracket for a wheelbarrow having two handles with corresponding forward end sections, a wheel rotatable around a rotational axis, and a cargo carrying bin, the pivot bracket comprising:
spaced first and second support legs, each of the first and second support legs having a forward end portion and a back end portion, wherein the back end portions of the first and second support legs are designed and configured to be attached to the forward end sections of the handles;
the pivot bracket further including a bight, wherein at least a portion of the bight is located between the forward end portions of the first and second support legs;
wherein the bight is designed and configured to be located forward and above the rotational axis of the wheel when the pivot bracket is installed on the wheelbarrow and the wheelbarrow is resting on a flat level surface without being tilted forward, wherein the bight is designed and configured to be located within a range of location rectangle when the pivot bracket is installed on the wheelbarrow and the wheelbarrow is resting on the flat level surface without being tilted forward, wherein the range of location rectangle is defined by opposed forward and back range of location boundaries that are each perpendicular to the flat level surface and opposed lower and upper range of location boundaries that are each parallel to the flat level surface;
wherein the back range of location boundary is spaced forward of the rotational axis by a distance equal to a radius of the wheel plus 1.2 cm and the lower range of location boundary is spaced from the flat level surface by a distance equal to the radius of the wheel.
