Abstract:
1. A cart for dumping utilizing a downward pressure applied by a user, the cart comprising: a) a handle assembly having a user manipulation end and a distal end; b) a wheel assembly having a ground support wheel and a bucket, said ground support wheel having a rotational axis, said bucket fixedly positioned on said wheel assembly relative to said rotational axis of said ground support wheel; c) a ground contacting assembly contacting the ground while said cart is in a resting orientation and to provide for leveraging when said downward pressure is applied to said handle assembly at said user manipulation end; d) a pivotal coupling for pivoting of said handle assembly relative to a remainder of said cart; e) wherein an upward pressure is applied to said wheel assembly in close proximity to said bucket when said downward pressure is applied to said handle assembly at said user manipulation end utilizing a cooperation between said ground contacting assembly and said pivotal coupling wherein said bucket is dumped forward away from said user manipulation end of said handle assembly; (f) wherein said ground contacting assembly further comprises a ground contact portion and wherein said rotational axis of said ground support wheel of said wheel assembly has a resting spacing relative to said ground contact portion of said ground contacting assembly when said cart is in said resting orientation and wherein said rotational axis of said ground support wheel of said wheel assembly has a dumping spacing relative to said ground contact portion of said ground contacting assembly subsequent to said downward pressure being applied to said handle assembly at said user manipulation end and wherein said resting spacing is greater than said dumping spacing.
