Abstract:
A two-wheeled barrow, comprising:a rigid frame assembly; two surface-contacting balancing legs at one end of said frame assembly; two bearings mounted on said frame assembly and spaced from the balancing legs; a freely rotating axle passing through both of the bearings; two wheel and hub assemblies attached to the ends of said axle; a cargo receptacle mounted on said frame assembly, said cargo receptacle being formed with a substantially triangular bottom trough having an inverted apex pointing toward the axle to provide a uniform and balanced fulcrum about the axle, said triangular bottom running to an upper edge; a handle assembly attached at another end of said frame assembly and extending parallel along one side of the triangular bottom of said cargo receptacle; and, a safety bracket attached perpendicularly to the handle assembly at points on the handle assembly that is proximate the upper edge of said cargo receptacle, said safety bracket extending outward away from said cargo receptacle, said safety bracket being a predetermined length sufficient to prevent said handle assembly from contacting the ground if said two-wheeled barrow tips rearwardly.
