Improvements in Wheelbarrows.
PETER WILLIAM TANNER No. 22 Elm Road Fulflood Winchester in the
County of Hants Builder do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its objects certain improvements in the design and
construction of wheelbarrows. In carrying the said invention into practical effect,
I construct the wheel immediately under the body of the wheelbarrow in front as
shown on drawings left with Provisional Specification with wrought or cast iron
apparatus and fittings to secure same to body of wheelbarrow with fixed guides and
loose bearings for axle to run in with steel spiral or any other suitable spring
attachment. In making and performing the said invention I usually make the
fixed guides for retaining loose bearings in position of broad flat iron, bent to suit
requirements with square or round hole through same for loose bearings to work
through, the same being bolted and fixed to sides of barrow. The loose bearings
being made of solid iron or steel of suitable dimensions to go through hole of fixed
guides and then through springs into holes drilled into sides of barrow with
iron plates screwed on to protect wearing away of wood holes and to retain
bearings in same with split pin or screwed nuts for keeping same getting out of
position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The design construction and use of the above apparatus composed of wrought or
cast iron fittings with steel spiral or other suitable spring attachment for the better
improvement of wheelbarrows by placing the wheel under. The said fittings being
so constructed as to leave the body intact. The advantages of the said construction
being the better facility for wheeling the said wheel taking the greater weight off

wheelbarrow described but use the same on any as it may seem fit not departing
from my said invention.
