Patent

CA 2323917

This invention relates to an all season mufti-purpose shovel and wheel barrow combination, in the fashion of a human powered mini front end loader. The apparatus is comprised of a multi-medium container for scooping snow, gravels, soils etc. This container (9) is moved along the ground or at varying heights scooping up any loose piled material to be shoveled and transported to another location. The container is attached to a wheeled frame (5,14), which is pushed by handles (3) similar to a wheel barrow, after said frame is rotated to a horizontal position. Upon reaching a destination the container [ shovel or bucket - (9) ] can be dumped efficiently by rotation through the use of dump straps (2). The dump straps are attached to the container dump strap connector bracket (15), and the frame hip thigh push bar (1) at the other end. The container is rotated by pulling the dump strap handle (6), sliding said straps over a directional control cross bar (7). The hinged gravity stop (8) locks the container while in the vertical position to allow filling. When the unit is rotated to the horizontal transport position, the loads center of gravity is transferred to the rear of the container helping balance the unit for increased mechanical advantage. This shift of weight also trips the hinged gravity stop allowing rotation of the container for dumping. The container is held in place and rotated on two aligned rotation assemblies (10) which are connected to the frame. The re-enforced container forward edge (11) is driven into the material to be transported by pushing on the frame foot push bar area between the wheels (14). Adjustment of the container maximum rear rotation angle, is done with the dump strap buckles (4).
