Abstract
A stabilizer structure for a wheelbarrow is disclosed. The wheelbarrow stabilizer provides better stability to the wheelbarrow as well as includes a more comfortable grip that allows for easier lifting, tilting, and dumping of the wheelbarrow. The wheelbarrow stabilizer further includes geometry and manufacturing to improve its strength and durability.
Claims20
A stabilizer for a wheelbarrow, comprising:
- a stabilizer bottom portion having a center line, the stabilizer bottom affixed to a leg of the wheelbarrow;
- a stabilizer top tab having a center line, the stabilizer top tab affixed to the leg of the wheelbarrow;
- a stabilizer upright portion extending from the stabilizer bottom portion;
- and
- a stabilizer top portion extending between the stabilizer top tab and the stabilizer upright portion:
- wherein the stabilizer top tab is angled relative to the stabilizer top portion thereby defining a stabilizer upper exterior angle, the stabilizer top portion is angled relative to the stabilizer upright portion thereby defining a stabilizer middle interior angle, and the stabilizer upright portion is angled relative to the stabilizer bottom portion thereby defining a stabilizer bottom exterior angle.

A stabilizer for a wheelbarrow, comprising:
- a stabilizer bottom portion, the stabilizer bottom affixed to a leg of the wheelbarrow;
- a stabilizer top tab, the stabilizer top tab affixed to the leg of the wheelbarrow;
- a stabilizer upright portion extending from the stabilizer bottom portion;
- a stabilizer top portion intermediate of the stabilizer top tab and the stabilizer upright portion;
- and
- wherein the stabilizer top tab and the stabilizer top portion define a stabilizer upper exterior angle, the stabilizer upper exterior angle being greater than 90 degrees and the stabilizer top portion and the stabilizer upright portion define a stabilizer middle interior angle.

A stabilizer for a wheelbarrow, comprising:
- a stabilizer bottom portion having a center line and a width, the stabilizer bottom affixed to a leg of the wheelbarrow at a first location on the leg;
- a stabilizer top tab having a center line, the stabilizer top tab affixed to the leg of the wheelbarrow at a second location on the leg spaced-apart from the first location;
- a stabilizer upright portion extending from the stabilizer bottom portion;
- and
- a stabilizer top portion coupling the stabilizer top tab and the stabilizer upright portion;
- wherein the stabilizer top tab is angled relative to the stabilizer top portion thereby defining a stabilizer upper exterior angle, the stabilizer top portion is angled relative to the stabilizer upright portion thereby defining a stabilizer middle interior angle, and the stabilizer upright portion is angled relative to the stabilizer bottom portion thereby defining a stabilizer bottom exterior angle;
- and
- wherein an intersection of the first location and the stabilizer bottom portion center line and an intersection of the second location and stabilizer top tab center line define a stabilizer offset distance, the stabilizer offset distance being larger than the stabilizer bottom portion width.
