Abstract
A wheelbarrow bumper for a wheelbarrow that has a bumper plate that spans distal ends of a plurality of wheelbarrow handles and a plurality of sleeves that extend in a direction relative to the bumper plate such that the sleeves comprise an angle of orientation that is non-perpendicular relative to the bumper plate. Upon alignment of the plurality of wheelbarrow handles with a corresponding sleeve and coupling of the plurality of wheelbarrow handles to at least one other wheelbarrow element, such as a wheelbarrow stand, tub, or tire, the plurality of sleeves are inhibited from moving in a proximal or distal direction relative to the wheelbarrow.
Claims45
A wheelbarrow bumper for a wheelbarrow, comprising:
- a bumper plate that spans distal ends of a plurality of wheelbarrow handles;
- and
- a plurality of sleeves, each comprising a cavity for receipt of a distal end of a wheelbarrow handle, that are coupled to the bumper plate;
- the plurality of sleeves extending in a direction relative to the bumper plate such that the sleeves comprise an angle of orientation that is non-perpendicular relative to the bumper plate, and such that upon insertion of the plurality of wheelbarrow handles into a corresponding sleeve and coupling of the plurality of wheelbarrow handles to at least one other wheelbarrow element, such as a wheelbarrow stand, tub, or tire, the plurality of sleeves are inhibited from moving in a proximal or distal direction relative to the wheelbarrow.
A wheelbarrow, comprising:
- left and right handles coupled to a stand and a tub, such that the handles are non-parallel;
- and
- a tire coupled towards the distal end of the handles between the stand and a bumper;
- the bumper coupled to the handles by receiving the distal ends of the handles in cavities of left and right sleeves that are coupled to tabs extending divergently from a bumper plate in a proximal direction.
A wheelbarrow, comprising:
- a wheelbarrow bumper with a bumper plate that is coupled to a plurality of sleeves, each comprising a cavity that receives a distal end of a wheelbarrow handle;
- wherein the sleeves are geometrically oriented so as to prevent the wheelbarrow bumper from falling off.
A wheelbarrow bumper for a wheelbarrow, comprising:
- a bumper plate;
- and
- a plurality of sleeves coupled to the bumper plate;
- wherein the bumper plate and the at least one sleeve maintain contact with distal ends and sides of a plurality of handles so as to prevent deformation of the plurality of handles so as to prevent deformation of the handles, to cushion the handles against blows, and to dissipate impacts against the handles.
A wheelbarrow bumper for a wheelbarrow, comprising:
- a bumper plate that spans distal ends of a plurality of wheelbarrow handles;
- and
- a plurality of sleeves each extending in a direction relative to the bumper plate such that each sleeve comprises an angle of orientation that is non-perpendicular relative to the bumper plate and comprises at least one coupling surface that is parallel to each respective direction of extension and comes into contact with at least one corresponding surface of each corresponding distal end of the plurality of wheelbarrow handles, such that upon contacting each coupling surface with the corresponding surface of the plurality of wheelbarrow handles, and coupling of the plurality of wheelbarrow handles to at least one other wheelbarrow element, such as a wheelbarrow stand, tub, or tire, the plurality of sleeves are inhibited from moving in a proximal or distal direction relative to the wheelbarrow.
