Patent number: 9090273Abstract: A wheelbarrow leg stabilizer having a slip resistant lower surface is provided. Preferably, the slip resistant lower surface includes a plurality of edges structured to engage the ground and thereby increase the starting friction. More preferably, the edges are part of a deformation in the leg stabilizer body. When the stabilizer body is constructed from a generally planar metal member, the deformations may be punched in the stabilizer body thereby creating openings adjacent the deformations. This configuration provides for both an edge that engages the ground but also a face that creates a larger contact surface with the ground.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2014Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: THE AMES COMPANIES, INC.Inventors: Barry R. Albert, Daniel F. Marshall, Joshua O. Mullen, Michael J. Lupey, Jr.

Patent number: 8579342Abstract: This invention provides a post hole digger having a first, traverse pivot point, located on the lower section of two handle members, and a second, blade assembly pivot point located at the medial point of the blade assemblies. Because the first pivot point is a traverse pivot point, the handle members are only required to travel through a limited range of motion. Additionally, the second, blade assembly pivot point is preferably an offset pivot point. Thus, because the second, blade assembly pivot point is disposed at a medial point the blade assemblies, the motion of the handle members, which are coupled to the upper ends of the blade assemblies, is reversed relative to the lower ends of the blade members.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2010Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Ames True Temper, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey M. Norton, Barry R. Albert
