  • Patent number: 9701462
    Abstract: A carton for a wheelbarrow kit having a hopper with rim portion and a tapered bucket portion, the carton structured to enclose the rim portion of the hopper and having a first opening allowing the bucket portion of the hopper to extend out of the carton. The carton further provides a second opening generally aligned with the first opening, but disposed on the side of the carton opposed to the first opening. The hopper is inverted in the carton so that the rim is disposed at the bottom of the carton and the hopper extends upwardly. In this configuration, multiple cartons enclosing wheelbarrow kits may be stacked on top of each other with the hopper of a lower carton extending upwardly through the second opening of the adjacent carton and into the partially enclosed space of the hopper in the carton above.
