Abstract: A powered load carrier having a front wheel and rear driving wheels secured to a lower frame which supports a hinged upper frame that engage a detachable load carrying apparatus which is slideable on the upper frame between a rearward position where the load is disposed over the drive wheels and a forward position over the hinge whereby the upper frame can be tipped forward at its hinge to dump the load.

Abstract: A wheeled dump cart is described which may be dumped from the user's normal position behind the handle. The cart includes a box member pivotably connected to the frame. A cam member may be pivoted from a normal raised position to a ground-engaging position. The cam member engages the box member and causes it to pivot forwardly relative to the frame so as to dump the contents of the cart.

Abstract: A utility cart especially suited for snow removal and other yard work and comprising a generally rectangular body having side panels, a rear panel, and a bottom panel. A pair of wheels are provided at the rear of the body for rollably engaging a support surface and a rounded nose is provided at the front of the body. The rounded nose normally slidably engages the support surface but is rollably engagable with the support surface in response to a generally upward force applied to handle at the rear of the body to facilitate upward rolling pivotal movement of the cart about its nose to dump the contents of the cart out of the open front end of the body. The cart is particularly suited for snow removal but, because of the basic open box configuration of the body, has general application for year round yard work.

Abstract: Trash storing apparatus includes a support portion, a container portion and a container dumping portion. The support portion includes a substantially horizontal frame section with an undercarriage section including a plurality of wheels extending downwardly from the horizontal frame section, an upstanding frame section extending upwardly from the horizontal frame section adjacent one end thereof and an inclined frame section extending from adjacent an opposite end of the horizontal frame section to a point adjacent the upper end of the upstanding frame section. The container portion normally rests on the inclined frame section of the support portion and extends from adjacent the lower end of the inclined frame section upwardly beyond the upper end of the upstanding frame section. The container portion also including a receptacle member with an open upper end and a cover member pivotally connected adjacent an edge of the open end of the receptacle member.

Abstract: A tilt truck which comprises a double-walled integral tank and frame of one-piece construction having an open top with a tilt front wall connected to a back wall by a pair of side walls and having a bottom wall connected to the bottom portion of the front, back and side walls, wherein the front wall slants away from the bottom wall, a rocker base is formed in the bottom portion of the front wall, push-pull and tilt hand holes are molded into back wall, and the tilt truck is rust proof, easily cleaned, easily handled and light in weight.

Abstract: Apparatus for delivering solid fuel into a fireplace safely and easily includes a fuel supporting rack which may be pivoted between a horizontal fuel supporting position to a downwardly angled unloading position by means of a control lever having its operating end positioned a substantial distance from the fireplace.

Abstract: A side dump cart useful for carting lengths of pipe and steel in various forms and other items and comprising a frame with wheels, a load-carrying platform tiltably mounted thereon and held from tilting during travel by a latch which is releasable for allowing the platform to tilt for dumping the load. A safety spring maintains the latch in latching position; a guard protects the latch operating surface from accidental engagement forces; a removable catch further prevents the platfrom from tilting; and the guard and catch being released by a separate motion of the operator from the releasing of the latch.

Abstract: A break down dumping cart is disclosed including a hopper and a support structure which operably supports the hopper and which can be disassembled and stored within the hopper for compact storage and shipping. The support structure includes a pair of side frame members and a number of associated bracing members which cooperate to bracket the hopper on three of its sides, pivotal support members attaching one of the side frame members to the hopper, pivotal over center lever members attaching the other side frame member to the hopper, an axle and wheel assembly attached to a lower section of the side frame members, and a pair of handle members attached to an rearwardly extending from respective ones of the side frame members.

Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, a U-shaped bracket forms pivot pins by means of the bent-out end areas of the bracket arms, which pivot pins are insertable (and held by the resilience of the bracket) in recesses of the car container sidewalls. The U-shaped bracket has its respective arms engaging in lateral slots of the container insert. The removable container insert may be lowered into engagement with the U-shaped bracket after assembly of the bracket with the car container, with the dimensioning such that the container insert prevents disengagement of the retaining pins. Outwardly inclined parts of the bracket arms may engage in close fitting elongated slots of the container insert so that the container insert pivots as a unit with the supporting bracket.

Abstract: A roller supported scoop shovel is pivotally mounted on a forward portion of a wheeled mobile frame having generally upright handle means. Control of the shovel for material scooping, lifting, transporting, pushing and dumping modes is effected by means adapted to be manipulated adjacent to the top of the handle means. The frame is adapted to be rocked to facilitate operation of the shovel. All operations of the shovel including material scooping, lifting, pushing and dumping are adapted to be effected by a person remaining substantially erect. The device is readily collapsible for storage.

Abstract: A manually operated dump truck is provided with front wheels which are located and mounted on the bottom of the truck, as for example, on swivels, so that they are selectively movable from a forward position substantially in advance of the center of gravity of the truck, which is the position selected when the truck is being loaded or used as a conveyance, to a position more closely adjacent the center of gravity when the truck is to be dumped thus reducing the amount of energy required to tip the truck forwardly in a dumping action. Manually controlled latching means is provided to maintain the wheels in the forward position.

Abstract: A barrow comprising a wheeled frame, a hopper pivotally mounted on the frame, a handle member pivotally connected to the frame, latch means provided between the hopper and the frame to enable the hopper to be selectively pivotted about a substantially horizontal transverse axis of the frame, and/or a second latch means provided between the handle member and the frame to enable the handle to be selectively pivotted about a substantially horizontal axis of the frame.
