WHEELBARROW WITH TILTABLE TRAY Since the humble wheelbarrow first came into existence the major concern and problem that became apparent with the device was the ability to empty the load contents of the wheelbarrow's contents with control and ease, This invention. addresses the specific problem of tipping the contents from the bucket of the wheelbarrow with minimal ease and effort whilst retaining full control of the wheelbarrow. The material construction of the wheelbarrow is not relevant to the invention as any type of material used can include the Easy Empty innovation.

A wheelbarrow is a small cart with handles and a wheel, used for moving loads on a building site or around a garden, that comprises a load bucket attached to a load bearing frame that is weight balanced towards a driving wheel or wheels that is able to be manoeuvred by manually raising the load bearing frame handles to transport me toad from one point to another.

The invention allows the operator to apply pressure to a lever, using his or her thumb, attached on either the left or right hand-grip on the handle of the load bearing frame to release a latch, that holds the bucket in a normal position, to be able to fulcrum swing from a hinge, or hinges, attached to the front base of the load bucket and load frame to allow the bucket to tip forward emptying the contents from the bucket.

The lever mechanism that pressure is applied to controls a rod that runs along the handles attached to the load frame of the wheelbarrow that withdraws the latch tongue or tongues from the latch or latches attached to the rear base of the bucket. When pressure is released from the latch a spring will draw the tongue bar back to the original position allowing the tongue to lock back into the latch securing the bucket into a normal loading position.

If the load frame of the wheelbarrow and handles were or are hollow, the latching mechanism can and could be completely housed within the cavity of either of the handles.

With the tongue being drawn back from the latch this allows the bucket to swing freely on the hinges attached to the front base of the bucket and the load irame. The hinges are at a fulcrum point and can be either of the fodlowing,'attached at each front corner, the full width of the bucket, centre of the bucket or multiple hinges at any front point. Any of these will in accordance with this invention allow the complete operation of the fulcrum swing to become operative arriving in the intended use of this invention.

The fulcrum hinges are directly related to the size and weight of the load that the bucket and load frame is able to bare, This invention can be better understood with reference to the illustrations of basic embodiments of the invention : - The main illustration is a side view of a wheelbarrow,'Fig-trre 2', with a circled area referring to Detail 4'.'Detail 4'gives a side view and above view of an illustration referring to, the lever 'Detail 4C', the attaching rod'Detail 4, C3', the latch mechanism 'Detail', when combined creates the mechanism that locks and releases the bucket allowing it to tip.

The alternative illustration is å front view of a wheelbarrow, 'Figure 1', with a circled area referring to'Detail 3','Detail 3' is enlargements of the fulcrum hinge that, in this instance, is designed for attachment to both front comers of the bucket and load frame. It is from this point that the bucket is able to swing in a forward motion allowing the contents of the bucket to empty out.
