Abstract

A basin (13) which fits within the body (13) of a wheelbarrow and includes a downturned first (14) and second lip (15) along the rear (13a) and front walls (11c) of the basin (13). These downturned lips (14 and 15) engage over the upper edges of the respective rear (11a) and front (11c) walls of the wheel barrow (11) to prevent the basin (13) from slipping out during tipping of the barrow. Preferably a downturned peripheral lip (14, 15, 16) is provided around the full periphery of the basin (13).

Description

Barrow Kit This invention relates to barrow for transporting goods, particularly a wheelbarrow.
Even with the advent of so much advanced materials handling machinery, the humble barrow such as the wheelbarrow, is still an essential tool in modern industry.
This is especially so in the building industry. Here a wheelbarrow is used to transport tools, bricks, sand, and ready mixed cement. Due to the incompatibility of these materials however, they are most conveniently transported in different wheelbarrows. For example sand or cement powder could not be transported just after ready mixed cement, unless the wheel barrow is washed out and dried - which of course is time consuming and inconvenient. Furthermore if the cement is not washed out immediately, the wheelbarrow will be ruined. Therefore normally certain wheelbarrows have to be retained exclusively for transporting certain messy material such as cement.Since this of course vastly increases the number of wheelbarrows required on the building site the overall cost to the industry increases because of the increased cost of maintaining an available stock of wheelbarrows, and the transportation of these to and from different building sites.
According to the present invention there is provided a barrow kit comprising a barrow having a body and a removable basin fitting substantially therein, and having means for removing the basin from the barrow.
This basin can be sold separately and forms a second aspect of the invention.
A number of basins can be provided, each for retaining different types of incompatible materials. Therefore after transporting one basin containing for example cement, the wheelbarrow can be released without having to clean it to then transport a basin containing sand. Furthermore in the event that the cement is not immediately washed out, if the basin is plastics (which is preferred) the cement will not adhere strongly to it and can easily be knocked out.
As a result, the number of wheelbarrows required for any one building project will therefore be dramatically reduced.
In a preferred design, the basins are stackable thereby further reducing the cost for transporting the barrow kits.
Conveniently the shape of the basin will be substantially the same as the barrow body to fit reasonably well therein and thereby retain most of the carrying capacity of the wheelbarrow.
The basin is provided with a means by which it may be gripped and removed from the barrow. This could conveniently be hand apertures adjacent the upper edge of the basin or handles projecting from the basin.
Preferably the basin has means for engaging the barrow to prevent slipping from the barrow during tipping.
The invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Fig. 1 - shows a top perspective view of a wheelbarrow and a basin separate therefrom; Fig. 2 - shows the basin within the wheelbarrow; and Fig. 3 - shows another embodiment of a wheelbarrow and basin.
The wheelbarrow is of a conventional type having a frame 10 supporting a body 11 for carrying materials, mounting a wheel 12 at the front thereof and providing legs lOa at its rear end.
The basin 13 is rigid and moulded from plastics such as polyethylene. It is of substantially the same shape as the wheelbarrow body 11 and fits snugly therein. Thus the basin has an open top, a steep back and sides, and a more gradually rising front for easier tipping of materials. The basin 13 can fit wholly within the body of the wheelbarrow 11 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, or it can be deeper as shown in Fig. 3 for carrying more bulky materials. As can be seen, in the embodiment of Figs. 1 and 2, the upper edge of the basin 13 is turned down to form a lip 14 which engages the upper edge of the wheelbarrow body 11 and prevents it slipping therefrom during tipping.
To help lift the basin 13 from the wheelbarrow, handles 15 are provided projecting from the upper end of the basin.
In use, several basins 13 can be stacked within the one wheelbarrow and transported out to the building site.
Cement could be mixed and carried in a first basin which could then be removed, before sand, cement powder, and bricks are transported in other basins, but using the same barrow. In this way, one wheelbarrow can be used over and over again to transport even the most messy and incompatible materials.
It will be appreciated that although the invention has been exemplified with reference to a wheelbarrow, other barrow type kits could be constructed in accordance with the invention.

Claims (8)

Claims
1. A wheel barrow kit comprising a barrow having a body and a removable basin fitting substantially therein which includes means for removing the basin from the barrow.
2. A wheel barrow kit as claimed in claim 1 wherein the basin is substantially the same shape as the barrow body and fits snugly therein,
3. A wheel barrow kit as claimed in claim 1 or 2 wherein the basin includes a planar base with steeply rising back and side portions, and a more gently rising front.
4. A wheel barrow kit as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3 wherein the upper edge of the basin is turned down to form a lip which engages the upper edge of the barrow body.
5. A wheel barrow kit as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein the means for removing the basin from the barrow body are inverted U-shaped handles projecting from the upper end of the basin.
6. A wheel barrow kit as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein the basins are stackable one inside the other.
7. A wheel barrow kit as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein the barrow is a wheelbarrow.
8. A basin having a planar base with steeply rising back and side portions, and a more gently rising front portion, the basin being sized and shaped to fit snugly within a barrow.
