IMPROVEMENT IN WHEELBARROWS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 199,698, dated January 29, v1878; application filed November 9, 1877.' e
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM EGKERT, of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Wheelbar'ro w, of which the fo1- lowing is a specication:`
The object of my invention is to provide an improved construction that will reduce the weight and cost, while increasing the strength, of wheelbarrows.
The invention consists in making the side bars each of one continuous piece' of angleiron, twisted about one-fourth of a turn at its forward end, in such a manner as to present one of its anges for the reception of the bearings of the wheel, and the other for the support of the box or body of the barrow, and attaching separate wooden handles to 'the rear end of said bars.
It also consists in the combination, with the said angle-bars, of a brace, also formed of an angle-bar, connecting` together their forward ends and curved around the wheel.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l represents a side view of my improved wheelbarrow. Fig. 2 is a view of the under side of the same. Figs. 3 and 4 are detail sections on the lines w x and y y, respectively.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A is the box of the wheelbarrow. B are the side bars; C, the handles; D, the legs; E,
twisted atb one-fourth of a turn, so that itsV box A, becomes horizontal forward of the' same, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. To the said horizontal forward part ofthe flange a I attach the bearings G for the journals of the shaft F of the wheel E.
To the vertical forward anges a, on the inner side of each, I attach, by bolts or rivets, the ends h of the brace H, which is also made of a bar of angle-iron, and curved, as seenlin Fig. 2, `to give room for the wheel E.
Instead of forming the handles G of iron, in one piece with the bars B, as is usual, I make theln of wood to decrease their weight, and attach them to offsets formedon the rear ends of the side bars B.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The side bars B, each formed of one continuous bar of angle-iron, twisted one-fourth of a turn, as shown, in order to` present iti anges a a', each in its turn, in a horizonta position for the support of the box A and the wheel-shaft bearings Gr of a wheelbarrow, in the manner and for the purpose substantially as specified.
2. The curved angular bar-ironbrace H, in combination with the twisted side bars B, substantiall7 as and for the purpose specified.
WILLIAM ECKERT.
