Wheelbarrow leg stabilizer

摘要

A wheelbarrow leg stabilizer having a slip resistant lower surface is provided. Preferably, the slip resistant lower surface includes a plurality of edges structured to engage the ground and thereby increase the starting friction. More preferably, the edges are part of a deformation in the leg stabilizer body. When the stabilizer body is constructed from a generally planar metal member, the deformations may be punched in the stabilizer body thereby creating openings adjacent the deformations. This configuration provides for both an edge that engages the ground but also a face that creates a larger contact surface with the ground.

1. A stabilizer for a wheelbarrow frame assembly leg, said wheelbarrow frame assembly having a plurality of rigid members structured to support a tray and structured to have at least one wheel rotatably coupled thereto, at least one frame member structured to act as a ground engaging leg to support a wheelbarrow at rest, said stabilizer comprising:
a body having a generally horizontal slip resistant member; said generally horizontal slip resistant member having an upper surface and a lower surface; said slip resistant member lower surface having at least one downwardly extending protrusion, said at least one protrusion structured to engage the ground; and said at least one protrusion selected from the group including a semi-circular protrusion and a truncated conical protrusion.
