Wheelbarrow with variable suspension and shock absorber - has wheeled cradle joined to container by rear pivot and central suspension in compression and in tension to shafts

摘要

The wheelbarrow has a cradle (3) carried by the wheel (5). This cradle is joined to the container (1) by a rear pivot axis (7) and by suspension (6) in front of this axis. The suspension includes a shock absorbing element (4). The cradle is not directly fixed to the shafts (2). The shock absorber may be a rubber block or cylinder, springs or jacks. The suspension may be in compression between container and wheel cradle, or in tension between shafts and rotation axis (7). The suspension displaces the load progressively towards the wheel, around the rotation axis. ADVANTAGE - Reduces shocks on rough terrain and load on shafts and users arms. Facilitates unloading, simple and easy for any age.
