ABSTRACT:
A wheelbarrow which may be readily converted to a garden trailer is presented. The wheelbarrow comprises an upper pan for carrying materials. The upper pan is connected to lower non-parallel base rails which serve as the base and handles for the upper pan. Attached beneath the base rails are a pair of wheels. The wheels are seperated from the base rails by seperating plates and the pan is separated from the base rails by a wedge. The converging ends of the base rail have a dumping base plate attached. A mainframe tow bar is attached to the housing of the axle between the two wheels. When it is desired to convert the wheelbarrow to a trailer, a tow bar extender is easily fastened to the mainframe tow bar and the handles are folded back underneath the pan. In dumping material from the pan, the wheelbarrow may be easily turned on its base plate and the entire contents of the pan dumped. This dumping is facilitated by the separation of the pan and wheels from the base rail by the separating plates and wedge. The tow bar extender is conveniently attached to the base rail when the device is being used as a wheelbarrow.
