in either direction while holding them securely to the carriage 30 washers and other elements common to such connections may be used to improve the attachment of the wheels 33 to the carriage 30 the handle attachment openings 52 are arranged so that ends of the handle 50 can be affixed using threaded connectors two openings 52 are provided to lend additional strength and rigidity to the connection while orienting the handle 50 upwardly and to the rear as seen in fig1 and 3 the bracket 25 can be either a single unitary piece or two separate pieces joined together preferably the bracket 25 is a single piece bent to form a generally u201c v u201d shaped support with the free end of each arm secured to shovel blade 20 the bracket 25 preferably lends support to the shovel blade 20 as well as holding it in place and preventing tilting of the blade forward and backward while a single arm bracket 25 could be used it is not preferred so as to avoid undesirable movement of the shovel blade 20 relative to the carriage 30 the arms of bracket 25 are made sufficiently long so that the shovel blade 20 does not impinge upon the wheels 33 when the blade is pivoted to the extreme left or right lockable position the lengths of the bracket 25 and support bar 35 width of the shovel blade 20 and the diameter of the wheels 33 will all.
