Patent attributes
An attachable stabilizer for laterally supporting a garbage bin balances the garbage bin as it is being pushed or pulled by the user. The attachable stabilizer includes a clevis, an extension plate, a garbage-bin coupler, a wheel, and an axle. The clevis affixes the wheel onto the extension plate in a steerable manner, thereby allowing the wheel to steer when the garbage bin makes a turn. The extension plate rotatably and laterally supports the garbage bin from tipping over. The garbage-bin coupler releasably couples the extension plate onto the wheel-and-axle assembly. As such, the extension plate may be retrofitted onto a variety of different garbage bins. The wheel and the axle along with the wheel-and-axle assembly allows the garbage bin to roll over the terrain. This allows the user to easily transport the garbage bin even if it is heavily loaded with waste.
