A material handling apparatus is provided which enables an operator to load, transport, and unload material, while the apparatus may be moving in the forward and backward directions. The apparatus includes a frame structure means, a material handling means, and a power transfer means, with the material handling means and the power transfer means being mounted on the frame structure means. The material handling means is a conventional type of load bucket, commonly found on construction equipment. It is pivotally mounted to the rear of the frame structure means, and is capable of pivoting in both the forward and backward directions via the power transfer means. An optional item may include an attachment component for attaching the apparatus to a piece of construction equipment or farm equipment, such as a tractor. The apparatus may also be part of a motorized vehicle, in which case the attachment component is not required. The apparatus may also have a wheel assembly mounted on the frame structure means, which would reduce the load felt by the lift of a tractor. The wheel assembly may also be used to change the ratio of the lift travel distance to the bucket travel distance, when the apparatus is connected to the lift of a tractor.

1. A material handling apparatus comprising;a frame structure means having a support member extending in the general forward and backward directions, and an attachment means mounted to the general forward area of said support member; a generally upright bucket means pivotally mounted at its general bottom center to the general backward area of said support member of said frame structure means, such that the open end of said bucket means is pointing in the generally upward direction; a power transfer means comprising at least one conventional cylinder means having an accompanying piston means, said cylinder means mounted in a generally horizontal position to the general forward area of said frame structure means, such that said accompanying piston means may be moved in the general forward and backward directions; and a linkage means mounted at one end to said piston means and at its other end to said bucket means, such that said open end of said bucket means may be pivoted to point in the generally forward direction when the piston is retracted forward, and said open end of said bucket means may be pivoted to point in the generally backward direction when the piston is extended generally backward, with the pivot point of said linkage member with said bucket means creating a reciprocating arcuate path about the pivot point of said bucket means and said support member of said frame structure means, when the apparatus is in normal operation; whereby said apparatus may be attached to the rear lift of a tractor through said attachment means of said frame structure means, said tractor having a conventional hydraulic supply operatively connected to said cylinder means, said hydraulic supply used to move said piston in the general forward and backward directions, such that said open end of said bucket means may be pivoted to point in the forward and backward directions so that material may be loaded and unloaded into said open end while said apparatus is being moved in the respective forward and backward directions. 2. A material handling apparatus as claimed in claim 1, said cylinder means being pivotally mounted at its front end to said support member of said frame structure means, and said piston being rigidly mounted at its rear end to said linkage member.3. A material handling apparatus as claimed in claim 1, said cylinder means being rigidly mounted at its front end to said support member of said frame structure means, and said piston being pivotally mounted at its rear end to said linkage member.4. A material handling apparatus as claimed in claim 1, said support member of said flume structure means having base openings, said bucket means having generally horizontal support components mounted at its bottom and extending in the side directions, said components sized to pivotally fit within the base openings said support member such that said bucket means may be pivotally attached.5. A material handling apparatus as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a wheel assembly mounted to said support member of said frame structure means, at a location which is generally forward of said bucket means.6. A material handling apparatus as claimed in claim 5, said wheel assembly be positionable and securable at different locations along said support member of said frame structure means.
