In a shopping cart, in which a basket is supported by a chassis, a tray is hinged within the basket so as to enable the tray to be selectively positionable in a generally horizontal, usage position or in a generally vertical, storage position. In a preferred embodiment, a hinge wire is located at what becomes an upper end of each hinge aperture in the storage position, in which the tray does not extend above the front wall of the basket. The tray is arranged so that it is necessary to move the tray so as to space the upper end of each hinge aperture from the hinge wire sufficiently to avoid interference between the tray and the front wall of the basket when repositioning the tray from the storage position into the usage position. Each side wall of the basket has a support projecting into the basket and adapted to engage the tray with the tray resting on the supports so as to stabilize the tray when positioned in the usage position. The tray is arranged to lean against the front wall of the basket in the storage position.

A front gate for a shopping cart basket comprises two stanchions, each formed from a wire fixed to the front edge of a side panel of the basket, and a gate panel including horizontal wires defining upper hinge pintles and lower latch pintles. The wires forming the stanchions are bent to define vertical slots having front openings and permitting vertical movement of the gate panel between a lower position and an upper position when the hinge and latch pintles extend into the slots. The openings are disposed to permit the gate panel to swing on the hinge pintles and the latch pintles to exit the slots via the openings when the gate panel is raised from a lower position to an upper position whereupon the gate panel can be then dropped at the hinge pintles so as to open the front gate.

A wheeled cart, such as a luggage cart, comprises a wheeled chassis and a handle portion extending upwardly from the wheeled chassis and having two upright portions spaced laterally from each other and a gripping portion extending laterally between the upright portions and is equipped with a seat for a child. The seat extends between the upright portions and has a bottom portion fixed to the upright portions and a backrest portion hinged to the bottom portion. At least three dividers extend upwardly from the seat and are spaced laterally from one another so as to define open-topped gaps to accommodate the legs of a child sitting on the seat and extending his or her legs through the open-topped gaps. The dividers are shaped so that handles of bags, purses, or like items can be hung over the dividers and, once hung thereover, can be lowered approximately to the bottom portion of the seat. The handle is shaped such that a child sitting on the seat so as to extend his or her legs through the open-topped gaps defined by the dividers faces toward the gripping portion, which tends to restrain the child against falling toward the gripping portion.

In a shopping cart comprising a main basket and a transverse handle mounted behind the main basket, two bars are mounted fixedly to the handle so as to extend forwardly from the handle. Also, a cupholder formed of wire is mounted slidably to the bars so as to permit the cupholder to slide forwardly to a storage position and backwardly to a usage position within a limited range of movement of the cupholder relative to the bars. In the usage position, the cupholder is capable of holding a large cup and a small cup. Each of the bars is wrapped around the handle and has a lower portion, to which one of the end portions of the cupholder is mounted slidably, and an upper portion, on which a coupon tray formed of wire is mounted fixedly.

A cup holder mounted to a transversely extending handle of a shopping cart includes a holding member and an adjusting member. The holding member is mounted fixedly to the handle so as to project from the handle. The adjusting member is mounted to the handle so as to be pivotable between an operative position and an inoperative position. The adjusting member has a distal edge facing toward a concave edge of the holding member in the operative position of the adjusting member and away from the concave edge thereof in the inoperative position of the adjusting member. A cup having a frusto-conical wall can be supported between the concave edge of the holding member and the distal edge of the adjusting member with the adjusting member in the operative position or between the concave edge of the holding member and a near portion of the handle with the adjusting member in the inoperative position. The holding member is made from a steel wire with two end portions wrapped partially around the handle and from a steel strap with a principal portion interposed between the end portions of the holding member and the handle and welded to the holding member and with an end flange mounted fixedly to one end of the handle. The adjusting member is made from a steel plate welded to a steel wire having two end portions interposed respectively between the end portions and the handle.

In a shopping cart having a handle with two generally vertical portions and a generally horizontal portion and having a main basket, a child seat comprises a primary panel, a secondary panel, and a tertiary panel, each panel being made from welded wires. Defining a back panel of the main basket and a front panel of the child seat and being mounted pivotally to the generally vertical portions of the handle, the primary panel includes generally parallel wires spaced from one another by not more than about two inches. Defining a lower panel of the child seat, the secondary panel has a substantially open portion and a weight-supporting portion, which includes similarly spaced wires. Below where the primary panel is mounted pivotally to the handle, the secondary panel is mounted pivotally to the primary panel by several pivot wires extending from the secondary panel. Two pivot wires define two lateral edges of the secondary panel. Three pivot wires divide the substantially open portion into four leg openings for two seated children.
