ABSTRACT:
In a shopping cart comprising an undercarriage, a handle having two tubular portions extending generally upwardly from the undercarriage, and a basket mounted to the undercarriage and the handle, the basket has a gate hinged to the tubular portions of the handle via a hinge wire extending along an upper edge of the gate. Each end portion of the hinge wire extends through an inwardly opening aperture in an associated one of the tubular portions of the handle. Two rivets are employed, each having a head bearing against one such tubular portion of the handle, a tubular shank extending inwardly through an outwardly opening aperture in the same handle portion, and a mandrel drawn outwardly into the shank so as to expand the shank. As disposed within the tubular portions of the handle, the mandrels of the rivets limit axial movement of the hinge wire and retain the end portions of the hinge wire within the tubular portions of the handle, approximately at a centered position.
