ABSTRACT:
A nestable shopping cart having a basket assembly supported on a wheeled base assembly which includes a rearwardly opening U-shaped base member having rearwardly projecting side rails. The side rails include diverging front rail portions which project rearwardly from the front end of the cart and terminate in rear rail portions which extend over a substantial length and terminate at the rearward end of the cart. The rear rail portions diverge outwardly with respect to the front rail portions and define a flared chutelike opening at the rearward end of the base member.
The base assembly can also have a tray mounted thereon. The forward end of the tray has a cross rod, the ends of which project into openings formed in the opposite side rails for creating a hinged connection. The tray also includes rearwardly extending support rods which pass over a mounting member which extends transversely between the side rails and mounts thereon the front casters. The two outermost support rods pass closely adjacent the opposite sides of the nuts which mount the front casters to prevent sideward displacement of the tray so that it cannot become disengaged from the side rails. These nuts project upwardly a sufficient extent to permit upward pivoting of the tray during nesting.
