ABSTRACT:
A wheeled nestable shopping cart having a wheeled base on which an upwardly-opening shopping basket is fixedly mounted. A handle is fixedly positioned adjacent the rear end of the basket. The base is formed primarily by three one-piece U-shaped rearwardly opening members. The first U member defines a base frame and mounts casters adjacent the front or bight end thereof, and rear wheels adjacent the free ends of the side legs. The second U member has an elevated U-shaped portion which directly supports the bottom wall of the basket adjacent the rear end thereof, and has rear leg portions which project down and rigidly secure to the side legs of the base frame adjacent the rear ends thereof. The third U member functions to provide vertical load support between the first and second members, and to prevent storage of goods on the base. This third U member includes a pair of sidewardly-spaced truss members which include vertical load support braces which extend directly between the first and second members, and forwardly and downwardly inclined front braces which connect adjacent the front bight of the base and prevent storage of goods on the base.
