ABSTRACT:
A shopping cart rental system containing one or more stations (49) per shopping center, several locking mechanisms (43) per station, and one shopping cart per locking mechanism. A bail (23) permanently fastened to a shopping cart locks into the locking mechanism. Three quarters inserted into the three coin slots (28) and simultaneously depressed by the flap (34) mechanically unlock the bail, releasing the cart. When the cart is returned and the bail is reinserted into the locking mechanism, the locking mechanism once again secures the bail in place and at the same time returns, by mechanical actuation only, one of the three quarters that was initially used to release the cart.
