ABSTRACT:
A shopping attachment is disclosed for direct connection to a conventional shopping cart to allow the cart to be safely utilized by and serve as a support for disabled persons. The attachment comprises a pair of spaced tubular members attachable to the shopping cart. Each of the tubular members has a wheel mounted to a lower portion thereof. The tubular members are formed to have a horizontal support section for supporting a portion of the weight of the user. The horizontal support section preferably extends forward of the wheels attached to the tubular members to provide greater support and stability to the user. A braking mechanism is disposed in engageable frictional contact with the wheel and a braking mechanism handle is provided for regulating the operation of the braking mechanism. Breaking mechanism linkage is provided to connect the braking mechanism with the actuator handle such that said braking mechanism is normally engaged to the wheel to oppose movement of the wheel, and released from engagement upon movement of the actuator handle.
