ABSTRACT:
A gate construction for a shopping cart basket wherein a gate panel is disposed between sidewalls of the basket for closing an end thereof. The gate panel has its lower edge pivotally supported on a pair of brackets mounted to the sidewalls adjacent the lower corners thereof. A latch structure coacts between the sidewalls and the upper corners of the gate for holding the gate in a closed position. The pivotal mounting of the gate on the brackets permits the gate panel to be lifted upwardly to release the latch structure. The gate panel can then be swung outwardly and downwardly away from the basket into an intermediate open position. The support brackets are provided with substantially L-shaped slots in which the lower edge of the gate panel is pivotally and slidably supported, which slots have elongated horizontal portions disposed below and extending rearwardly along the bottom wall of the basket. When the gate is swung into the intermediate open position, the gate can then be pushed rearwardly so that it is slidably retracted beneath the bottom wall of the basket.
