ABSTRACT:
A shopping cart has a molded plastic basket and a chassis including a generally U-shaped cart handle tube and a reinforced plastic molded lower support structure. A basket support wire braces the basket against the cart handle tube and lends rigidity and strength to the basket. The support wire has legs that extend within respective channels provided along opposing side segments of an upper peripheral edge portion of the basket, less than the entire lengths of the opposing side segments. Bent end portions of the legs, extending into openings provided in the basket peripheral edge portion, fixedly secure the support wire to the basket. A cross-arm portion of the support wire connects the legs and engages the cart handle tube. Upper leg portions of the cart handle tube extend downwardly along a rear panel of the cart basket. Lower leg portions of the cart handle tube extend along rear edge surfaces of the lower support structure and provide at their ends wheel assembly mounting locations. A pair of metal reinforcing rails extending within a horizontally extending base member of the lower support structure are coupled at rear ends thereof to respective lower leg portions of the cart handle tube, and at opposite ends to a front wheel assembly mounting plate.
