ABSTRACT:
A skid attachment for a shopping cart, useful in operative position to allow easy movement of the cart over snowy and icy surfaces, as in supermarket parking lots, includes a pair of skid members near the front wheels of the cart, when the attachment is installed, which are selectively movable into inoperative storage position underneath the cart and into operative position with the skid surfaces thereof being lower than the front wheels of the cart, hand operable linkages for moving the skid members selectively into either inoperative or operative position, and fastening means for holding the skid members and the associated linkages to the cart. Preferably, the skid attachment includes stops for limiting the movements of the skid members, locking means for holding them in position and handle or equivalent means so that the skid members may be readily moved into desired positions. Additionally, the skids are of preferred shapes, such as skids, runners or skiis, to give the cart stability and to facilitate movement through snow and over ice. Also disclosed is a method of facilitating movement of the skid portion of the skid attachment between inoperative and operative positions by raising the cart with a certain type of lifting device so that the weight of the filled cart does not oppose movements of the skids, which, in such movements, have portions thereof passing beneath the front wheels of the cart.
