ABSTRACT:
A brake assembly for a shopping cart includes an elongated shaft and a pair of pivots for pivotally attaching the elongated shaft to each rear leg of the shopping cart. A pair of L-shaped members is secured to the elongated shaft and movable for frictionally engaging a respective rear wheel of the shopping cart. An actuating lever is attached to one end of the elongated shaft and is manually operable for moving the L-shaped members. A detent and guide member is secured to the shopping cart in proximity to its rearwardly disposed handle bar for guiding movement of the actuating lever. A ring couples the actuating lever to the detent and guide member.
