| 20090309322 | Stocking Cart Conveyance - A stocking cart conveyance may include three tiers, wherein the lower and middle tiers are substantially full length and the upper tier is substantially shorter to improve user sight lines, cart maneuverability, and/or accessibility to items in the middle tier. The upper tier in illustrative embodiments may be approximately 70-80% of the length of the full length tier(s) so as to maintain significant storage volume while still providing improved access, maneuverability, or sight lines. The upper tier may optionally be hinged so as to further improve user accessibility to items placed on the second tier. In illustrative embodiments the carts may longitudinally nest into one another to reduce the space needed to store the carts, and in certain embodiments the carts may be configured to nest when the upper tiers are in an upright position. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20110089652 | MATERIAL HANDLING CART AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING THE SAME - A material handling cart for transporting a load of materials is provided. The material handling cart includes a base frame, a support frame coupled to the base frame, and a shelf coupled to at least one of the support frame and the base frame, the shelf pivotable between a raised position in which the shelf is adjacent the support frame and a lowered position in which the shelf is seated atop of the base frame, the shelf configured to receive the load of materials. The material handling cart also includes a flexible restraining member removably coupled to the support frame, the flexible restraining member configured to be adjustably tensioned about the load of materials to secure the load of materials to the base frame and the support frame during transport. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20130140778 | SHOPPING CARTS - A method of making a shopping cart includes forming a frame capable of supporting a plurality of basket assembly types, selecting from the plurality of basket assembly types a first basket assembly defining a first basket assembly type; and connecting the first basket assembly to the frame. | 06-06-2013 |
| 20140203528 | MANUAL SHOPPING CHAIR - The manual shopping chair includes a frame supported by a left rear wheel, a right rear wheel, a left front caster wheel and a right front caster wheel. A wheel lock disk with a plurality of radially extending slots is connected to each rear wheel. Springs urge lock bars toward the slots to lock both wheels. The lock bars are manually held out of the slots during movement. A mast is clamped to the frame front. A pair of basket support tubes are pivotally attached to the mast by a shaft in vertical slots. A basket is clamped to basket tubes. The basket is pivotable from a storage position to an upright position. Hooks hold the support tubes in an upright position. The mast top edge is lower than a seat mounted on the frame for nesting multiple shopping units. | 07-24-2014 |

| 20160082996 | SECURITY CART - A security cart includes a rear wall, a wheeled base frame connected to the rear wall and a base shelf pivotable between a horizontal position and a raised position. A first sidewall and a first door pivotally connected to the first sidewall are movable from locked positions with the base shelf to a folded position forwardly of the rear wall. A second sidewall and a second door pivotally connected to the second sidewall are movable from locked positions to a folded position forwardly of the folded first sidewall and first door. The base shelf is movable from the horizontal position to the raised position, and retained against the folded first sidewall and the first door and the folded second sidewall and second door. | 03-24-2016 |
| 20160107667 | MOBILE TRANSPORTING MEANS - A manually movable transporting means that is nestable with identical transporting means has a chassis equipped with longitudinal members, said chassis carrying a loading and/or nesting device which is mounted on the chassis so as to be movable about respective horizontal axes and rests on at least one support. A supporting element is provided at the front end of the loading and/or nesting device and at least one inclined deflector surface is arranged in the rear region of the transporting means, said deflector surface dropping obliquely towards the rear and being designed to receive the supporting element of a further identical transporting means driven onto said surface, which means can be pushed into a transporting means located in front. At least one clearance is formed next to each support, wherein, as viewed in the horizontal view of the transporting means and in the longitudinal direction thereof, each deflector surface is pictured as being located in a clearance. When two transporting means are nested, each deflector surface of one transporting means uses or takes up the clearance assigned to the deflector surface of the other transporting means. | 04-21-2016 |
