A cart may include a first set of lower support arms and a second set of lower support arms, each of the lower support arms having a wheel attached thereto; a first set of upper support arms and a second set of upper support arms; a holding frame coupled to the first set of upper support arms and the second set of upper support arms; a locking mechanism; and a folding mechanism configured to allow the cart to transition between a folded position and unfolded position. During transition, the first set of upper support arms may be moveable relative to the second set of upper support arms; the first set of lower support arms may be moveable relative to the second set of lower support arms; and the first set of upper support arms may be moveable relative to the first set of lower support arms.

An assistive robot includes a manipulator, a base coupled to the manipulator, the base defining a front end and a rear end positioned opposite the front end, the base including a chassis body, a front conveyor assembly positioned at the front end of the base, the front conveyor assembly including a front conveyor defining a conveyor pathway that extends at least partially within the chassis body and a front toe extending outward from the front conveyor, and a rear conveyor assembly positioned at the rear end of the base, the rear conveyor assembly including a rear conveyor defining a conveyor pathway that extends at least partially within the chassis body and a rear toe extending outward from the rear conveyor.

A dual directional gate that allows an object to move freely in one direction over the gate, but limits the removable of one object over the gate in the opposite direction. The gate assembly includes a blocking arm, a cam element and a protruding arm mounted on a rotating driver shaft. The gate assembly also includes a drive shaft parallel to said driver shaft. Mounted on the drive shaft is a latch mounted on the drive shaft with a proximal end that presses against the cam element and prevents rotation of the blocking arm towards the latch. Also mounted on the drive shaft is a biased follower rod with a distal end that contacts the protruding arm when rotated towards the drive shaft. The gate also includes a pivotally mounted sub-assembly coupled to a solenoid. When the solenoid is activated, the sub-assembly rotates which allows the latch to rotate and unblock the blocking arm and allow an object to forcibly move the blocking arm. Movement of the blocking arm causes the gate toy reset.

A device has a cuboidal basket portion defining a cavity. A front pair of legs is attached to the basket portion such that the front legs are pivotable about a first axis, and each front leg has a wheel. A rear pair of legs is attached to the basket portion such that the rear legs are pivotable about a second axis, and each rear leg has a wheel. A handle is attached to the basket portion and is pivotable around a third axis. The device has a basket configuration in which the handle is located across and above the basket portion and the legs are collapsed with the wheels located adjacent to a base of the basket portion. The device has a trolley configuration in which the handle is located rearward of the basket portion and the legs are extended for supporting the basket portion.

A personal shopping cart includes a supporting frame hingedly connected to a base frame; a plurality of wheels; a detachable support assembly including opposing first and second horizontal support members; opposing first and second side members each being sized and configured for selective attachment to and detachment from a corresponding one of the opposing first and second horizontal support members; a support surface secured between the opposing first and second side members; and wherein the side members and the support surface collectively form a receptacle that is sized for receipt of a shopping basket; wherein the receptacle is detached from the opposing first and second horizontal support members; and wherein the base frame and the opposing first and second horizontal support members are structured and disposed to be folded against the supporting frame when the personal shopping cart is stored.

A foldable shopping cart is disclosed herein. The cart includes a folding frame that supports a fabric container in a basket-like configuration. Additionally, the cart frame includes four wheels of which, the two front wheels are swiveling castor-type wheels and the two rear wheels are fixed and include a braking system. The braking system consists of a friction rod that presses against the wheel via a spring which is connected to a trigger-like mechanism mounted to a foldable bar located between the rear wheels. The cart includes two posts that extend diagonally upward and proximally are vertically adjustable.
