The current invention may be to provide a modular luggage system having an at least one modular bag that may be configured to be secured to a cart configured to be fully-collapsible. In this embodiment, the collapsible adjustable cart may be configured in a nested configuration such that it may be a unibody structure that may be easily collapsed and stored, preferably in one or more modular bags. In this embodiment, the cart may further include a plurality of telescoping arms coupled to a base support as well as a plurality of extendable wheels secured to the base support through at least one wheel coupler. The adjustable support surface may be expandable through the use of one or more collapsible surfaces such that it may better accommodate one or more modular bags. The invention may also provide a belt-mounted stair guide mechanism to assist a user maneuver an adjustable cart up stairs, or other irregular elevated surfaces.

A cart includes a chassis and attached wheels; an upper basket attached to the chassis; and a lower basket attached to the chassis. In some embodiments, the cart includes no widthwise push bar in a rear of the cart such that access is unobstructed to the upper and lower baskets from the rear of the cart by a person. In some embodiments, the chassis defines on each lateral side of the cart a pair of vertically spaced handles, each handle surrounding and defining an opening. The handles preferably include handle bars shaped in an oval. On each cart side a curved elongate member extends between and connects the handles, and the curved elongate members represent the rearmost part of the cart. The rear area of the upper basket defines a seat for an infant, and a rear ledge of the lower basket defines a seat for a toddler.

A lockable cover panel for a shopping cart and a shopping cart comprising the same is disclosed. The shopping cart can comprise a frame, a plurality of wheels, and a main compartment. The shopping cart can further comprise a collapsible secondary compartment comprising a first panel and a lower panel and defining a top opening. A cover panel can pivotably attach to the first panel and extend across the top opening.

Disclosed herein relates to a system, comprising: at least one load receiver mounted on a shopping cart or basket and configured to receive an item placed into the shopping cart or basket for a weighing operation; a plurality of sensors configured to detect a plurality of parameters relating to the weighing operation of the item including at least one of: a relative angle between a force sensing axis of the at least one load receiver and a direction of gravity, a motion of the shopping cart or basket, and an ambient temperature surrounding the shopping cart or basket and the at least one load receiver; and a processor configured to determine an actual weight of the item based on at least a portion of the plurality of parameters.

A trolley arrangement is provided comprising a chassis from which a plurality of upwardly extending, rear support posts extend. An upper support frame is fitted to, and extends away from, the rear support posts, the upper support frame being fitted along the length of the support posts so that upper portions of the support posts extend upwardly, so as to protrude, from the upper support frame, the upper support frame comprising a peripheral bar component. A basket can be secured to the upper portions of the support posts, the basket being supported on top of the upper support frame once assembled. The basket comprises a corresponding plurality of elongate corner side wails that are arranged to be adjacent the upwardly extending support posts so that each post is arranged to abut against one of the upwardly extending corner side walls in use.

While smart shopping carts can improve shopping experiences, they are expensive. Accordingly, an intelligent electronic shopping system is disclosed that enables any standard shopping cart to be converted into a smart shopping cart. Disclosed embodiments facilitate the fulfillment of multiple orders at once by personal shopper/delivery driver (PSDD) workers by providing, for example, order segregation, specific navigational instructions for a shopping trip, intelligent weighing systems, and/or easy checkout that avoids checkout lines.

Consumer wagons are provided for carrying seated children and/or household cargo. In some embodiments, the wagons have a footwell for children carried in the wagon to place/rest their feet, and the footwell is repositionable between use position lowered relative to the wagon base and a collapsed/storage position closer to the wagon base. And in some embodiments, the wagons have a pull-handle that can be moved between different positions and that is lockable in multiple of the different positions.

The invention relates to a push handle unit having at least one transverse strut and having two end pieces which in the assembled state are arranged at the ends of the transverse strut and have a device for fastening to a manually movable transport trolley, wherein the push handle unit has a free-standing, projecting gripping unit on each of the two end pieces. The gripping unit consists in each case at least of a gripping unit receptacle and of a gripping unit insert, and a gripping unit is formed on each end piece. The invention further relates to a manually movable transport trolley having such a push handle unit.
