An accessory tray is connected to, or extends integrally from, a shopping cart handle and extends a limited distance forward from the handle. The tray extends forward above, but not significantly interfering with, the child-seat area of the cart. Preferably, the forward extremity is not directly connected or attached to the cart, but rather the tray is cantilevered from its rear end/edge fixed to/at the handle and extends otherwise unconnected forward from the handle. A forward tray portion may rest on, or be close to, an upper portion/end of the cart rear wall. The preferred tray is substantially planar, featuring a single, flat platform with an upending rim, wherein no part extends above said top level of the handle. The tray remains in place for nesting of multiple carts, and is received in a space between nested portions of the cart to which it is connected.

A shopping assembly includes a shopping cart and a support shelf. The shopping cart includes a basket and a handle. The basket includes a rear wall having a top end, and the handle is spaced from the top end of the rear wall defining a space between the handle and the top end of the rear wall. The support shelf includes a cuff and a platform. The cuff is wrapped at least partially around the handle of the shopping cart to couple the support shelf to the shopping cart. The platform is positioned below and extends forwardly relative to the cuff toward the rear wall of the shopping cart. The platform has a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface and rigidly extends between a front edge and a rear edge thereof. The cuff is positioned on a rear side of the rear edge of the platform.

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.

An electronic cart includes a frame, an electrically powered rotary motor, a rechargeable battery, and an electrical charging plug-in. The frame comprise a container with an open top end, a bottom end defining the floor, opposite side walls, and a rear wall with an opposite front wall. The container is foldable and has at least one wheel at the front. The frame has at least two wheels at the bottom thereof and a handlebar having control elements. The motor is mounted to the frame on which the container is provided. The motor is configured to drive at least one wheel provided on the frame and is operable and controllable by the handlebar control elements. The battery provides a power supply powering the motor. The battery is approximately attached to the frame. The plug-in is in communication with the battery for charging the battery.

A dynamic shopping cart is provided with collapsible walls. The shopping cart can either be used with the collapsible wall in place or in collapsed position. Disclosed is a personal shopping cart comprising: a) a platform with a front, a rear, a first side, a second side, and a top, the top of the platform defining a space for placing one or more items; b) three or more wheels for contacting the shopping cart with a ground; c) a first and a second post placed at the rear of the platform; d) a handle attached to the first post and the second post, a position of the handle defining the rear of the platform; e) a wall with four segments around the platform, with a rear wall segment, a first side wall segment, a second side wall segment, and a front wall segment, wherein the first side wall segment is pivotally attached to the first post, and the second side wall segment is pivotally attached to the second post, the first side and the second side wall segments configured to pivot towards the rear of the shopping cart, wherein the front wall segment is configured to be pivoted towards the platform so that the front wall segment rests on the platform; f) a first and a second bracket for attaching the first and the second a post to the platform, the first and the second post pivotally attached to the first and second bracket; wherein the shopping cart is collapsed by pivoting the first side wall segment, the second side wall segment, and the front wall segment, and then collapsing the shopping cart so that the first post and the second post pivot in relation to the bracket.

The present invention is an apparatus for installing attachments on handles. The invention includes first and second pieces with curved sections that form a generally cylindrical volume around the handle. The first and second pieces are rotatably connected about a hinge axis and may be moved to and from a locked position around handle. A flap having a toothed surface is connected to an end of the second piece, and a tooth extending from an end of the first piece can engage the toothed surface to inhibit inadvertent release of the apparatus from the handle.

A cart assembly suited for use in a variety of settings including a biomedical environment that includes a rear-located cord locker for organizing and hiding excess lengths of cords need to provide power to power strips on the cart and electronics that are placed on the cart. Also included are customizable panels easily placed on the sides and back of the cart, as well as on the drawer fronts, which are printable using sublimation printing such that the cart may include custom colors, signs, or labels.

A wheeled cart includes a structural frame having a left vertical support extending vertically from a bottom left end to a top left end. A right vertical support extends vertically from a bottom right end to a top right end. The left vertical support is disposed a frame width apart from the right vertical support. A bottom horizontal support connects the left and right vertical supports and extends forward horizontally having a U-shape. A rear end cross brace connects the bottom left and right ends. A plurality of wheels are rotatably attached to the structural frame. A basket is configured to attach to the structural frame. A handle is horizontally disposed extending between and attached to the top left end and the top right end of the structural frame. The structural frame is a monolithic injection molded plastic part.

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.
