A versatile cover is described which can be secured onto a shopping cart, high chair, stroller or other similar seating apparatus. The cover is rollable into a low profile, shape with a handle, and can be unrolled to fit within a seat basket of a shopping cart or high chair.

One embodiment of the invention provides a cart comprising a frame with casters underneath and sockets located above the casters with longitudinal grooves for receiving and locating uprights formed from square tubing. The frame of the cart provides storage for unused tubing in a way that forms a load-bearing surface for the cart. In one embodiment two carts can be connected side by side by square tubing to accommodate large loads.

Some embodiments are directed to a hand grip for wrapping around a handlebar. The hand grip includes a first elongated coupling member, a second elongated coupling member, and a cover arranged between the first elongated coupling member and the second elongated coupling member. The first and/or second elongated coupling member include one or more protrusions arranged to be inserted into one or more holes or recesses of the bar. The hand grip can easily be attached to for example a handlebar of a baby stroller, and can easily be removed.

A mobility platform is disclosed for a shopping cart. The mobility platform comprises a platform having an upper surface, a lower surface, a front edge, a rear edge, a primary side and a secondary side. A connector is secured to the platform. The lower surface of the platform abuts the cart handle and the connector engages the cart handle for defining a platform lock and terminating displacement of the platform relative to the shopping cart. A deformable layer is coupled to the upper surface of the platform for cushioning contact between the platform and the individual. The deformable layer engages the individual for defining a cart crutch. The cart crutch assists the individual by transferring weight of the individual to the cart and improving the balance of the individual while in contact with the deformable layer.

A hook attachment for an IV stand. The attachment has hooks attached to at least one longitudinally extending portion. The hooks are configured to position bags such that their labels are each visible from the same side of the hook attachment. The hooks may include first and second hooks coupled to first and second longitudinally extending portions, respectively. The first and second hooks are configured to have first and second bags, respectively, hung therefrom. The first and second longitudinally extending portions are sufficiently spaced apart vertically to allow the labels of the first and second bags to be visible. The hooks may include front and rear hooks connected to a longitudinally extending body portion. The front and rear hooks have first and second portions, respectively, whereat front and rear bags, respectively, are positioned when hung therefrom. The first portions are below the second portions.

A sterilization mechanism for a shopping cart is described. The shopping cart includes a frame, a basket portion mounted to the frame, and a handle portion mounted to the frame and including a top and bottom section. The shopping cart includes a cleanliness sensor configured to detect a cleanliness level of the handle portion. The shopping cart includes a sterilization mechanism for killing microorganisms on the handle portion detachably mounted to the handle portion. The sterilization mechanism includes an ultraviolet light source disposed within the body of the sterilization mechanism and configured to be actuated into a light-emitting position when the cleanliness level is detected to be equal to or above a predetermined cleanliness threshold. In the light-emitting position, the ultraviolet light source is configured to emit ultraviolet light onto the handle portion to sterilize both the top and bottom sections of the handle portion from a mounted position.

A small container partitioned into two sectionsone for housing a pair of retractable cords and the other half for housing a packet containing sanitizing material. Each of the sections have empty spaces therein and are conjoined together via click-and-lock hinges. The empty spaces between two sections when conjoined, they together house the protective covering sleeve. With the method in operation, a user engages a cart handle by attaching the device thereto, and can detach the two sections from each other easily. The two sections when separated deploy the protective covering sleeve over the surface of the handle, providing a sanitary surface for the user to grip.

A shopping cart handle grip assembly includes a pair of tubular grips each being longitudinally split for positioning around a handle of a shopping cart. Each of the pair of tubular grips is comprised of a fluid impermeable material to inhibit bacteria from transferring between the handle of the shopping cart and a user's hands. A pair of cushions is each integrated into a respective one of the tubular grips to enhance comfort for the user. A rope is attached to and extends between the pair of tubular grips thereby inhibiting the pair of tubular grips from being separated from each other. The rope extends through the opening in the collar associated with each of the pair of tubular grips having the rope being bonded to the collar associated with each of the pair of tubular grips.

A base having legs supported on wheels. A second leg may be positioned between first and third legs and the first leg may be positioned between the second leg and a fourth leg. A first gap is positioned between the second and third legs, and a second gap is positioned between the fourth and first legs. The first and second gaps are configured to at least partially receive a user's first and second feet, respectively. A keyway with a bridge may be defined between the first and second legs. A key that may be formed in a fifth leg is removably receivable inside a like keyway of a like base to thereby interlock the bases together so that they are moveable as a unit. An end portion of the key is positionable underneath a like bridge of the like keyway such that the like bridge limits upward movement of the key.

A hook attachment for an IV stand. The attachment has hooks attached to at least one longitudinally extending portion. The hooks are configured to position bags such that their labels are each visible from the same side of the hook attachment. The hooks may include first and second hooks coupled to first and second longitudinally extending portions, respectively. The first and second hooks are configured to have first and second bags, respectively, hung therefrom. The first and second longitudinally extending portions are sufficiently spaced apart vertically to allow the labels of the first and second bags to be visible. The hooks may include front and rear hooks connected to a longitudinally extending body portion. The front and rear hooks have first and second portions, respectively, whereat front and rear bags, respectively, are positioned when hung therefrom. The first portions are below the second portions.
