The nestable shopping cart may further include one or more casters configured to be removably attached to the upright frame, the one or more casters comprising a stem comprising a shape directionally aligned with a first opening of the upright frame.

Mobile battery powered workstation carts for order fulfillment are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a battery powered workstation cart may comprise a wheeled cart having a frame, a rechargeable lithium battery, a computer, a barcode reader/scanner, a RFID reader/scanner, a printer, an artificial intelligence hub, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and/or GPS. The frame may also comprise two side bracket arms and/or shelves, which may be modular to receive various different sized baskets, bins, or totes therein to expedite retail order fulfillment.

A cart includes a frame, a holding portion supported by the frame and in which a product is stored, a lifting unit configured to raise and lower the holding portion, an imaging device directed towards an inside of the holding portion, and a controller. The controller is configured to acquire an image of a product captured by the imaging device, determine whether the product has been continuously imaged by the imaging device over a predetermined time period, and upon determining that the product has been imaged over the predetermined time period, control the lifting unit to lower the holding portion.

A shopping cart sterilization system is provided comprising a sealable chamber with front and rear doors and a plurality of light arrays inside the chamber. The arrays comprise at least two horizontal fixtures attached along horizontal edges and at least one ultraviolet light bulb in each fixture for directing ultraviolet light at a cart in the chamber. The system also comprises a motor with pulleys and cables to move the arrays proximate and away from the cart. The system moves the light arrays proximate outer surfaces of the cart. Arrays are arranged in a basket arrangement for lowering into an internal area of the cart. Arrays are moved proximate a handle, a child seat, and wheels of the cart.

A baby high chair liner includes a single and unitary body including a plurality of panels integrally and monolithically coupled to each other, a plurality of fold over tabs integrally and monolithically coupled to the panels respectively, a plurality of lines of weakness disposed at associated conjoining edges of the panels and the fold over tabs such that the fold over tabs are freely pivotally about the lines of weakness, respectively, and a plurality of fasteners connected to the fold over panels, respectively. The fasteners are configured to detachably secure the fold over panels to the existing baby high chair. The panels and the fold over tabs are configured to secure and cover a major seat surface area of an existing baby high chair and thereby provide a protective barrier between a child and the existing baby high chair.

A cart POS control board according to an embodiment includes a storing unit and a control unit. The storing unit stores, in association with each other, identification information of a battery that may receive power supply and setting concerning control for the battery. If identification information of the battery acquired by an acquiring unit is stored in the storing unit, the control unit controls the battery according to setting associated with the identification information.

In an example implementation, a smart cart system may include a cart including a frame and an item holder supported by the frame and configured to transition between an open position and a storage position that is more compact than the open position. The smart cart system may include a motivator configured to provide a motive force to the cart, a power source coupled with the motivator, and a charging interface attached to the frame of the cart and that interacts with a cart charging system of a cart storage rack to charge the power source. The smart cart system may also include a user interface device, a computing device, and a smart cart controller operable on the computing device to receive information describing an attribute of an item and provide information describing the attribute of the item for presentation by the user interface device.

Disclosed is a charging connector for a trolley having a power storage module, including a body carrying a circuit and a first electrode plate and a second electrode plate provided at two ends of the body respectively, the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate being electrically connected through the circuit and the first electrode plate or the second electrode plate having an elastic arch portion with a variable arch height. The charging connector can keep the elastic contact between the second electrode of a front charging connector and the first electrode of a rear charging connector during front-back series connection, eliminating the defect that the current charging connector has bad contact. The trolley with the connector can be charged reliably and the power energy can be used to a peripheral device onboard the trolley. Such a multimedia trolley does not need repeated manual checking.

A method or a system, automatically and electronically ensures that customer pays for all goods picked up and the customer takes out of the shop only goods paid for. All this is done without the need of a shop teller and finally without the need of a shop supervisor to periodically crosscheck and ensure that the total amount of money collected by the shop teller (within a period) equals the total value of goods disbursed. The resultant of this system are the shop runs can run a totally cashless shop; reduce human resource by a significant percentage; shop can be opened 24/7; no more queues at shop teller points even during peak periods or major sales.
