SHOPPING CART WITH DROP DOWN FRONT GATE
A shopping cart (1) having a forward rotating front gate (2) to allow a user to unload contents of a shopping cart from the front without having to reach over sides of a shopping cart, thereby avoiding potential back injuries. Side bumpers (4) prevent the front gate from rotating inward and holding tabs (6) on top of the front gate fit securely into slots (7) on the shopping cart to hold the front gate in a closed position while shopping.
STIFFENED NESTING SHOPPING CART
A nestable shopping cart includes an upright frame, an upper angle support and a pair of tie bars extending out from the upright frame. A tray is pivotally connected to the upright frame. The tray includes a utility position and a nested position. The tray includes a tapered front and at least one side. A slope plate is mounted to at least one side of the tray. In the nested position, the nestable shopping cart is nested with another nestable shopping cart, resulting in a nesting gap of about 11 inches between the shopping carts.

STACKABLE CARTS WITH ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND SPACER FOR STACKABLE CARTS
A cart has a wheeled base unit with a first frame portion on one side and a second frame portion on another. The frame portions are coupled by a frontend part. A handle unit connects the frame portions at a backside of the cart and also connects the base unit to a basket. An inner frame portion is between the frame portions and extends to the frontend part of the base unit. The inner frame portion includes a front contact portion and a stopper portion. A spacer portion is attached to the inner frame portion closer to the backside of the base unit than the stopper portion. The spacer portion is positioned to contact a front contact portion of another cart when carts are nested. A coupling portion is sandwiched between the inner frame portion and a frontend part of another cart when carts are nested.
