Definitions

  • the present invention relates to shopping trolleys and, in particular, to a folding shopping trolley adapted to carry shopping bags, baskets, containers and the like
  • the genesis of the present invention is a desire to enable shoppers to use their own trolley for grocery shopping which can be transported to and from the supermarket or the like.
  • a foldable shopping trolley having a frame adapted to be folded into a size suitable for transportation in a motor vehicle, said frame when in an erect configuration having a lower frame portion with ground engaging wheels attached thereto, an upper frame portion having a handle means and being adapted to have basket, container, bag or the like suspended therefrom, and a structural frame portion connecting between the lower and upper frame portions, wherein said upper frame portion includes a lowering mechanism means adapted to lower said basket, container, bag or the like into motor vehicle boot or the like where said basket, container, bag or the like can be detached from said upper frame portion, and said frame being able to be folded into a compact configuration whereby the lower, upper and structural frame portions are substantially aligned in a parallel arrangement.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a shopping trolley of the preferred embodiment shown in an erect configuration with shopping bag suspended therefrom,
  • Figs. 2 to 5 are side views of the shopping trolley of Fig. 1 showing the sequence of steps of placing the shopping bag into the boot of the motor vehicle
  • Figs. 6 to 8 are side views of the shopping trolley of Fig. 1 shown with the shopping bag removed therefrom and showing the sequence of steps of folding the trolley into a collapsed configuration.
  • a foldable shopping trolley 10 is shown in its erect use configuration.
  • the trolley 10 has a frame 11 from which a cloth shopping bag 12 is detachably suspended therefrom.
  • the cloth shopping bag 12 is the preferred method of carrying the grocery items as it is thought that such use of cloth bags is environmentally friendly, however, the use of metal baskets, plastics containers and other forms of containers or bags is within the scope of the present invention.
  • the frame 11 of the trolley 10 has two parallel sides 13 spaced apart by cross members (described later) between which the shopping bag 12 is suspended within the two sides 13 of the frame 11.
  • the frame 11 has a lower frame member 14 in the form of a U-shaped bar with a strut 15 comiected between the two free ends thereof.
  • a pair of front castor wheels 16 is provided at the front whilst a pair of sets of stair climbing triple wheel sets 17 is provided at the rear of the lower frame member 14.
  • a pair of structural frame members 18 is pivotally connected by pins 19 to the lower frame member 14.
  • the structural frame members 18 are pivotally connected at their other end to an upper frame member 20 formed by a pair of parallel elongate arms 21 spaced apart.
  • the upper frame member 20 is substantially horizontal when in the erect configuration.
  • Each of the structural frame members 18 is formed by two elongate bars 24 pivotally connected intermediate their ends at a joint 25 which is spaced apart from the other joint 25 by a locking strut mechanism 26.
  • the ends of the bars 24 are pivotally connected to the lower and upper frame members 14 and 20 respectively, and as such are moveable from an open erect configuration to a closed folded configuration.

  • the rib 28 is sewn into the cloth fabric and is exposed at a number of apertures 30 whereby the shopping bag 12 is adapted to be held by hooks 31 on the arms 21.
  • the arms include a scissor type or pantograph extension 32 and are used to lower the shopping bag 12 by opening the scissor type extensions 32.
