The innovation concerns a shopping cart or one for the like Purposes of suitable transport trolleys on the one facing the direction of travel front end of the basket, but inside the basket itself, has a foldable shelf that is suitable for additional storage or storage of goods that are used by the rest of the Purchase items in the basket should remain separate.

Recently, some of these shopping carts have been made with foldable, or partially retractable, or swiveling shelves known, which, among other things, also in the German utility models GM 73 44 643 and GM 75 33 155 are described. At all The aim of this trolley is to store it in the basket itself or in a space-saving manner when it is not needed for shopping

to be placed outside the basket. It has now been shown that in these designs, for. B. the rigid part of a partial retractable shelf on the basket end wall acts as a nuisance or hindrance, or that to accommodate the shelf a vertical partition in the basket is required, or that simply the technical effort for such shelves Make the selling price of shopping carts uninteresting.

The innovation was therefore based on the task of developing a shopping cart with a shelf in which the Storage, this can be accommodated in a space-saving manner in the basket, that also stacking when the shelf is opened of empty shopping carts is possible and that the shelf is designed so that an economical production is possible will.

The solution to the problem is that one located inside the basket extends from the basket end wall towards the center of the basket extending, usually made of wire, foldable shelf has a shelf section rotatably mounted on the basket end wall has, which on both sides with straight, parallel to the basket side walls running, limited in length loops is equipped, through which a second shelf section with the shelf section mounted on the basket end wall via a Frame wire can be moved in both the longitudinal and the rotational direction is connected and that the striving for the basket interior second shelf section is rotatably mounted on the basket side walls,

This arrangement enables the equipped with a handle Fold the shelf from a space-saving rest position to the horizontal position of use and vice versa.

The innovation is explained on the basis of exemplary embodiments. Show it:

Fig. 1: A section through a shelf in the unfolded Status. (State of use)

Fig. 2: A section through the shelf with an incline upwards curved loop end.

Fig. 3: A plan view of a shelf.

In Fig. 1 one recognizes the shelf (i) consisting of a (first) shelf section (2) and a (second) shelf section (3). The storage section (2) is rotatably mounted on the cross wire (9) of the basket (7). The two frame wires (h) (cf. also FIG. 3) are designed in a loop-like manner at their end facing the inside of the basket. These loops (5) serve as guides for the frame wire (6) of the storage section (3). The frame wire (6) is in turn rotatably mounted on both sides of the basket side walls (8) in a bearing plate (12) that is firmly connected to the vertical wires (11) of the basket side wall (8). In order to achieve a reliable function, the perpendicular (18) of the center of the transverse

extending portion of the frame wire (6) to be offset by the dimension a = from the pivot point of the bearing plates (12). A fishing at the protruding to the cage center end of the storage portion (3) mounted handle (13) enables the one hand a comfortable up and down flaps of the shelf (i), on the other hand, the handle is used (13) "hex position of use of the shelf (i) when Stop to prevent the goods on the shelf (i) from slipping. The handle (13) can be made of wire or plastic.

The shelf (i) in the folded-down position is shown in dash-dotted lines in FIG State drawn in. When stacking shopping trolleys namely, the to-be-driven carriage (17) hits with its forehead term basket end (io) to the shelf section (3) located in a horizontal position and causes an automatic collapse the storage sections (2) and (3) in a space-saving arrangement on the inside of the basket end wall (io).

Fig. 2 shows the illustration of an obliquely upwardly bent loop (V) of the storage section (2). This arrangement is then necessary if, for reasons of space, the condition a = 0 described in "Fig. 1" cannot be met, i.e. if the solder (18) the center point of the transverse section of the frame wire (6) within the area between the bearing plate (12) and cross wire (9) would come to rest. The fact that now this is the Ablagabschnitt (3) adjacent © end of the loop (5 ') is bent obliquely upwards, the direction of the contact force F is as follows

By corresponding a kinking of the ends of the loops (5 ^? ) On both sides, as in Pig. 2 clearly shows that the transverse wires (i4) and thus the bearing surfaces of the storage sections (2) and (3) are brought to a common plane, which in turn proves to be advantageous for the goods to be placed on them.

Flg. Finally, FIG. 3 shows, in a supplementary manner, a top view of a shelf (1) built into a basket (7) of a shopping trolley. One can clearly see the interlocking of the frame wires (k) of the storage section (2) with the frame wire (6) of the storage section (3). In order to enable the shelf sections (2) and (3) to fold into one another without interference, the shelf section (3) also has an intermediate space (15) through which the protruding middle piece (16) of the shelf section (2) is passed when the two shelf sections are folded into one another.
