Definitions
- the present invention relates to an auxiliary trolley to be used for collecting shopping articles while using a dolly for a crate, wherein the auxiliary trolley
- - comprises a bottom side, an upper side, a front side and a rear side
- - comprises arms projecting from at least one side selected from the front side and the rear side, for accommodating the dolly for a crate between the two arms, in order to take along said dolly for a crate;
- auxiliary trolley comprises a frame, which frame
- base frame section comprises a first frame part and a second frame part, which frame parts are two parallel frame parts that are connected to each other, wherein
- each frame part is provided with at least two wheels, of which at least two wheels at least one wheel is a caster wheel, and
- the wheels of the first frame part and the second frame part define a wheel base
- - comprises a superstructure frame section for pushing the auxiliary trolley ahead
- a frame section selected from the base frame section and the super structure frame section comprises the said arms.
- Delivering shopping is getting more and more popular.
- Customers can place their order through the internet and a shop assistant collects the shopping articles from the shelves in the shop, such as a supermarket. Because the shopping articles can be scanned using a (portable) scanner, there is no need to empty the crate at the checkout and to put the shopping articles back into the crate again. This saves time.
- a dolly for a crate is a platform provided with wheels, wherein the platform is configured to carry a crate or a stack of crates .
- the outer circumference of the platform of the dolly is not substantially larger than the crate in order to limit the amount of space it takes up. This is particularly important during transport in the vehicle, also for properly shoring up the cargo.
- a dolly usually comprises an upright edge extending along the circumference, for instance in the form of a strip of metal or plastic, which projects from the platform on which the crate can rest in order to act as a stop for the crate to prevent it from getting off the dolly.
- the stop for counteracting the shifting of the crate in case of a stack of crates, the lowermost crate
- the upright edge in general projects less than 10 cm from the platform, that means it remains below the upper edge of a crate placed on the platform.
- a drawback of the known auxiliary trolley is that such auxiliary trolleys take up a lot of space during transport and/or storage.
- an auxiliary trolley according to the preamble is characterized in that an auxiliary trolley according to the preamble is characterized in that the superstructure frame section, at least on its side facing the base frame section, has a width that at the most equals the distance between the first frame part and the second frame part, and the two parallel frame parts of the base frame section are configured for accommodating an identical auxiliary trolley in between them .
- the two parallel frame parts will be connected to each other by means of a connecting frame part.
- the two parallel frame parts provide the arms, that means the dolly for the crate is partially accommodated between the two parallel frame parts, but it is feasible that the
- superstructure frame section provides the arms.
- each of the first and second frame part of the auxiliary trolley will comprise a support surface on which the wheels of the further auxiliary trolley can be placed.
- Said support surface for instance has the form of a plate.
- the support surface may comprise recesses in which at least one wheel of the two wheels of a frame part of a further auxiliary trolley placed thereon can partially be received. In that way, it is achieved that the further auxiliary trolley cannot shift relative to the auxiliary trolley.
- a stop for a wheel of the further auxiliary trolley can also be provided, which stop extends from the support surface, away from the wheel base.
- the superstructure frame section in general comprises a handle .
- each of the two parallel frame parts of the base frame section comprises a profile having a first profile section parallel to the wheel base and a second profile section extending in the longitudinal direction of the auxiliary trolley transverse to the first profile section and away from the wheel base.
- the parallel frame parts each have the shape of a U-profile.
- the first profile sections of the parallel frame parts each at least comprise a recess for partially accommodating wheels of the further base frame section.
- the stack thus takes up less space.
- the wheels can furthermore be efficiently fixated. This can for instance be achieved by a
- the superstructure frame section is a detachable superstructure frame section.
- the superstructure frame section preferably can be assembled by insertion and can be detached again, thus requiring no tools.
- the base frame section comprises an element extending transverse to the wheel base, the element having a first end and a second end, wherein in stacked condition of two auxiliary trolleys the first end of one of the auxiliary trolley and the further auxiliary trolley are partially accommodated in the second end of the other auxiliary trolley, and the detachable superstructure frame section can be attached to the base frame section by the accommodation of one of i) the bottom side of the superstructure frame section and ii) the first end of the element is accommodated in i) the second end of the element and ii) the bottom side of the superstructure frame section, respectively.
- Such an auxiliary trolley can be stacked in an assembled
- the base frame sections can be stacked and because of accommodation of the first end of the element in the second end of the element, they will not shift relative to each other.
- the superstructure frame section therefore advantageously comprises two tubes.
- the superstructure frame section comprises posts extending at an angle of at the most 20 degrees to the normal to the wheel base.
- the angle will at least be 5 degrees.
- the arms are configured for accommodating the short side of the dolly for a crate.
- Such an auxiliary trolley can be narrow.
- the superstructure frame section is equipped with a push bar and the base frame section comprises a hook operable by the push bar in order to engage onto the n
- auxiliary trolley can easily be disassembled when it is desired to store, or such, the auxiliary trolley in an unassembled condition. Neither does assembling require tools.
- the hook for instance, is a hook which is retained in a first, relatively high position, by means of a spring, wherein the hook can be moved to a second, relatively low position, by means of the push bar, in which position a dolly for a crate is being released or coupled.

- the U-profiles are substantially parallel to the wheel base and provides a support surface 125 to a further auxiliary trolley 100' (see Fig. 2) .
- the superstructure frame section 130 has a width that is smaller than the length of the connection part 123.
- the bottom side of the superstructure frame section 130 fits between the parallel frame parts of a further auxiliary trolley 100' placed on the support surfaces 125.
- the wheels of the further auxiliary trolley 100' support on the support surfaces 125 of the auxiliary trolley 100 situated below it (Fig. 2) .
- the U-profiles of the frame parts are modified, so that at the ends where they provide the arms 110 that project from the front side, which at their distal ends provide a tapering recess 115 for easy accommodation of the dolly 190 for a crate, and are provided with stops 127, the role of which will be explained below.
- the parallel frame parts On the side of the auxiliary trolley 100 facing away from the recess 115, the parallel frame parts provide a further recess 116.
- auxiliary trolley 100 comprises posts 135 and a push bar
- the superstructure frame section 130 also comprises a work surface 133, and is provided with a handle 134 with which the auxiliary trolley 100 and thus the dolly 190 for a crate can be pushed ahead.
- Fig, IB and Fig. 1C show the same auxiliary trolley 100 in condition of use, wherein a dolly 190 for a crate is situated between the arms 110, in a perspective front view and a front view,

- a spare crate 192 is also shown, which after filling the crate 191 can be placed on the crate 191 and can subsequently also be filled.
- the whole of dolly 190 for a crate provided with two crates can then be placed somewhere, for instance in a vehicle for
- auxiliary trolley 100 will then be available once more for the collection of other shopping articles.
- Fig. 2 shows a stack of four auxiliary trolleys, wherein a further auxiliary trolley 100' is placed on an auxiliary trolley 100, in particular on its support surfaces 125 (Fig. 1A) .
- the lowermost ends of the superstructure frame section 130 are accommodated in the further recess 116.
- the upright profile sections 126 help preventing that a base frame section 120 of a base frame section situated below it shifts or rides .
- the stops 127 also help preventing that a base frame section 120 of a base frame section 120 situated below it shifts or rides.
- Fig. 3A to Fig. 3C show a perspective view, a side view and a front view, respectively, of the base frame section 120 of the auxiliary trolley 100 in further detail.
- the dolly 190 for a crate is coupled to the auxiliary trolley 100, which is advantageously done by means of a hook 221, which is able to engage behind the lower edge of a dolly 190 for a crate.
- the hook 221 is retained in a relatively high position by means of a spring 222.
- the push bar 131 is able to push against the hook 221 with its end, via a slot 223 in connection part 123, as a result of which the hook 221 is pushed to a second lower position and the dolly 190 for a crate is released.
