Description

Shopping cart

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a basket for the purchase intended as its own name indicates to make the buy in supermarkets and large stores, being of the type of those constituted by a receptacle or hollow body provided with a handle minor for manual transport supporting the entire weight of the user, since in this case the basket is not in contact with the ground also incorporating a second larger handle for facilitate its movement on the ground with the help of small ones wheels located at the base of the basket.

Starting from this premise, the object of the invention is to simplify the basket and improve relative aspects to the comfort of transport and simplicity of manufacture, especially in relation to the larger handle.

Background of the invention

Baskets are currently known purchase, among which those that incorporate wheels to facilitate its transport on the ground with the help of a larger handle which in its folded position adapts to the receptacle where they are located the products of the purchase.

On the other hand, the basket usually also incorporates in some cases a second minor handle to transport the basket pending the user's hand, supporting in this case this all The weight of the purchase.

The invention patent with number of US publication 1689448 consists of a truncated pyramid basket of rectangular base, which has two rear wheels and a small one leg that like the rear wheels rest on the ground. It incorporates a larger U-shaped handle that articulates by its ends in upper end areas of the side walls larger than the basket receptacle. It also incorporates a second U-shaped minor handle that joins in opposite areas of the larger walls of the receptacle in correspondence with its mouthpiece.

The document with publication number in Spain ES 2266762 refers to a shopping cart basket that like that the previous document comprises a truncated pyramidal receptacle with wheels at its base, also including a larger handle in the form of "U" 3 that articulates at its ends in an upper area of the major side walls in proximity to the mouth. It also includes a pair of 6 smaller "U" shaped handles that it also articulates at its ends in opposite points of the mouth in correspondence with the side walls greater.

Both handles support each other in the  folded position, in some seats, exterior and interior, established at the mouth. It should be noted that the outer seat affects only one of the minor sides of the mouth where will support the crossbar of the major handle.

Utility model No. 200501620 refers to a basket with wheels that starts from an initial structure like the described above, incorporating a major and a minor handle, characterized in its first claim because the greater handle It consists of a frame-shaped piece that defines a contour closed at its perimeter, one of whose minor sides articulates at a single point on one of the smaller faces of the basket 1.

Utility model No. 200502158 refers to an articulation device of a handle of a shopping basket which is basically an improvement of the previous utility model nº 200501620

Utility model nº 200800133 consists of a perfected shopping basket characterized by its first claim for owning a shooter that protrudes from Any type of conventional handle.

Description of the invention

The shopping cart that is the object of the invention comprises in principle a hollow main body constitutive of the basket itself with a configuration rectangular base truncated pyramid with wheels for facilitate its transport on the ground when pulling a handle larger coupled at two facing points of articulation arranged in correspondence with the mouth of the main body.

It should be noted and remember that this same general provision described already included in principle the patent of expired invention cited in the background with number of Publication US 1689448.

Starting from this premise the basket of the invention is characterized in that the major handle comprises a open rectangular frame structure, one of whose smaller sides it lacks a central section that separates two extreme portions that they end in two opposite terminal pivots that articulate in complementary holes established in correspondence with one of the characteristic curved minor edges of the mouth of the main body.

The aforementioned open framework could present Any other suitable configuration.

In turn, the minor edge curved and curved of the mouth has characteristic lateral steps that define front walls where the gaps of articulation of the opposite terminal pivots of the handle higher.

Articulated coupling is characterized because  incorporates an axial anchor that is achieved by elastic jump and also because it has a limitation of dejection between a deployed position of maximum dejection and a folded position which coincides with the support of said greater handle on a seat of the mouth where said major handle rests in the folded position.

The use position for pulling the major handle  holding it by hand, it is an unfolded position that does not reach The maximum position displayed.

On the other hand it should be noted that the address of the joints of the major handle is perpendicular to the edges older than the mouth of the main body.

This described arrangement hides the connections articulated of the greater handle with respect to the main body, there is a low risk of receiving blows while using the basket.

Another feature of the invention is the incorporation of a piece inserted in one side of the mouth of the hollow main body, part intended to support a label electronic identification and reading.

Finally it should be noted that the basket can also incorporate a second minor handle that articulates in two points facing two opposite edges of the mouth of the body principal.

Next to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and being an integral part of the same, some figures are accompanied in which with character illustrative and not limiting the object of the invention.

Description of the preferred embodiment

Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the shopping cart is determined from a body  main hollow 1 with a rectangular base 2, in which it engages small wheels 3.

The main body 1 has a mouth rectangular, whose smaller sides have a curvature  out, so that at least one of them has some lateral steps 4 where front walls are defined previous 5 affected by some through holes 6 that start articulation holes 7 of a larger handle 8 of the basket.

To that end, this larger handle 8 comprises an open rectangular frame structure, one of whose minor sides lacks a central branch that separates two end portions 9 that end in two facing end pivots 10 that articulate in the complementary articulation holes 7 established in correspondence with one of the characteristic curved minor edges of the mouth of the main body 1 as mentioned above-
mind.

The cited end portions 9 form a obtuse angle relative to the contiguous major side of the major handle one.

The articulation gap 7 begins in the first  through hole 6 of the front front wall 5 and ends in another second through hole 11 established in a front wall rear 12, adjusting in this second through hole 11 by elastic jump a cylindrical narrowing 13 where a conical appendix 14 formed by two parts separated by a groove axial 15 allowing deformation of said conical appendix 14 to fit the terminal pivots 10 by elastic jump.

In turn, the start of pivots 10 incorporates an initial cylindrical portion 16 that fits in the first through hole 6 of the front front wall 5.

The terminal pivots 10 also incorporate a radial shoulder 17 that limits the rotation of the major handle 8 between its positions, folded and unfolded. To do this, said radial protrusion 17 contact one of the two end stops 18 or 19 established inside the joint gap 7.

The first through hole 6 of the front wall  previous 5 incorporates a recess 20 to allow the passage of radial projection 17 in the central part of the articulation gap 7. In addition, it should be noted that the central section of the terminal pivots 10 presents a cross-shaped section of one of whose branches start the radial shoulder 17.

The mouth of the main body 1 incorporates a perimeter seat 21 interrupted in the area of the minor side of such mouthpiece where the articulated coupling of the major handle 8, seat whose ends match the lateral steps 4. On said seat 21 the handle will rest greater 8 in the folded position.

At the mouth of the main body 1, insert a piece 22 intended to support a label electronic identification and reading, and also to prevent robberies, and may also be used for other functions.

The basket also incorporates a second handle 23 which  articulates at two opposite points of two opposite edges of the main body mouth 1.
