DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shopping basket often used in large stores and the like, and more particularly to a shopping basket in which a handle is easily grasped.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 2, a conventional shopping basket has a handle mounting portion 3 provided integrally with a basket 1 at a position facing an upper edge 2 of the basket 1, and a shaft hole 4 of the handle mounting portion 3. , And a handle 5 rotatably hung.

[0003]

In the conventional shopping basket constructed as described above, when the handle is folded down, the handle comes into close contact with the entire upper edge of the basket, making it difficult to pick up the handles of the stacked baskets. There were drawbacks.

[0004] In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a shopping basket in which a handle of a top basket stacked is raised to facilitate picking up.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to a cage 1, a mounting portion 3 for two handles 5 integrally provided at a position facing an upper edge 2 of the basket 1, and In a shopping basket composed of two handles 5 rotatably hooked into the shaft hole 4 of the mounting portion 3, both ends of a pot-bottomed linear spring or leaf spring S linked in the middle are connected to the handles 5 The link R portion is configured to penetrate through the upper edge 2 and to be positioned behind the upper edge 2 with a gap.

According to the present invention constructed as described above, the handle 5 is lifted from the upper edge 2 to be easily picked up by the action of the pot bottom-shaped wire / leaf spring S, and when the shopping baskets 1 are stacked, the handle 5 is stacked. Is pressed down and closely adhered to the upper edge 2 to be stacked low.

In the state where the handle 5 is pressed, the link R portion of the pot-shaped wire (or plate) spring S contacts the upper edge 2 and is prevented from moving, and the repulsive force generated thereby is reduced. 5 will work in a direction to make it float.

[0008]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 2, two handle mounting portions 3 provided with a shaft hole 4 are provided integrally with each other at a position facing the upper edge 2 of the shopping basket 1, and the handle 5 is rotatable in the shaft hole 4.
Are fitted on each other.

The both ends of the pot bottom-shaped wire (or plate) spring S linked in the middle are inserted into the hook fitting portion of the handle 5 so as to pass through the rotating shaft 6.
The portion penetrates the upper edge 2 and is located behind the upper edge 2 with a gap.

The shopping basket handle 5 as described above
Is lifted from the upper edge 2 of the basket 1 by the repulsive force of the pot bottom-shaped wire (or plate) spring S linked in the middle, so that the handle 5 can be easily grasped.

When the baskets 1 are stacked and the handle is pressed down, the link R of the pot-shaped wire (or plate) spring S moves upward, contacts the back side of the upper edge, and does not move any further. Maintain the bent state.

Since the pot-shaped wire (or plate) spring S is linked with the link R, when one handle is pressed, the other handle is also held down until the link R portion contacts the back side of the upper edge 2. And the baskets 1 are stacked smoothly.

When the stacked baskets are removed, the handle of the basket below the stacked baskets is lifted up by the action of the pot bottom-shaped wire (or plate) spring S, and becomes ready to be picked up.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the handles of the shopping baskets stacked at the entrance of the large store can be lifted up and picked up only at the top, and the shopping baskets below it can be easily picked up. The handles are held down by the weight of the shopping basket and closely stacked on the upper edge, and stacked low, and when one handle is held down, the other handle also moves in the same direction,
Baskets can be stacked smoothly.
