Is smaller than the width of the part and is formed so that nesting can be performed from the rear, and the support legs 3 with the casters 2, 2, 2, 2 attached to the lower part, and both sides of the support legs 3 toward the rear side. The side wall member 5 to which the handle 4 is attached at the tip end portion attached so as to project upward, the infant chair 6 attached to the side wall member 5, and the front side of the supporting leg 3 or the side wall member 5 when nesting. The back of the shopping cart 7 is rotatably mounted by the infant chair 6 and is biased by a biasing spring (not shown) so that it can be automatically used when the nesting is released. The lean 8 and the upper shopping basket support shelf 11 in which the tip end supporting the shopping basket 10 attached to the side wall member 5 is inclined upward, and the tip end turns to a portion near the rear end of the support leg 3. The lower shopping basket support shelf 13 is movably pivotally supported and has a stopper portion 12 formed at a tip portion inclined downward to have a width gradually decreasing.

Reference numeral 14 is a lock device attached to the handle 4 portion of the shopping cart body 1. The lock device 14 includes a fixed body 15 fixed to the handle 4 as shown in FIGS. It is configured based on a locking device body 17 including a cover body 16 fixed to the body 15.

The fixed body 15 is fixed to the handle 4 with two screws 18 and 18. The handle insertion hole 19 into which the handle 4 is inserted and the cover body 16 are engaged with each other. Grooves 20, 20 are formed.

The cover body 16 has engagement pieces 21 and 21 slidably engaged with the engagement grooves 20 and 20 of the fixed body 15 and has a lateral side opening to the first eye surface. A lock release lever insertion hole 22 and a lock release piece insertion hole 23 opening on the upper surface in a direction orthogonal to the lock release lever insertion hole 22 are formed.

Reference numeral 24 denotes a lock release lever slidably housed in the lock release lever insertion hole 22. The lock release lever 24 is attached to the inner bottom portion of the lock release lever insertion hole 22. The unlocking lever main body 26 is formed in a plate shape and is always biased in a direction projecting outward by the biasing spring 25, and the cover body which is a rear end portion of the unlocking lever main body 26. The operation piece 27 formed at the end portion projecting from one side surface of 16 and a coin 28 of 100 yen or the like is stored on the front surface of the unlock lever body 26 on the operation piece 27 side so as to project upward by a predetermined amount. The coin accommodating concave portion 29 formed so that the lock release lever body 26 is pushed into the lock release lever body 26 at the lower rear portion of the lock release lever body 26, and the lock release piece insertion hole is formed. 23, an engaging recess 30 formed at a deeper portion of 23, an engaging recess 31 for preventing unauthorized release formed adjacent to the front of the engaging recess 30, and an engaging release preventing engagement. It comprises a blocking piece 32 formed substantially in the center of a portion corresponding to the recess 31, and a locking piece locking recess 33 formed on the upper surface of the center of the back surface of the unlocking lever main body 26.

Reference numeral 34 is a locking piece storage hole formed in the cover body 16 so as to open on the upper surface near the opening end of the unlock lever insertion hole 22 of the cover body 16. A locking piece supporting protrusion 35 is formed in the accommodation hole 34, and the locking piece supporting protrusion 35 is laterally urged in the engaging direction by a constant spring 36 that engages and disengages with the locking piece locking recess 33. A letter-shaped locking piece 37 is attached. The locking piece 37 is pushed by the coin 28 housed in the coin housing recess 29 of the unlock lever 24 into the engagement releasing direction by being pierced by the urging force of the spring 36.

Numeral 38 is constantly protruded by a spring 39 to a lower position of the lock releasing piece insertion hole 23 of the cover body 16 at a deeper position of the lock releasing lever inserting hole 22, and an engaging concave portion of the lock releasing lever 24. The lock piece engages with the engaging recessed portion 30 for preventing unauthorized release.

Reference numeral 40 is a key anchor attached between the cover body 16 and the solid body 15 by a stopper pin 41, and a hook 43 of the key anchor 40 has a chain 43 as a string. Is removably attached.

Reference numeral 44 denotes a lock release piece that is inserted into the lock release piece insertion hole 23 attached to the tip end of the chain 43 as the string and presses the lock piece 38 in the release direction. A notch portion 45 into which the blocking piece 32 is inserted is formed at a portion near the tip of 44. The chain 43 serving as the string is a lock release piece 44, and is formed to have a length such that the lock release piece insertion hole 23 to which the lock release piece 44 is attached cannot be properly inserted.

The shopping cart 7 having the above-described structure stores a coin 28 of 100 yen or the like set in the coin storage recess 29 of the unlock lever 24 and locks the unlock lever 24 into the unlock lever insertion hole 22. When pushed in, the coin 28 projecting upward from the unlock lever body 26 pushes up the locking piece 37 against the biasing force of the spring 39, and locks it with the locking piece locking recess 33. The state is released, and the lock piece 38 is pushed all the way in, the lock piece 38 engages with the engagement recess 30, and the blocking piece 32 disengages from the notch 45 of the lock release piece 44. Therefore, the unlocking piece 44 is released and can be removed from the unlocking piece insertion hole 23, and the shopping cart 7 can be pulled out and used.

When using the shopping cart 7 for storage, the front of the shopping cart 7 to be stored is pushed behind the stored shopping cart 7 for nesting. Then, by pushing the front lock release piece 44 into the lock release piece insertion hole 23, the lock piece 38 is pressed, the lock state of the lock release lever 24 is released, and the lock release lever 25 releases the lock release lever 24. -24 is projected, and the coin 28 can be taken out from the coin storage portion 29.

If a member other than the lock release piece 44 is pushed into the lock release piece insertion hole 23 and the lock piece 38 is illegally released, even if the lock piece 38 is pushed down to release the engagement with the engagement concave portion 30, the lock release piece is released. The blocking piece 32 enters the piece insertion hole 23, the locking piece 38 engages with the engaging recess 31 for preventing illegal release, and the movement of the unlock lever 24 in the unlocking direction is blocked, so that the coin storage The coin 28 cannot be taken out from the portion 29.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 13 to 17 will be described. In the description of these different embodiments of the present invention, the same components as those of the first embodiment of the present invention will be designated by the same reference numerals, and the duplicated description will be omitted.

The second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 13 to 15 is mainly different from the first embodiment of the present invention in that a belt 46 is used as a cord. Even with the shopping cart 7A using the structured locking device 14A, the same operational effect as that of the first embodiment of the present invention can be obtained.

The third embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 is mainly different from the first embodiment of the present invention in that the lock device 14 is attached to the side surface of the handle 4. Even with the shop pink cart 7B constructed in this way, the same operational effects as those of the first embodiment of the present invention can be obtained.
