Description
SHOPPING TROLLEY WIT~ SEAT FOR A CHILD OR BABY
The invention relates to shopping trolleys and more particularly to providing such trolleys with a seat suitable for a child or baby.
It is known to provide a shopping trolley with a seat for a child which is pivotable from a stored position in which it is folded up so as to be substantially flush with an end gate of the trolley - basket and a child receiving position in which it protrudes into the basket. The end gate may be provided with apertures through which the child's legs may extend. Such seats are not generally well suited to the transport of babies and are not particularly comfortable for a child. A further disadvantage of such seats is that in the child receiving position they diminish the load carrying capacity of the basket.
United Kingdom Patent No. 2275895 discloses a shopping trolley provided with a child seat suitable for babies or a child. A seat of monocoque construction is pivotally mounted to the trolley so as to be pivotable between two child receiving positions.
The seat is pivotally mounted at its front edge to a member which extends across the rear of the trolley adjacent the push-handle. A pivotable support member i CA 02212841 1997-08-13 is provided on the back of the child seat. The child seat can be supported against a fixed divider provided in the goods recei-ving basket either by direct engagement of the back of the seat with the divider or by use of the support member defining two child receiving positions. A disadvantage of this arrangement is that the trolley is not nestable.
Furthermore, it is necessary to provide a fixed divider in the goods receiving basket which may not ~ . .
lo always be desirable.
It is an object of the invention to at least partially overcome the above-described problems.
Accordingly, the invention provides a shopping trolley comprising at least one goods receiving basket and provided with a seat adapted to receive a child or baby, said seat being mounted to the shopping trolley at a rear end region thereof so as to be disposed externally of the or each said goods receiving basket ~--~- when in a child or baby receiving position and moveable from said child or baby receiving position in a forwards direction of the shopping trolley in response to insertion of a second shopping trolley into said rear end region for facilitating nesting of such shopping trolleys.
2S The invention includes a child or baby seat for a shopping trolley comprising at least one goods ,~ CA 02212841 1997-08-13 receiving basket, the seat comprising mounting means cooperably engageable with means provided therefor on such a trolley at a rear end region thereof such that the seat is moveable relative to the trolley from a child or baby receiving position in the forwards direction of the trolley.
In order that the invention may be well understood, some embodiments thereof, which are given by way of example only, will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a side view of a shopping trolley provided with a seat suitable for a child or baby;
Figure 2 is a perspective view from the rear of the shopping trolley showing the seat in detail;
Figure 3 is an enlarged view from the side of the shopping trolley showing the seat in a child receiving position;
Figure 4 is an enlarged view from the side of the ~-~ shopping trolley showing the position of the seat when the trolley is nested; and Figure 5 is a side view of another shopping trolley provided with an alternative seat suitable for a child or baby.
Figure 1 shows a shopping trolley 10 comprising two goods receiving baskets 12, 14. The trolley is provided with a seat 16 suitable for a child or baby.
,' CA 02212841 1997-08-13 The trolley further comprises a chassis 18 provided with an upper mounting means 20 and lower mounting means 22 for releasably mounting the baskets 12, 14 to the chassis. The chassis comprises two side members 24 which extend in the lengthwise direction of the trolley 10. The side members 24 are arranged in spaced apart relationship and are interconnected by a first cross-member 26 disposed at the leading end of the trolley and a second cross-member 28 disposed . .
--- 10 towards the rear of the trolley. Additionally the chassis 18 comprises two curved end members 30 and two web plates 32.
The end members 30 are arranged so as to be generally upright and are joined by means of welding to a respective side member 24. A web plate 32 interconnects each side member 24 and end member 30 in the region at which those members are joined to each other and serves to strengthen the joint between the -' two members.
A castor 34 is fixed to the leading end of each side member 24 and the lowermost end of each end member 30.
A generally U-shaped push-handle 36 which extends transversely of the trolley 10 is fitted to the uppermost end of each curved end member 30 by means of coupling sleeves 38.
The trolley 10 is provided with a supplementary load carrier 35 for carrying, for example, crates of beer. The load carrier 35 comprises a shelf-like structure which is slideable between a load carrying position and a non-use position. A suitable load carrier is described in the applicant's co-pending UK
patent application no. 9617215.0 (Agent's Ref: J.24081 GB) the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- 10 The seat 16 will now be described in detail with reference to Figures 2 to 4. The seat comprises a bottom support portion S0 and a back support portion 52. The back and bottom support portions 50, 52 are preferably each plastics mouldings.
The bottom support portion 50 and back support portion 52 are interconnected by a frame constructed of metal rods. The frame is provided with metal lugs (not shown) to which the back and bottom support portions are fixed by means of screws or rivets or the like. The frame comprises a generally U-shaped portion 54 which is fitted to the underside of the bottom support portion 50 with its free ends directed toward the front of the trolley. A generally rectangular frame portion S6 is fitted to the back support portion 52 and is connected to the free ends of the U-shaped portion 54 by means of welding.
, CA 02212841 1997-08-13 A support bar 58 extends from the rectangular frame portion 56 towards the front of the trolley.
The support bar 58 is formed of a length of rodding bent such that in plan it is generally U-shaped and when viewed from the side it has a hook-like or L-shaped form.
A support arm 60 extends from each side region of the bottom support portion S0. The arms 60 are connected at their lowermost ends to the U-shaped -- 10 frame portion 54. A respective sleeve 62 is fitted to the ends of the support arms disposed remote from the bottom support portion S0. The sleeves 62 extend transversely of the axis of the respective support arms 60.
Push bars 64 protrude from each side of the bottom support portion 54. The bars 64 are made from rodding bent around and welded to form a loop and fixed by means of welding to the U-shaped frame ; portion 54.
A child restraint bar 66 is fitted to a central location of U-shaped frame portion 54 and projects upwardly of the bottom support portion 50.
A lap strap (not shown) may be provided for securing a child or baby in the seat. It will be appreciated that such a strap can readily be fitted to the frame of the child seat as required.
The seat 16 is mounted to the trolley so as to be disposed to the rear of the goods receiving baskets 12, 14. An elongate member 70 which extends transversely of the trolley passes through the sleeves 62 and is secured at its ends to the push-handle 36.
The sleeves are sized such that the seat is freely rotatable about the member 70.
In the position shown in Figure 3, The support bar 58 abuts a cross-member of the upper goods ~- 10 receiving basket 12. The cooperable engagement between the support bar 58 and basket 12 limits rotation of the seat downwardly and rearwardly of the trolley and defines the child receiving position.
When the trolley 10 is not in use it can be nested with similar such trolleys. The baskets 12, 14 each have a pivotable rear end gate and tapering cross-section to allow nesting to occur in the conventional way well known to those skilled in the -- art.
. . . -When a second trolley 10 is to be nested with a first such trolley, it is pushed forwardly into the rear end of the first trolley so that its baskets 12, 14 pass between the chassis end members 30 of the first trolley. This brings the leading end of the upper basket 12 of the second trolley into contact with the push bars 64 of the child seat. As the second trolley is pushed into the first trolley against the push bars 64 its insertion causes the child seat 16 to move forwardly and upwardly of the first trolley to gradually clear the basket 12 of the second trolley. In the nested condition of the two trolleys shown in Figure 4, the seat has been rotated about the member 70 to a position in which it is substantially disposed above the push-handle 36 and upper basket 12 of the first trolley so that the io basket 12 of the second trolley can be received in the basket 12 of the first trolley.
When the second trolley 10 is removed from the first trolley 10, the child seat will automatically rotate about the member 70 downwardly and rearwardly of the first trolley until the support bar 58 is in abutting relationship with the basket 12 of the first trolley in which condition the seat is in position to receive a child or baby.
-~ Another shopping trolley 100 having two goods receiving baskets 112, 114 and provided with an alternative child seat 116 will now be described with reference to Figure 5. The trolley 100 corresponds substantially in configuration to the trolley 10 and accordingly its general construction will not be described in any detail herein.
The trolley 100 differs from the trolley 10 in that a different push-handle arrangement is provided.
A respective push-handle support bracket 200 is fitted to the upper end of each upright chassis member 130.
A push-bar (not shown) extends between the two support brackets 200.
The seat 116 comprises a generally rectangular bottom support portion 150 and a back support portion which is not visible in Figure 5. The seat is mounted to the rear of the goods receiving baskets 112, 114.
- io The bottom support portion 150 is carried by first arms 202 and second arms 204. A first arm 202 is pivotably attached to each of the two corners of the bottom support portion disposed adjacent to the upper goods receiving basket 112. The ends of the first arms 202 disposed remote from the support portion 150 rotatably engage a transverse rod member of the basket 112. A second arm 204 is pivotably attached to each of the two corners of the bottom -:. support portion disposed remote from the basket 112.
These two arms 204 are provided at their upper ends with sleeves which rotatably engage a transverse extending member which is fitted between the two chassis end members 130 immediately in front of the handle support brackèts 200.
The back support portion is disposed between and carried by the first arms 202.
In use, if a first trolley 100 is to be nested with a second such trolley, the first trolley is inserted between the chassis end members 130. As the upper goods receiving basket 112 is pushed between the chassis members 130 it pushes against the bottom support portion 150 of the seat 116. This causes the bottom support portion 150 to pivot towards the front of the trolley bringing it into engagement with the back support portion. As insertion of the second - 10 trolley continues the back and bottom support portions are pushed against a rear end gate of the first trolley basket 112 driving it open and allowing the upper basket 112 of the second trolley to be received therein. Thus in the same way as the seat 16 of the first embodiment the seat 116 is caused to move upwardly and forwardly of the first trolley to allow nesting to occur.
In the same way as the seat 16, when a second trolley 100 is taken out of nested relationship with a first trolley 100, the seat 116 will automatically return to the child receiving position shown in Figure 5. In the case of the seat 116, no stop means is provided for defining the child receiving position.
This position is simply the equilibrium position of the three bar linkage defined by the first arms 202, bottom support portion 150 and second arms 204 hanging from the chassis end members 130 and basket 112.
It will be understood that the seats of the embodiment have the advantage over the prior art seats of being disposed outside of the goods carrying space S of the goods receiving baskets of the trolley. It will also be appreciated that the seats are automatically moved away from the child receiving position to allow nesting of the trolleys by insertion of one trolley into a nested position in relation to another and that the child receiving position is automatically resumed when two such trolleys are pulled apart.
It will also be appreciated that the seats of the embodiments can readily be retrofitted to existing trolleys. It is only necessary to provide two mounting apertures either in the push-handle or chassis end members for the transverse mounting member and in the case of the child seat 116 to fit the first - ~ arms to the upper basket 112.
It is to be understood that it is not essential to provide a transverse mounting bar. Instead, for example, two mounting spigots could be provided for mounting either of the seats of the embodiments.
It will also be appreciated that in the embodiment it is possible to provide two seats 16 on the transverse member 70 and it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the provision of one such seat.

A generally U-shaped push-handle 36 which extends transversely of the trolley 10 is fitted to the uppermost end of each curved end member 30 by means of coupling sleeves 38.
The trolley 10 is provided with a supplementary load carrier 35 for carrying, for example, crates of beer. The load carrier 35 comprises a shelf-like structure which is slideable between a load carrying position and a non-use position. A suitable load carrier is described in the applicant's co-pending UK
patent application no. 9617215.0 (Agent's Ref: J.24081 GB) the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- 10 The seat 16 will now be described in detail with reference to Figures 2 to 4. The seat comprises a bottom support portion S0 and a back support portion 52. The back and bottom support portions 50, 52 are preferably each plastics mouldings.
The bottom support portion 50 and back support portion 52 are interconnected by a frame constructed of metal rods. The frame is provided with metal lugs (not shown) to which the back and bottom support portions are fixed by means of screws or rivets or the like. The frame comprises a generally U-shaped portion 54 which is fitted to the underside of the bottom support portion 50 with its free ends directed toward the front of the trolley. A generally rectangular frame portion S6 is fitted to the back support portion 52 and is connected to the free ends of the U-shaped portion 54 by means of welding.
, CA 02212841 1997-08-13 A support bar 58 extends from the rectangular frame portion 56 towards the front of the trolley.
The support bar 58 is formed of a length of rodding bent such that in plan it is generally U-shaped and when viewed from the side it has a hook-like or L-shaped form.
A support arm 60 extends from each side region of the bottom support portion S0. The arms 60 are connected at their lowermost ends to the U-shaped -- 10 frame portion 54. A respective sleeve 62 is fitted to the ends of the support arms disposed remote from the bottom support portion S0. The sleeves 62 extend transversely of the axis of the respective support arms 60.
Push bars 64 protrude from each side of the bottom support portion 54. The bars 64 are made from rodding bent around and welded to form a loop and fixed by means of welding to the U-shaped frame ; portion 54.
A child restraint bar 66 is fitted to a central location of U-shaped frame portion 54 and projects upwardly of the bottom support portion 50.
A lap strap (not shown) may be provided for securing a child or baby in the seat. It will be appreciated that such a strap can readily be fitted to the frame of the child seat as required.
The seat 16 is mounted to the trolley so as to be disposed to the rear of the goods receiving baskets 12, 14. An elongate member 70 which extends transversely of the trolley passes through the sleeves 62 and is secured at its ends to the push-handle 36.
The sleeves are sized such that the seat is freely rotatable about the member 70.
In the position shown in Figure 3, The support bar 58 abuts a cross-member of the upper goods ~- 10 receiving basket 12. The cooperable engagement between the support bar 58 and basket 12 limits rotation of the seat downwardly and rearwardly of the trolley and defines the child receiving position.
When the trolley 10 is not in use it can be nested with similar such trolleys. The baskets 12, 14 each have a pivotable rear end gate and tapering cross-section to allow nesting to occur in the conventional way well known to those skilled in the -- art.
. . . -When a second trolley 10 is to be nested with a first such trolley, it is pushed forwardly into the rear end of the first trolley so that its baskets 12, 14 pass between the chassis end members 30 of the first trolley. This brings the leading end of the upper basket 12 of the second trolley into contact with the push bars 64 of the child seat. As the second trolley is pushed into the first trolley against the push bars 64 its insertion causes the child seat 16 to move forwardly and upwardly of the first trolley to gradually clear the basket 12 of the second trolley. In the nested condition of the two trolleys shown in Figure 4, the seat has been rotated about the member 70 to a position in which it is substantially disposed above the push-handle 36 and upper basket 12 of the first trolley so that the io basket 12 of the second trolley can be received in the basket 12 of the first trolley.
When the second trolley 10 is removed from the first trolley 10, the child seat will automatically rotate about the member 70 downwardly and rearwardly of the first trolley until the support bar 58 is in abutting relationship with the basket 12 of the first trolley in which condition the seat is in position to receive a child or baby.
-~ Another shopping trolley 100 having two goods receiving baskets 112, 114 and provided with an alternative child seat 116 will now be described with reference to Figure 5. The trolley 100 corresponds substantially in configuration to the trolley 10 and accordingly its general construction will not be described in any detail herein.
The trolley 100 differs from the trolley 10 in that a different push-handle arrangement is provided.
A respective push-handle support bracket 200 is fitted to the upper end of each upright chassis member 130.
A push-bar (not shown) extends between the two support brackets 200.
The seat 116 comprises a generally rectangular bottom support portion 150 and a back support portion which is not visible in Figure 5. The seat is mounted to the rear of the goods receiving baskets 112, 114.
- io The bottom support portion 150 is carried by first arms 202 and second arms 204. A first arm 202 is pivotably attached to each of the two corners of the bottom support portion disposed adjacent to the upper goods receiving basket 112. The ends of the first arms 202 disposed remote from the support portion 150 rotatably engage a transverse rod member of the basket 112. A second arm 204 is pivotably attached to each of the two corners of the bottom -:. support portion disposed remote from the basket 112.
These two arms 204 are provided at their upper ends with sleeves which rotatably engage a transverse extending member which is fitted between the two chassis end members 130 immediately in front of the handle support brackèts 200.
The back support portion is disposed between and carried by the first arms 202.
In use, if a first trolley 100 is to be nested with a second such trolley, the first trolley is inserted between the chassis end members 130. As the upper goods receiving basket 112 is pushed between the chassis members 130 it pushes against the bottom support portion 150 of the seat 116. This causes the bottom support portion 150 to pivot towards the front of the trolley bringing it into engagement with the back support portion. As insertion of the second - 10 trolley continues the back and bottom support portions are pushed against a rear end gate of the first trolley basket 112 driving it open and allowing the upper basket 112 of the second trolley to be received therein. Thus in the same way as the seat 16 of the first embodiment the seat 116 is caused to move upwardly and forwardly of the first trolley to allow nesting to occur.
In the same way as the seat 16, when a second trolley 100 is taken out of nested relationship with a first trolley 100, the seat 116 will automatically return to the child receiving position shown in Figure 5. In the case of the seat 116, no stop means is provided for defining the child receiving position.
This position is simply the equilibrium position of the three bar linkage defined by the first arms 202, bottom support portion 150 and second arms 204 hanging from the chassis end members 130 and basket 112.
It will be understood that the seats of the embodiment have the advantage over the prior art seats of being disposed outside of the goods carrying space S of the goods receiving baskets of the trolley. It will also be appreciated that the seats are automatically moved away from the child receiving position to allow nesting of the trolleys by insertion of one trolley into a nested position in relation to another and that the child receiving position is automatically resumed when two such trolleys are pulled apart.
It will also be appreciated that the seats of the embodiments can readily be retrofitted to existing trolleys. It is only necessary to provide two mounting apertures either in the push-handle or chassis end members for the transverse mounting member and in the case of the child seat 116 to fit the first - ~ arms to the upper basket 112.
It is to be understood that it is not essential to provide a transverse mounting bar. Instead, for example, two mounting spigots could be provided for mounting either of the seats of the embodiments.
It will also be appreciated that in the embodiment it is possible to provide two seats 16 on the transverse member 70 and it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the provision of one such seat.
