Patent AT-E399694-T1: [Translated] SHOPPING VENTURE

A shopping trolley ( 10 ) has a basket ( 11 ), handle ( 12 ) and front and rear wheels ( 13, 14 ). The basket ( 11 ), tapered in plan view, has side walls ( 15, 16 ) interconnected by a front wall ( 17 ). The rear wall ( 19 ) is hingedly connected to the side walls ( 15, 16 ) and engages the rearward end of the floor ( 22 ), which is hingedly connected to the side walls ( 15, 16 ) or front wall ( 17 ). The floor ( 22 ) is downwardly inclined from the rearward end to the forward end. When the trolley ( 10 ) is nested with a similar trolley, the rear wall ( 19 ) is swung inwardly and upwardly, causing the floor ( 22 ) to be swung upwardly to be behind the front wall ( 17 ). Alternative the floor ( 22 ) may be folded e.g. in a concertina-like fashion, to be behind the front wall ( 17 ).
