20110115176 | SHOPPING CART INFANT SEAT - An infant seat mounted on a shopping cart permits an infant to be carried while avoiding interference with a nesting function of the shopping cart. The infant seat includes a mounting plate that can be fastened to the shopping cart at a gate that can pivot about an axis to permit the infant seat to pivot with the gate during shopping cart nesting. The infant seat can be mounted to the shopping cart at a desired mounting angle with the optional use of wedges that have particular angles of inclination. The combination of wedges can be used to produce a desired mounting angle for different types of shopping carts to which the infant seat is fastened. Mounting angle indicia can be provided on the infant seat to help determine a proper or desired mounting angle for the infant seat. A gauge to determine a proper or desired mounting angle can be used with the indicia to obtain the desired mounting angle. The infant seat is weather resistant and provides a robust support for temporarily transporting an infant on a shopping cart. | 05-19-2011 |
20120286485 | CART FOR LARGE AREA OBJECTS - A cart for transporting large area objects provides a region that can support objects that have a large height and width relative to depth dimension, while accommodating more conventionally sized and shaped objects, such as might be found in a retail environment. A central leg divides the payload area of the cart into a large area object carrying portion and a region that is larger in dimension than the large area object region. The central leg is set back from a front edge of the cart, and includes a slanted upper portion to avoid interference with components of other like carts to permit the like carts to be nested. The cart permits relatively large area objects to be transported with relative ease, in addition to conventionally sized and shaped objects. | 11-15-2012 |
20130084556 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SIMULATING GOODS IN BULK - A retail display provides a simulation of stacked, palletized goods. The display simulates stacked bulk goods in bulk with a fabric cover draped on a tubular frame, where graphics and/or designs are applied to the fabric cover to simulate images of goods or stacks of goods. The fabric cover can be secured to the frame, both of which can be secured separately or together to a pallet as a support. The fabric cover and frame can be implemented in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different pallet sizes while simulating stacked bulk goods. The display eliminates the risks involved in providing actual bulk goods in palletized form for marketing and promotion purposes. The fabric cover is provided with various features, such as wind slits or rain holes to permit the display to withstand various environmental conditions. | 04-04-2013 |
20130292979 | INFANT CARRIER HOLDER - An infant carrier holder has a floor with a ramp and sidewalls and is mounted to a shopping cart. The ramp and sidewalls can contribute to stably supporting an infant carrier. The holder serves as a mechanical interface between an infant carrier, which can be received in the holder, and the shopping cart. The holder can be concavely shaped to assist in shopping cart nesting in addition to supporting a received infant carrier at a desired angle. The holder can be adjustably mounted to a gate or a basket of the shopping cart and may/may not interfere with nesting operations. The holder permits an infant carrier to be supported on a shopping cart without using a significant amount of shopping cart space or interfering with nesting operations. | 11-07-2013 |
