Abstract
A basket for public use includes a substantially upright tapered body for repeatedly moving purchasable items within a store; the body includes an interior space and an open top; the open top permits access to the interior for placing the plurality of purchasable items in the interior. Wheels allow rolling the basket within the store and a telescoping handle provided on a face of the body rollingly pulls the basket. A like-basket is nestable in the basket in a first and a second position; eg the telescoping handles are proximate to each other or the telescoping handles are distal from each other.
Claims28
A basket for public use, the basket comprising:
- a substantially upright tapered body for repeatedly moving a plurality of purchasable items within a store, the body comprising an interior space and having an open top, the open top for permitting easy access to the interior for placing the plurality of purchasable items in the interior;
- a plurality of wheels for rolling the basket within the store;
- a telescoping handle movably secured to only one face of the body for rollingly pulling the basket on the plurality of wheels, the telescoping handle comprising a plurality of lateral segments, the telescoping handle being movable substantially parallel to the face from a stored position to an extended position customizable to a preferred height of a user;
- a plurality of guide rails associated with the only one face of the body, the plurality of guide rails for guiding the respective lateral segments;
- a plurality of movable sliders jutting into the interior space, each slider limiting a vertical displacement of a corresponding lateral segment relative to the basket and preventing swiveling of the corresponding lateral segment relative to the basket;
- and
- a pair of longitudinal protrusions associated with at least one guide rail for preventing obstruction the lateral segments during movement.
