Abstract
A cart with foldable side panels for transporting groceries and similar articles is shown. The cart includes a handle movable between a stowage position and an extended position for pulling the cart. A linkage couples the motion of the handle between its stowage position and its extended position to the side panels for causing the side panels to be in their folded position, resting upon the flatbed of the cart, when the handle is in its stowed position, and the side panels to be in their upstanding or erected position when the handle is in its extended position.
