Patent attributes
The invention concerns a collapsible compartment of a shopping cart comprising a seat panel for closing leg holes avoiding small objects or groceries to fall out. The panel has a rear edge having a tube-shaped portion hingely connected to the swinging rear wall of the compartment. The panel may be urged in an up or down position thanks to a cam element positioned longitudinally on the tube-shaped portion so as to face a vertical wire of the swinging rear wall of the collapsible compartment acting as a spring. The cam is also positioned radially on the tube-shaped portion so as to strike the vertical wire when the seat panel is pivoted from either the down position to the up position or the up position to the down position. The invention is also directed to a shopping cart including the same collapsible compartment.
