The modular plastic shopping cart comprises a wheeled base comprising two opposite vertical side sections each having at least one horizontally projecting member providing a support surface; two side uprights removably connectable to the wheeled base, predetermined cooperating shapes of the wheeled base and the side uprights preventing, when assembled, relative pivoting and sliding movement between the side uprights and the wheeled base; a basket removably connectable to the side uprights, predetermined cooperating shapes of the side uprights and the basket preventing, when assembled, relative pivoting and sliding movement between the basket and the side uprights; first securing device for securing the side uprights to the wheeled base; and second securing device for securing the basket to the side uprights.

Modular plastic shopping cart

A collapsible compartment of a shopping cart. The collapsible compartment includes a swinging rear wall and fixed side walls of the shopping cart and a pivoting assembly. The pivoting assembly includes a pivoting base wall having a first edge for pivot connection to the swinging rear wall and a second edge opposite the first edge. It further includes a pivoting front wall having a first edge for pivot connection between the side walls of the shopping cart, and a second edge, opposite the first edge thereof, pivotally connected to the second edge of the pivoting base wall. The compartment further includes a pivoting panel assembly having a panel pivotable between a first position where the panel rests over the base wall and a second position where the panel is covering leg holes in the swinging rear wall, and an out of reach spring element to urge the panel in the second position.

Collapsible compartment for a shopping cart

Disclosed is a toy construction piece being in the form of a half-shell having a bottom portion, a top portion, a bottom wall portion and first and second pair of top wall portions. The bottom wall portion is generally octagonal in shape. The first and second pair of top wall portions extend perpendicularly to each other from the bottom wall portion to the top portion, forming together a generally pyramidal shape and defining four generally dihedral recesses between the four adjacent top wall portions respectively. Each of the dihedral recesses have a bottom in the form of a flat surface. Each of the flat surfaces have rows of outwardly projecting pegs and have an opening also having outwardly projecting pegs. The top portion has a border having two rows of outwardly projecting pegs, the inner row being downwardly recessed from the other. The border defines an opening therein and has an inner surface having outwardly projecting pegs. The bottom of the toy construction piece has openings cooperating with the pegs of a standard block for releasably interlocking the standard block on the bottom of the toy construction piece. The toy construction may be used to construct elaborate structures. The toy construction piece disclosed may also be a part of a kit for assembling more elaborate structures. To that effect, the kit may include standard toy construction blocks, a hinge for interconnecting two identical toy construction pieces, a support member, a leg and a foot, a turret, a cockpit and a cockpit hinge and a triangular piece.

Reversible race track section

A reversible track section for a toy car circuit. The reversible track section has a length, two opposite ends, two opposite sides, a top surface and a bottom surface. The reversible track section includes a thin, elongated plate including a central recess on the top surface. The central recess is of given height and rectangular cross-section and extends over the length defining two narrow pathways on the bottom surface, and includes a pair of longitudinal flanges on each of the opposite sides extending perpendicular to the top surface and towards the bottom surface. The longitudinal flanges are of the same height as the central recess and each is provided with an integral, outwardly projecting extension of constant width. The extension has a top surface, a bottom surface, a lateral surface, a thickness smaller than the height of the corresponding longitudinal flange, including a central portion and opposite ends thicker than the central portion, provided with alternating studs and cavities along the length on both the extension top and bottom surfaces and with an outwardly projecting stud extending perpendicularly to the lateral surface on each of the end portions. In a pit, a plurality of the reversible track sections may be interconnected in series with the top surface oriented upwardly to form a 'grand prix' circuit for a wheeled vehicle having a downwardly projecting pin designed to fit into the central recess to help guide the wheeled vehicle around the circuit, or, alternatively, the plurality of reversible track sections may be reversed and interconnected in series with the bottom surface oriented upwardly to form a 'speedway' circuit for a pair of wheeled vehicles designed to fit within the two narrow pathways, where some of the reversible track sections are straight and some of the reversible track section are curved. A 'grand prix' circuit may also include a directional switch for assembling more than one loop or may include a self-operating stopping pit.
