Abstract
There is disclosed herein an anti-loading tray assembly, for mounting upon the lower frame of conventional nestable shopping carts, at a position below the basket so as to prevent pilferage by loading of articles onto the cart below the basket. The tray includes a plurality of interconnecting elongated struts, cross members of a size, shape and arrangement to define a forwardly-and-downwardly sloping, plane-like area with lateral wings which prevent loading of articles upon either the tray or lower frame of the cart. Simplified means of connection of the tray to existing structure of the cart's frame provides that the anti-loading tray may be an economical add-on feature. The arrangement provides a simple inexpensive tray which is easily manufactured and may be readily installed both at the factory and on existing carts in the field.
