Abstract
An improved base construction for a wheeled nestable shopping cart is provided by forming the base primarily from two U-shaped members. The first U-member has a planar portion disposed directly under the basket for supporting same, which portion terminates in downwardly directed rear legs which have the lower ends thereof joined to the rear wheel assemblies. The second U-member has the bight thereof forming the toe end of the base. The leg portions of this second member incline rearwardly and upwardly from the bight such that the free ends thereof are fixedly engaged with the rear legs adjacent the upper ends thereof. Side braces rigidly join the planar portion to the leg portions of the second member. This arrangement effectively prevents storage of goods on the base.
