Abstract
In a shopping cart comprising a wheeled chassis, a handle structure, and a basket fastened to the wheeled chassis and to the handle structure, the basket comprises a front panel molded from a plastic material and two side panels molded therefrom. Each of the front and side panels has a generally uniform lattice of hexagonal structures, each bordering a similarly shaped region, at least most of those regions being hexagonal apertures. An advertising card covering a portion of a selected panel is fastened to the selected panel by fasteners pressed into holes in plugs pressed tightly into associated ones of the hexagonal apertures or by fasteners pressed into holes in closed regions defined by the generally uniform lattice. The fasteners have barbed, threaded, or bifurcated shanks.
