Abstract
A combination shopping cart and stock cart that includes a wheeled chassis providing a carton-carrying platform; a pair of generally vertical upright support posts at the rear of the chassis; an inverted, U-shaped, generally vertical support member the bight of which comprises a horizontal cross support member located forward of the upright support posts; and a generally horizontal side support member on each side of the cart connecting the upright support posts with the outer ends of the bight of the inverted U-shaped support member to provide a side support frame on each side of the cart. A cantilever beam means is pivotally mounted to the two side support frames so as to pivot from a horizontal, operative position to a vertical, out-of-the-way position. In its out-of-the-way position, the cantilever beam means lies substantially entirely outside the vertical space directly above the carton-carrying platform. A lading-carrying basket is secured to the pivoted cantilever beam means to move with that means between its horizontal, operative position and its vertical, out-of-the-way position.
