  • Patent number: 10988156
    Abstract: A shopping cart extender removably attaches to a shopping cart in any of a wide range of configurations. The extender comprises a rectangular yoke hingably disposed between two upright mounts. The upright mounts are configured with upper and lower hooks to attach to corresponding horizontal members of a shopping cart. When the rectangular yoke is swung up on its hinge, the extender provides level support for long items on a shopping cart to which the extender is attached. When swung down, the extender permits an attached shopping cart to be nested with other shopping carts. Embodiments of the extender have extensions to restrain long items from lateral slipping on an attached shopping cart.

  • Patent number: 5829837
    Abstract: A portable back and arm support device for use on a bleacher-type bench seat which incorporates a simple back support and two arm supports hingedly connected to the back support. Each arm support may be folded inward so that each arm support is in a parallel relationship with the back support as well as with each other in a tight, transportable arrangement, or each arm support may be folded outward in its operation position so that each arm support is in a somewhat perpendicular relationship with the back support. Each arm support contains a unique fulcruming arrangement which allows the arm supports to constrict, thereby attaching to, or "grasping" onto a bench-type seat by fastening to the mere edges of such bench-type seat.
