Abstract: A collapsible and stackable material handling container comprising a collapsible basket defined by a bottom support wall, a rear wall hinged along a bottom edge to a rear edge of the bottom wall, a pair of side walls each hinged at a vertical rear edge to a respective one of opposed vertical edges of the rear wall, and a front wall hinged along a bottom edge to a front edge of the bottom wall. The improvement comprises a support frame formed with the bottom wall for supporting the basket and a load positionable therein elevated from a support surface. The support frame is a rectangular frame defined by opposed pairs of parallel outer tubular members and intermediate tubular members extending between the outer tubular members, all having sloped faces, and secured thereto to form a structural frame. A leg member is secured to a respective corner of the support frame and defines a hook flange. A corner plate is secured to the leg member and has a hook flange receiving channel in a top edge thereof.

Abstract: A nesting shopping cart comprising a basket support frame mounted on castors, and a container basket secured to the support frame. A handle is provided rearwardly in a top portion of the basket for pushing the cart to displace it. The container basket has a bottom wall and a rear hinged gate wall, a front wall, opposed side walls and an open top end. The improvement comprises wherein at least the opposed side walls of the basket are constructed at least in a major portion thereof as a solid flat wall having an information display on an outer surface thereof and wherein the side wall and/or information display is removably securable.

Abstract: A drawer-like container assembly comprising a support frame for slidingly supporting a rectangular container having at least opposed engageable side support members. The frame has a pair of spaced elongated container engaging channels for slidingly engaging the side supports on a respective side of the container. A retention gate is pivotally connected to the frame and positionable internally of the container for abutment with a rear portion of the container for retaining the container in the frame and limiting outward sliding displacement of the container when slidingly engaged by the frame. The retention gate is also positionable outwardly of the container to permit removal of the container from the frame.

Abstract: A shelf support structure for supporting a shelf on support posts having an adjustably positionable support bracket. The bracket has a pair of spaced apart upwardly extending protruding side arms defining respective notches between its associated post and the arms. The invention resides in that the support structure comprises a flat rigid plate member connected to a shelf vertical side wall. The plate member has a pair of vertically extending slotted bores. The pair of side arms of the bracket are receivable in the pair of vertical slotted bores whereby to receive the plate member seated across the notches forwardly of the post associated therewith.

Abstract: A child safety belt for attachment across a seat having an attaching side rod element for releasable securement of the belt thereto. The belt comprises a strap having elastic properties and a detachable securing buckle is secured to at least one end of the strap. The securing buckle has a pair of jaw members pivotally interconnected on a pivot axis to move from a closed to an open position. A first of the jaw members has a throat portion to receive the side rod element therein. A second of the jaw members has a strap attaching end rearwardly and offset from the pivot axis in a direction toward the first jaw member whereby tension on the strap urges the second jaw member against the first jaw member when the side rod is received in the throat portion and the jaw members are brought to the closed position.

Abstract: A resiliently biased seat panel for a seat frame associated with an end gate of a push-cart. The end gate has leg holes to permit the legs of a child seated on the seat frame to extend therethrough. The seat panel comprises a hinge along an edge thereof to hingedly retain the panel for displacement to and away from the seat frame. A spring biases the seat panel away from the seat frame in a position against the leg holes to obstruct at least a substantial portion of the leg holes when the seat panel is not utilized for seating a child. Thus, articles positioned on the seat frame cannot fall through the leg holes as it is obstructed by the seat panel.

Abstract: A stackable material handling container comprising a bottom support wall. Opposed pairs of leg members are provided on opposite sides of the bottom support wall, each of the leg members having a support surface spaced downwardly of the bottom support wall and an intermediate bearing surface spaced between the bottom support wall and the support surface. A rigid upstanding wall is secured to a marginal edge of the bottom support wall and extending thereabove across each pair of leg members. Guide means is provided on a top edge of the upstanding wall to position the bearing surface of each of the leg members of a further container in a respective support edge section of the top edge whereby containers may be stacked in alignment one on top of the other.

Abstract: A collapsible container side wall for use with a material support pallet. The container side wall has a front panel, a rear panel and two side panels, the latter panels being interconnected between opposed end edges of the front and rear panels by a respective hinge connection. Each of the side panels has two panel sections interconnected to each other by a transverse hinge located intermediate the front and rear panels and extending parallel to the hinge connections at the end edges of the front and rear panels. The transverse hinge of one of the two side panels is offset laterally from the transverse hinge of the other side panel whereby the panel sections can fold inwardly with one side panel on top of the other between the front and rear panels with these latter panels collapsing towards each other. Retention means is provided in the lower edge of the container side wall to prevent lateral displacement of the container side wall when positioned about a peripheral area of the pallet.
