Abstract: A transportable cart having a basket with a lift mechanism that raises the unit to the cargo floor height of the vehicle, and also used to lower the basket to a comfortable working height for the user while shopping. A slide mechanism includes a frame member, a set of guide rails, a plurality of wheels and rollers to guide the basket and frame assemblies into and out of the vehicle. A plurality of legs and base frame members connected by a plurality of cross members and hinges that are foldable to a compact arrangement and fits in place alongside the basket inside the vehicle. Wheels or casters attached to the base frame that contacts the ground when the cart is unloaded from the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for forming a fluid conduit system between a first conduit member fabricated from a first type of plastic and a second conduit member of dissimilar plastic, the second conduit member including a coupling element having a filleted inner surface, the method including slidably positioning a compression ring proximate the end of the first conduit member and positioning a bonding layer of electromagnetically activated adhesive bonding composition about the end of the first conduit member and positioning the end of the first conduit member in the coupling member and subjecting it to electromagnetic energy so as to soften the bonding composition and end of the first conduit member while pressing the first conduit member into the coupling and then pressing the compression ring into the coupling and discontinuing the application of electromagnetic energy.
