  • Publication number: 20240140513
    Abstract: A shopping cart comprises a chassis, wheels, and a basket. The chassis includes a base frame and support masts extending upwardly from the base frame. The wheels are coupled to the chassis. The basket is supported by the support masts to extend over the chassis, wherein the basket defines a compartment for selectively storing items. The base frame defines an exterior facing surface having a bumper extending outwardly away from a remainder of the exterior facing surface providing a buffer of space between an exterior bumper surface and a remainder of the base frame.

  • Publication number: 20240140511
    Abstract: A shopping cart includes a wheeled base, two support masts, a basket, and a gate. The two support masts are coupled to and extend upwardly from the wheeled base. The basket is coupled to the two support masts and extends over the wheeled base to define a compartment having a rear opening. The gate includes a primary panel and a child seat. The primary panel is rotatable between a first position, covering the rear opening, and a second position extending above the compartment. The child seat extends from a front surface of the primary panel and into the compartment when the primary panel is in the first position. The child seat comprises a bottom panel, a back, and side panels. The bottom panel and opposing side panels collectively form a child seat surround extending from a first side of the primary panel to a second side of the primary panel.

  • Publication number: 20240132130
    Abstract: A shopping cart for use in forming a horizontal stack of shopping carts that includes a support frame, a basket, and a lifting fender. The support frame includes a chassis and support masts extending substantially vertically from the chassis. The chassis is coupled to front wheels and rear wheels and includes a rear cross bar extending across the chassis. The basket is supported by the support masts over the chassis and defines a compartment. The lifting fender is formed separately from the support frame and is selectively coupled to an underside of the rear cross bar. The lifting fender defines a lift section extending below the rear cross bar and defines a bottom surface configured to be the initial contact point for a second, rear shopping cart when the horizontal stack of shopping carts is formed decreasing contact between the second, rear shopping cart and the rear cross bar.

  • Publication number: 20240132132
    Abstract: A shopping cart is configured to roll along a supporting surface and includes a chassis, a basket, a rear leg, a rear wheel, and a rotational brake. The basket is supported above the chassis. The rear leg extends downwardly from the chassis. The rear wheel is rotatably coupled to the rear leg and is configured to rotate about a rotational axis. The rear wheel defines an outside perimeter configured to contact and roll along the supporting surface. A rotational brake is coupled to the rear leg and extending radially away from the rotational axis in a rearward and downward direction beyond an outside perimeter of the rear wheel. The rotational brake is configured to impede rotation of the chassis and the basket about the rotational axis.

  • Patent number: 8119116
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating a cancerous tumor using selective inhibitors of ATP production. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical preparations comprising such inhibitors and methods for administering them intraarterially directly to a tumor, as well as methods for identifying compositions that selectively inhibitor ATP production for use in the invention.

  • Publication number: 20020068711
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells using antisense polynucleotides or oligonucleotides. Tumor cells having a highly glycolytic phenotype can be inhibited with an antisense molecule that hybridizes with a nucleic acid encoding a hexokinase. The present invention also relates to recombinant nucleic acid molecules useful for regulating transcription and translation and which can contain an antisense molecule. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical preparations containing antisense molecules.
