Abstract: A shopping basket for self service store shopping comprises two main parts, a fixed rear part and a movable front part which automatically adjust for length and width when nesting with another shopping basket. Use of tubular elements cooperating along transverse axes allows translational adjustment of the lower and side walls of the basket along a longitudinal axis of the cart and axis transverse thereto.

Abstract: The invention concerns a trolley basket for self-service shop comprising a base, a front wall, a rear wall and two side walls on the right and on the left, said basket being characterised in that the front part includes: a lower wall co-operating through translational guide means (11) with the base (5) of the rear part; slender elements (14A) which, forming two parallel lateral sides, have their proximal ends guided in translation with the side wall (8) concerned and their other distal ends curved in the plane of the front wall to co-operate with translational guide means (13) borne by a support (12), thereby forming the front wall.
