  • Patent number: 7594667
    Abstract: A device in a stackable shopping basket of the type that at the underside thereof is provided with wheels and that at the upper part thereof has a draw-handle hingedly fixed to the upper edge of the basket. The handle is larger/longer in comparison with conventional such shopping-basket handles and has the purpose of making it possible to pull the basket behind rolling on the wheels in connection with walking through, for instance, a shop where purchase is made. The handle which is in the form of a U-shaped frame has, at the respective ends thereof, a first part of a deflection limiter formed as crescent-like circle segments that are arranged around the hinged ends and intended to co-operate with a corresponding second part of the deflection limiter that prevents pivoting motion of the circle segments past a certain arc angle and being in the form of two stop blocks, which are fixedly arranged adjacent to the edge of the shopping basket at the attachment points of the hinged ends.
