Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9604161A1] A trolley, for example a shopping trolley, is constructed from essentially planar plastic moulded components, for storage and transport in a dismantled condition. The trolley basket is formed from side panels (31), bottom panel (30), front panel (32), rear panel (33) with integrally moulded child's seat, and a handle, while the base is formed by side rails (35) and a front joining plate (36). The trolley is assembled using interlocking means in such a way that once each component is assembled onto the trolley, it cannot be dismantled until the final component is dismantled. The trolley may incorporate a scannable identification device and means responding to trolley identification are used to provide information as to the pattern of movement of the trolleys and also to cause the conduct of a financial transaction.
