Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19856584A1] The invention relates to a shopping cart and to a method which allows for such carts to be nested in each other. According to the invention the shopping cart is almost exclusively made of a plastic material and in particular has at least partly flat outer contours. According to the invention the shopping cart (1) comprises a basket (2) and an undercarriage (3) with wheels (4) which has two lateral cheeks (15) extending upwards on either side of the basket (2). The basket (2) is fixed to the undercarriage (3) such that it is able to pivot about a transverse axis (5) in such a way that it can be moved from a horizontal normal position into a nesting position. The shopping cart is characterized in that in the direction of travel behind the axis (5) the space between the lateral cheeks (15) is open.
