A combination shopping cart and stock cart that includes a wheeled chassis providing a carton-carrying platform; a pair of generally vertical upright support posts at the rear of the chassis; an inverted, U-shaped, generally vertical support member the bight of which comprises a horizontal cross support member located forward of the upright support posts; and a generally horizontal side support member on each side of the cart connecting the upright support posts with the outer ends of the bight of the inverted U-shaped support member to provide a side support frame on each side of the cart. A cantilever beam means is pivotally mounted to the two side support frames so as to pivot from a horizontal, operative position to a vertical, out-of-the-way position. In its out-of-the-way position, the cantilever beam means lies substantially entirely outside the vertical space directly above the carton-carrying platform. A lading-carrying basket is secured to the pivoted cantilever beam means to move with that means between its horizontal, operative position and its vertical, out-of-the-way position.

A combination shopping cart and stock cart which comprises: (a) a wheeled chassis providing a carton-carrying platform; (b) a pair of generally vertical upright support posts carried by said chassis at the rear thereof, one on either side of the chassis; (c) an inverted, U-shaped, generally vertical support member carried by the rear portion of said chassis, the bight between the downwardly extending legs of said inverted U-shaped support member comprising a horizontal cross support member that is located forward of the upper ends of said pair of upright support posts; (d) a generally horizontal side support member on each side of the cart connecting each of said rear upright support posts with the outer end portions of the bight of said inverted U-shaped support member to provide a side support frame on each side of the cart; (e) cantilever beam means pivotally mounted to said two side support frames to pivot from a generally horizontal, operative position extending forward of said inverted, U-shaped, vertical support member, said cantilever beam means being supported in said operative position by said horizontal cross support member and said pivotal mounting to said side support frames, to a substantially vertical, out-of-the-way position above said U-shaped support member, in which position said cantilever beam means lies substantially entirely outside the vertical space directly above said carton-carrying platform on the wheeled chassis of the cart, and back again, the pivot axis of said pivoted cantilever beam means being located rearward of said horizontal cross support member; and (f) a basket defining a lading-carrying space, said basket being secured to said pivoted cantilever beam means so as to be supported by the latter selectively in either said generally horizontal, operative position of the cantilever beam or said substantially vertical, out-of-the-way position of the cantilever beam, with the rear end of said basket located substantially at said pivot axis of the mounting between said pivoted cantilever beam means and said two side support frames.
