Improvements in shopping cart corrals of the type used in parking lots of supermarket stores; provision of an improved shopping cart corral construction which is alternatively (a) pivotable at certain joints thereof and foldable upon itself for storage and transportation and (b), on the other hand, lockable in rigid structural position for use in a supermarket parking lot; in shopping cart corrals typically having one closed and one open end with elongate fence portions enclosing the space between the two ends, the provision of mounting means for the elongate fence portions on the closed end portion which permit both (a) pivoting and folding of the elements of the device upon itself for storage and transport and (b) locking of the sides and ends of the device rigidly with respect to one another for use.

An improved shopping cart corral comprising, in combination: (1) a closed end structure for said corral comprising a substantially A-shaped frame member having (a) a pair of first and second, spaced apart, normally vertical, substantially parallel side legs, (b) a normally substantially horizontal upper beam rigidly connecting together the said side legs adjacent the tops thereof and (c) a normally substantially horizontal, intermediate height beam rigidly joining together said vertical side legs substantially intermediate the upper and lower ends thereof, (2) a first, elongate, side wall beam member connected at an inboard end thereof to a first one of said side legs intermediate the ends thereof and having connected thereto, at an outboard end thereof, a stub leg substantially vertical in at least a portion thereof supporting said first side wall member in a substantially horizontal position above the ground, (3) a second, elongate, side wall beam member connected at an inboard end thereof to a second one of said side legs intermediate the ends thereof and having connected thereto, at an outboard end thereof, a stub leg substantially vertical in at least a portion thereof supporting said second side wall member in a substantially horizontal position above the ground, (4) means connecting the inboard end of each respective side wall beam member to the respective vertical side wall leg in such manner as to enable the A-shaped frame member, under certain conditions, to pivot with respect to said side wall beam members in a manner so as to collapse itself and one of said side wall beam members essentially against the other side wall beam member, in substantially parallel position relative thereto, (5) said connecting means also connecting the inboard end of each respective side wall beam member to the respective vertical side leg in such manner as to be able to lock the inboard ends of said side wall members, under certain conditions, to the said respective vertical side leg and to the normally substantially horizontal intermediate height beam of said A-shaped frame member in such manner that the side wall members are fixed, substantially parallel to one another and, as well, fixed in extension at substantial right angles to the A-shaped frame member, each in the same direction.
