연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

The shopping assembly of claim 1, wherein a portion of the bottom surface of the platform rests on the top end of the rear wall of the shopping cart. 3. The shopping assembly of claim 1, wherein the cuff and the platform are formed together as a single piece, and the front edge of the platform is positioned adjacent the rear wall of the shopping cart. 4. The shopping assembly of claim 1, wherein the cuff of the support shelf is configured to flex to receive the handle of the shopping cart and is biased to return to an unflexed position to grasp the handle. 5. The shopping assembly of claim 1, wherein the support shelf includes at least one securement mechanism depending from the platform near the front edge of the platform, and the at least one securement mechanism is configured to flex to receive a portion of the rear wall of the shopping cart to further couple the support shelf to the shopping cart in a manner preventing rotation of the support shelf about the handle. 6. The shopping assembly of claim 5, wherein the at least one securement mechanism includes a curvilinear protrusion that fits immediately adjacent and contacts the rear wall along only one or both of a surfaces of the rear wall facing the handle and a surface of the rear wall facing downwardly such that the support shelf is securely maintained between the rear wall and the handle in a manner preventing rotation of the support shelf about the handle. 7. The shopping assembly of claim 1, wherein the support shelf includes a sidewall extending around at least three sides of a perimeter of the platform. 8. The shopping assembly of claim 1, wherein: the bridge includes an interior aperture, andthe cuff extends through the interior aperture such that the free cuff end is positioned on a front side of the bridge. 9. The shopping assembly of claim 1, wherein: the free cuff end is a top free cuff end of the cuff, andthe cuff includes a lower cuff wall curving rearwardly and upwardly from a rear surface of the bridge toward the top free cuff end to form a second free cuff end. 10. The shopping assembly of claim 1, wherein the platform includes an elongated groove near and extending substantially parallel to the rear edge of the platform at a position entirely between the cuff and the rear wall of the shopping cart, and the elongated groove is sized to receive an edge of a mobile device. 11. The shopping assembly of claim 10, wherein the elongated groove interrupts the topmost surface of the platform dividing the topmost surface of the platform into a front portion in front of the elongated groove and a back portion behind the elongated groove. 12. The shopping assembly of claim 10, wherein the elongated groove is positioned such when the edge of the mobile device is received with the elongated groove, the mobile device angles upwardly and rearwardly from the elongated groove and a side of the mobile device rests against the cuff such that the mobile device faces toward the basket of the shopping cart. 13. The shopping assembly of claim 1, wherein the support shelf includes a means for enhancing friction overlaying at least a portion of the topmost surface of the platform. 14. The shopping assembly of claim 13, wherein the means for enhancing friction includes a pad adhered to the topmost surface of the platform. 15. The shopping assembly of claim 1, wherein the support shelf is readily coupled to and uncoupled from the shopping cart without the use of tools. 16. The shopping assembly of claim 1, wherein the shopping cart includes a child seating area within the basket on a front side of the rear wall opposite the handle. 17. The shopping assembly of claim 1, wherein the topmost surface of the platform is substantially planar and extends upwardly at an inclined angle between about 10 degrees and about 45 degrees as the platform extends from the rear edge to the front edge of the platform. 18. A support shelf for use with a shopping cart including a basket rear wall and a handle spaced rearwardly from the basket rear wall, the support shelf comprising: a cuff sized and shaped to wrap at least partially around the handle of the shopping cart to couple the support shelf to the shopping cart, anda platform positioned entirely below and extending forwardly relative to the cuff, the platform including a topmost surface, a bottom surface opposite the topmost surface, a front edge, and a rear edge opposite the front edge, wherein: the cuff is positioned on a rear side of the rear edge of the platform, andthe platform is sized to extend forwardly from the cuff to the front edge in a manner positioning a portion of the bottom surface of the platform over a top end of the basket rear wall of the shopping cart;wherein the platform is substantially planar and defines an elongated groove extending across the platform near the rear edge of the platform and below the topmost surface of the platform, the elongated groove is configured to receive an edge of a planar consumer item, and the platform includes a means for enhancing friction overlaying at least a portion of the topmost surface of the platform above the elongated groove. 19. The support shelf of claim 18, further comprising, at least one securement mechanism depending downwardly and then forwardly from the bottom surface of the platform and configured to interface with the basket rear wall of the shopping cart when the cuff is wrapped around the handle of the shopping cart. 20. A method of enhancing a shopping cart, the method comprising: providing a support shelf, the support shelf including: a curvilinear cuff, anda platform positioned below and extending forwardly relative to the cuff, the platform including a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface and extending between a front edge and a rear edge thereof, wherein the rear edge is closer to the cuff than the front edge, andfront securement means depending first downwardly from the bottom surface of the platform and then forwardly toward the front edge of the platform;coupling the cuff of the support shelf to a handle of the shopping cart, wherein: the shopping cart further includes a basket and a basket rear wall,the handle is positioned rearwardly from the basket rear wall,the platform extends from the handle of the shopping cart toward the basket rear wall of the shopping cart such that the support shelf bridges a space between the handle and the basket rear wall of the shopping cart and the top surface of the support shelf faces upwardly, andcoupling the cuff of the support shelf to the handle of the shopping cart includes coupling the curvilinear cuff to the handle and downwardly rotating the front edge of the platform about the handle pushing the front securement means into contact with the rear wall such that the front securement means flexes to fit at least partially below a surface of the rear wall.
