[0017] An embodiment of the auxiliary shopping basket according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the arrows in each drawing indicate F as front, B as back, R as right, L as left, U as up, and D as down. Note that the above directions are for ease of explanation and do not specify the orientation of the auxiliary shopping basket or the shopping basket described below.

[0018] The auxiliary shopping basket 10 can be attached to the inside of the shopping basket 100 as shown in FIGS.

[0019] As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, the shopping basket 100 comprises a bottom wall portion 110 and a peripheral wall portion 120 extending upward from the bottom wall portion 110, and is formed so that the side opposite to the bottom wall portion 110 (upper side) is open.

[0020] The upper end of the peripheral wall 120 has an outwardly extending flange 121. A pair of handles 130 are disposed above the flange 121, and a total of four semi-cylindrical bearings 140 are provided to allow the handles 130 to rotate.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, the auxiliary shopping basket 10 generally has a bottom wall 20, a peripheral wall 40, a partition plate 60, and a flange portion 80, and can be attached above the bottom wall portion 110 of the shopping basket 100 so as to face the peripheral wall portion 120.

[0022] The bottom wall 20 is formed in a flat plate shape and is provided with a storage recess 21 in which the partition plate 60 is stored when the bottom wall 20 is placed on top of the partition plate 60 in a first state described below. The storage recess 21 is formed as a bottomed groove extending from the upper surface of the bottom wall 20 to the lower surface.

[0023] The area of ​​the bottom wall 20 where the storage recess 21 is arranged is formed to have a narrow width. In this embodiment, it is formed to be approximately 10 mm narrower than other parts.

[0024] The peripheral wall 40 extends diagonally upward from the bottom wall 20 and includes a pair of opposing opposing walls 41, a connecting wall 42 connecting the rear ends of the pair of walls, and a flange portion 80 that extends outward from the upper end of the peripheral wall 40 and is placed on a flange portion 121 arranged at the upper end of the peripheral wall portion 120.

[0025] The flange portion 80 has a restricting portion 81 that engages with a flange portion 121 at the upper end of the peripheral wall portion 120 of the shopping basket 100 to restrict movement. In this embodiment, a return portion 82 is provided on the outer peripheral edge side of the flange portion 80 so as to extend downward, and the area surrounded by the flange portion 80 and the peripheral wall 40 serves as the restricting portion 81.

[0026] The front end 83 of the flange 80 can come into contact with the bearing 140 of the handle 130 of the shopping basket 100. When the flange 80 comes into contact with the bearing 140, it functions as a stopper that restricts the forward movement of the auxiliary shopping basket 10.

[0027] A handle 84 is provided at the center of the rear end of the flange 80 so as to protrude rearward.

[0028] The partition plate 60 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape and is pivotally supported on the bottom wall 20 so as to be rotatable about an axis in the left-right direction. More specifically, two rectangular parallelepiped recesses 22 are provided at the front end of the bottom wall 20, and cylindrical shafts 24 are provided in the recesses 22 along the left-right direction.

[0029] On the base end side of the partition plate 60, two semi-tubular portions 61 formed in a semi-cylindrical shape are arranged.

[0030] By fitting the semi-tubular portion 61 into the shaft portion 24, the partition plate 60 can rotate about an axis in the left-right direction relative to the bottom wall 20. When the partition plate 60 is erected from the bottom wall 20, its lower end abuts against the upper end of the bottom wall 20, preventing it from falling forward.

[0031] The partition plate 60 can be rotated to change between a first state in which it is overlapped with the bottom wall 20 and a second state in which it stands upright from the bottom wall 20, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

[0032] The partition plate 60 is formed so as to be flush with the upper surface of the bottom wall 20 in the first state.

[0033] The following describes how to use the auxiliary shopping basket 10. The auxiliary shopping basket 10 is placed inside the shopping basket 100, and the flange portion 80 is placed on the flange portion 121 at the upper end of the peripheral wall portion 120. The restricting portion 81 and the front end portion 83 of the flange portion 80 restrict the auxiliary shopping basket 10 from moving relative to the shopping basket 100.

[0034] When storing large-sized items, the partition plate 60 is placed on the bottom wall 20 in a first state, and when storing small-sized items, the partition plate 60 is placed upright against the bottom wall 20 in a second state, so that the shopping basket 100 can be divided according to the size of the items to be stored.

[0035] The auxiliary shopping basket 10 having the above-described configuration includes a bottom wall portion 110 and a peripheral wall portion 120 extending from the bottom wall portion 110, and can be attached to the inside of the shopping basket 100, which is open on the side opposite to the bottom wall portion 110. The container comprises a bottom wall (20), a peripheral wall (40) extending from the bottom wall (20) and having a pair of opposing opposing walls (41) and a connecting wall (42) connecting the ends of the pair of opposing walls (41), a partition plate (60) pivotally supported on the bottom wall (20), and a flange portion (80) extending outward from the upper end of the peripheral wall (40) and placed on the upper end of the peripheral wall portion (120), The partition plate 60 can be rotated to change between a first state in which it is overlapped with the bottom wall 20 and a second state in which it stands upright from the bottom wall 20.

[0036] According to this, when the partition plate 60 is in the first state, even large-sized stored items can be separated, and when the partition plate 60 is in the second state, small-sized stored items can be separated.

[0037] In addition, when attached to the shopping basket 100, The flange portion 80 is provided with a restricting portion 81 that engages with the upper end of the peripheral wall portion 120 of the shopping basket 100 to restrict movement.

[0038] According to this, the movement of the auxiliary shopping basket 10 is restricted by the restricting portion 81, so that the attached state of the auxiliary shopping basket 10 can be stabilized.

[0039] In addition, when attached to the shopping basket 100, The flange portion 80 is capable of coming into contact with a bearing portion 140 of a handle 130 of the shopping basket 100 .

[0040] According to this, the flange 80 functions as a stopper by abutting against the bearing portion 140, so that the attachment state of the auxiliary shopping basket 10 can be stabilized.

[0041] A second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted in whole or in part.

[0042] As shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, the auxiliary shopping basket 10A has a bottom wall 20A, a first bottom wall 26 connected to the peripheral wall 40A, and a second bottom wall 28 that is slidable relative to the first bottom wall 26.

[0043] The first bottom wall 26 is formed in a flat plate shape, and is provided with a slide hole 27 formed as a bottomed hole extending from the upper surface to the lower surface.

[0044] The second bottom wall 28 is formed in a flat plate shape, and is provided with a stopper 29 that protrudes in a prismatic shape from the lower surface.

[0045] A guide wall 44 that extends in the front-rear direction like a flat plate and that guides the movement of the second bottom wall 28 is disposed at the lower part of the opposing wall 41 that constitutes the peripheral wall 40A.

[0046] The second bottom wall 28 is disposed between the first bottom wall 26 and the guide wall 44, and a stopper 29 is disposed in the slide hole 27, so that the second bottom wall 28 can slide relative to the first bottom wall 26.

[0047] When the stopper 29 abuts against the slide hole 27, the movement of the second bottom wall 28 in the front-rear direction is restricted.

[0048] In this embodiment, a configuration equivalent to the storage recess 21 is not provided.

[0049] In addition to the functional effects of the auxiliary shopping basket 10, the auxiliary shopping basket 10A configured as described above has a bottom wall 20A that is provided with a first bottom wall 26 that is connected to the peripheral wall 40A, and a second bottom wall 28 that is slidable relative to the first bottom wall 26.

[0050] This allows the second bottom wall 28 to be pulled out or pushed in to accommodate various sizes of stored items.

[0051] A third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted in whole or in part.

[0052] As shown in FIGS. 12 to 16, the auxiliary shopping basket 10B has a bottom wall 20B pivotally supported by a connecting wall 42B that constitutes the peripheral wall 40B so as to be rotatable about an axis in the left-right direction.

[0053] More specifically, a semi-pipe portion 46 formed in a semi-cylindrical shape similar to the semi-pipe portion 61 is disposed at the lower end of the connecting wall 42B.

[0054] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the rotation of the partition plate 60, the opposing wall 41B extends perpendicular to the bottom wall 20B and is formed so as not to interfere with the partition plate 60, and the flange portion 80 has a large protrusion amount in the left-right direction.

[0055] Two rectangular recesses 30 are provided at the end of the bottom wall 20B on the connecting wall 42B side, and each recess 30 has a cylindrical shaft 31 extending in the left-right direction.

[0056] By fitting the half pipe portion 46 onto the shaft portion 31, the bottom wall 20B can rotate relative to the connecting wall 42B.

[0057] An engaging portion 48 formed with an uneven surface is arranged at the lower end of the opposing wall 41B, and an engaged portion 32 formed with an uneven surface that can engage with the engaging portion 48 is arranged at the left and right ends of the bottom wall 20B.

[0058] By engaging the engaging portion 48 with the engaged portion 32, the bottom wall 20B is restricted from rotating downward.

[0059] The bottom wall 20B is pivotally supported relative to the connecting wall 42B and can be disposed along the connecting wall 42B.

[0060] In addition to the effects of auxiliary shopping basket 10, auxiliary shopping basket 10B configured as described above has bottom wall 20B that is pivotally supported relative to connecting wall 42B and can be disposed along connecting wall 42B.

[0061] According to this, when there is no need to separate the stored items, the bottom wall 20B can be positioned along the connecting wall 42B and extended toward the peripheral wall portion 120 of the shopping basket 100, allowing it to be used in the same manner as a normal shopping basket.

[0062] The auxiliary shopping basket of the present invention is not limited to the above-described configuration, and various design modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0063] For example, the partition plate and the bottom wall can be configured to be rotatable using existing structures such as hinges and hinge structures of foldable storage boxes.

[0064] It can also be attached to the basket part of a shopping cart, not just to a handheld shopping basket.

[0065] Also, as shown in Figure 17, it is possible to form the area in which the storage recess 21 of the bottom wall 20 is arranged, in other words, the part in front of the opposing wall 41, to have the same width as the width of the other parts of the bottom wall 20.

[0066] 18, the portion of the bottom wall 20 in front of the opposing wall 41 can be formed to have the same width as the remaining portion of the bottom wall 20. Accordingly, it is also possible to adopt a mode in which the storage recess 21 is not provided in the bottom wall 20, and the partition plate 60 is superimposed on the bottom wall 20.
