Brake Mechanism for Grocery and other User-Propelled Carts

摘要

An brake mechanism adapted to be secured to the rear wheels of a user-propelled cart, such as a grocery cart, includes a chock member for chocking wheel when brake mechanism is in the deployed, or braking position. Brake mechanism further includes a chock support member for rotatably securing the chock member to the wheel attachment members. In this regard, the chock support member rotatably secures chock member to wheel attachment member such that chock member can be selectively rotated, by a user of the cart, from an upward, or non-braking, position to a deployed, or braking position.
