GE101 Prototype

Imagine this.
You're in the store, and you've just bought a cart full of things you need.
You walk though the automatic sliding doors into the outside world.
And look at it. It's coming down so hard you wish you'd bought scuba gear.
You can put on an umbrella, but what about your stuff? It's doomed!

That's where we come in.
What we are developing, is a simple, easy cover for your shopping cart.
No longer will you have to rely on brown paper bags that look like they've been dropped in the river.
No longer will you have to watch helplessly as that much-needed toilet paper turns to goo.
No longer will you have to grab books and greeting cards and stuff them into your shirt.

We needed to test our prototype.
So, we paid a visit to the great Mecca of engineering.
For our test, we procured a shopping cart, and some Engineering supplies.

Okay, so the prototype doesn't really work.
The problem is, the cover is a rubbery plastic material, and it likes to make friction.
The final version is going to allow an easy pull.
It's also going to retract automatically on spring action, like a car seatbelt.
To keep it secured on the cart, a bracket can be installed on teh front of the cart, to hook into a grommet in the cover.
Mounting on the cart is simple. Brackets attach to the frame of the cart itself.
