Shopping cart clamp-and-conceal stepping stool
The present invention is a uniquely-engineered stepping stool that elegantly connects to a shopping cart via a double-socket C-clamp. The invention features “kick up legs” with an arched crossbar for a shopper's foot and a double-socket C-clamp comprising square-shaped polyurethane memory foam teeth along its inner apertures to connect to a shopping cart's rear bottom bar. The uniquely engineered C-clamp acts as a hinge, allowing the shopper to rotate the stool around a shopping cart's rear-base bar to easily stowe the stool along the shopping cart's bottom base rack or to stowe the stool against the cart's rear wall. The clamp is also engineered to easily detach from the cart so the stool may be used independently. The stool has channels and torsion springs in its undercarriage so the legs fold up into the stool's housing, forming a single, portable unit.
