Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a collapsible basket to overcome the drawbacks of conventional baskets. The basket has a base with two side edges and two end edges. It also includes two side frames mounted on the mounting bars of the base and two end frames mounted on the end edges of the base and comprising multiple dowel pins. The frames can be folded towards the base to reduce the size of the basket, and it is easy to assemble and collapse. The technical effects of the invention are improved portability, ease of use, and versatility."

Problems solved by technology

However, the assembly and taking apart of the conventional basket is complicated.
Moreover, if any dowel pins (812) are lost a gap will be formed between two adjacent frames (81) thereby reducing a loading strength and appearance of the basket.
Therefore the basket is not conveniently collapsed for transportation and storage.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the collapsible basket in accordance with the present invention has a base (10), two side-frames (20), two end frames (21, 23) and multiple dowel pins (30).

[0022]The base (10) has two end edges (12), two side edges (11) and two mounting bars (111).

[0023]The side edges (11) are defined opposite to each other. The end edges (12) are defined opposite to each other.

[0024]The mounting bars (111) are formed on and protrude from the corresponding side edge (11).

[0025]The side-frames (20) are pivotally mounted respectively on the mounting bars (111) and each comprises a top and two hollow ends (201).

[0026]The end frames (21, 23) are pivotally mounted respectively on the end edges (12) of the base (10) and each end frame (21, 23) respectively has two hollow ends (201). Each end frame (21, 23) may be circular, flat, quadrangular or such like in cross section and corresponds with and aligns with the connecting hole (201). The end frame (23) may be bent to...

Abstract

A collapsible basket has a base, two end frames, two side-frames and multiple dowel pins. A size of the collapsible basket can be reduced by folding the frames toward the base. Moreover, the end frames and the side-frames can are attached to the base making the collapsible basket easy to assemble and collapse.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a basket, especially to a collapsible basket formed by mounting a base frame to multiple frames.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Various products have been manufactured for storage and to ease transportation of smaller items including boxes and baskets. The boxes are commonly formed rigidly and are sealable and used for long-term storage to guard against dust. Conversely, the basket comprises open interlaced fibers of metal, plastic or dried organic matter such as wicker or rattan, and is used for storing and transporting items in frequent use, for example, documents in an office.[0005]The basket can be stored on a flat surface such as a floor or a shelving unit or hung on hooks or fastening devices. The basket can be produced using a variety of methods commonly known in the art.[0006]With reference to FIGS. 8 and 9, a conventional basket has a base (80), multiple frames (81)...
