Description

PRIOR ART

[0001] Former bureaus are stationary housings for clothes. They have one purpose: storage. Drawers are not deep enough to store bulky clothes such as heavy sweaters and sweats shirts. They are not mobile or versatile. They must be placed on a slide to open. The slides can break.

[0002] Stackable container assembly is mobile but lacks stability for storing heavy laundry, etc. They will tumble over when drawer is pulled to far forward. There is no sense of furniture style. Their placement in the home is limited.

[0003] Hampers are box like storage pieces. They have limited use. One purpose is temporary storage of accumulated soiled clothes. Some are portable but can not become part of the bureau housing.

[0004] This invention relates to improvements in bureaus and other similar objects. It is designed to house a plurality of baskets. The side (FIG. 3) of the bureau is simply channeled (FIG. 2) in such a way that it will accept a basket (FIG. 4) with a rounded reinforced rim. This channel (FIG. 2) will not allow a basket (FIG. 4) to fall out when extended forward. It will allow for easy removal of basket (FIG. 4).

[0005] The basket (FIG. 4) is an integral part of bureau. The rim (FIG. 5) is made of heavy plastic tubular in shape to fit the hand comfortably. The basket slopes slightly for easier carrying. Separators (FIG. 6) will help arrange clothes.

[0006] The term “bureau housing” is not to be understood as a limiting term, i.e. such a storage receptacle can also have various sub uses for transportable supplies such as in closets for storage, kitchen cabinet for vegetables, sheds for gardening equipment, toy storage, tools etc.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

[0007] The primary object of my invention is to ease the process of storing clean clothes, transporting of dirty clothes to washer and return to storage in same baskets.

[0008] The special designed basket when emptied of clean clothes is placed in the hamper box where the soiled clothes that were deposited into the hamper Basket are removed and transported to the laundry area to be cleaned in the washing machine. After drying, clothes are placed in the same basket, separated with separators if necessary and than returned to empty channel in furniture piece. This process eliminates the need for transferring of clothes into basket and out of basket several times prior to and including entering the bureau housing into furniture piece.

[0009] The above and other details of the invention, including various novel details of construction and combinations of parts, will now be more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be understood that the particular embodiment herein disclosed is presented by way of illustration only and not as a limitation of the invention, and that the principles and features of this invention may be employed in various and numerous embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention.

Claims

1. What I, Irene Farmer, claim as my invention is a specially designed furnit ure housing. The housing has a unique groving designed to accept specificly designed plastic baskets. The groves are tapered in such away that they will accept the baskets easily but when pulled extremely forward they must be raised slightly to remove. I, Irene Farmer, claim as my invention a basket made for fitting into my specially designed housing. It has a thick round rim to enable easy carrying and to add strength. None of the other drawer or basket designs offer these unique features. What I, Irene Farmer, claim as my design is a combination of baskets and housing that will enable an easier and more conveint way of transporting and storing than has been previously devised.
