The present invention relates to a basket including a carrying apparatus.
Referring to
The present invention is therefore intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems encountered in the prior art.
It is the primary objective of the present invention to provide a safe carrying apparatus that cannot cut a users' fingers.
According to the present invention, a carrying apparatus includes a metal basket and a metal frame. The metal basket includes a bottom and a wall attached to the bottom. The wall includes an upper edge and a bent connection extending from the wall to the upper edge. The metal frame includes a vertical portion, a first horizontal portion, a bent connection extending from the vertical portion to the first horizontal portion, a second horizontal portion, a retroflex connection extending from the first horizontal portion to the second horizontal portion, a rolled edge extending from the second horizontal portion. The bent connection of the basket is clamped between the bent connection and the rolled edge of the frame. Therefore, the frame is secured to the basket.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description in conjunction with the attached drawings.
The present invention will be described via detailed illustration of the preferred embodiment referring to the drawings.

Referring to
The frame 20 includes a vertical portion 21, a first horizontal portion 22, a bent connection 23 extending from the vertical portion 21 to the first horizontal portion 22, a second horizontal portion 24, a retroflex connection 25 extending from the first horizontal portion 22 to the second horizontal portion 24, and a rolled edge 26 extending from the second horizontal portion 24.
Referring to
Due to the elasticity of the rolled edge 26, the bent connection 14 is firmly clamped between the bent connection 23 and the rolled edge 26. Therefore, the frame 20 is secured to the basket 10, saving the soldering required in making the conventional carrying apparatus addressed in the Background of Invention. Moreover, the rolled edge 26 obviously cannot cut users' fingers.
The present invention has been described via detailed illustration of the preferred embodiment. Those skilled in the art can derive variations from the preferred embodiment without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the preferred embodiment shall not limit the scope of the present invention defined in the claims.
