Abstract:
An improved basket construction is disclosed in which the sidewall of a conventionally constructed basket of interwoven strand material is provided with a plurality of stiff yet somewhat bendable wire rods vertically disposed within vertical spaces formed from laterally offset runs of such strand material. The ends of the wire rods are radially outwardly bent so as to encompass at least two of the runs forming the top sidewall edge so as to clench them into position and prevent them from unravelling. Also, some of the wire rods terminate in enlarged top loops which serve as attachment points to a line for suspending the baskets for hanging and the like.
