Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Field of industrial application" This invention relates to a net basket that can be used as a household vegetable basket, laundry basket, or other storage basket.

``Prior Art'' Conventionally, this type of storage basket has been made of a rectangular parallelepiped mesh basket whose four outer periphery and bottom surfaces are integrally and continuously formed, with handles provided at the opening edge of the top surface.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' By the way, in the case of the above-mentioned integral solid mesh basket, if each item is packed individually when transporting it as a product, each basket will form an internal space and become bulky. It is inconvenient to transport a large number of materials due to their huge volume.
Furthermore, when storing one or more items at home, it takes up a lot of space, making it difficult to find a place to store them.

Therefore, in this invention, in order to avoid the bulk of many baskets during transportation, by folding them one by one, stacking them one on top of the other, and packing an appropriate number into one package, it is easier to transport and save on freight and loading costs, and it can also be handled at home. The aim is to provide a mesh basket that is convenient for storage and storage.

"Means for Solving the Problem" In order to achieve the above objective, the four outer circumferential surfaces and the bottom surface of the net basket are formed individually, and the four outer circumferential surfaces can be rotated with respect to each other at the four jointed corners of the net basket. The outer circumferential surface part can be folded and unfolded by being pivoted to the outer circumferential frame, and the bottom mesh surface is fitted to the inner bottom of the outer circumferential frame expanded into a square shape to form a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped basket. It is constructed so that the handle can be removably hung on the outer periphery, and in the shaft attachment parts on the four outer circumferential surfaces, each side end of the top edge material and bottom edge material of each mesh surface is connected from the edge of the mesh surface side. The extension part is provided in an extended manner, and the extended part is curved and protruded inward in the same circular arc shape, and the ends of both adjacent curved protrusions are vertically overlapped with each other, and the overlapping part can be mutually rotated with a shaft. By connecting to the outer circumference, the four mesh surfaces of the outer periphery can be folded and unfolded.

"Function" The curved protrusions of each of the top and bottom edges of the outer circumference of the cage are overlapped and connected to each other by a shaft so that the outer circumference of the cage can be folded. It is expandable, and when the bottom mesh surface is fitted to the bottom of the expanded rectangular frame body, the four sides of the bottom mesh surface contact the inner surfaces of the four outer peripheral mesh surfaces and protrude outward, causing the outer periphery to Since the deformation of the cage is suppressed and the cage is fixed in a rectangular shape, a rectangular parallelepiped solid cage is formed as a whole as shown in FIG.

Then, when the bottom net surface is taken out from inside the outer circumferential frame and both diagonal corners of the outer circumferential frame are pressed inward from both the front and back, the four outer circumferential surfaces mutually rotate at the four corners, as shown in Fig. 2. It is folded into a flat shape and eliminates the space within the frame, resulting in a small volume.

"Example" Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a mesh basket according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded view thereof, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view of the main folded part thereof, cut in the middle.

This mesh basket has four outer peripheral mesh surfaces and a bottom mesh surface formed separately from each other, and the four outer peripheral mesh surfaces are connected at the four corners so that they can be folded and unfolded, but the bottom mesh surface is formed on the bottom. It is a foldable net basket constructed by inlaying,
The four outer circumferential mesh surfaces 1, 2, 3, and 4 are formed by cross-connecting a large number of vertical wire rods A and horizontal wire rods in the form of a base pattern, and a flat band-like surface is formed along the inside of the upper edge. Top edge materials 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a are attached, and similar bottom edge materials 1b, 2 are attached along the inside of the lower edge.
b, 3b, and 4b are attached, and both ends of the top edge material and bottom edge material are extended from the mesh surface side edge, and are curved inwardly in the same circular arc shape, so that they are mutually connected at the four corners of the outer periphery. The two adjacent curved protrusions C and D are vertically overlapped and the overlapping portions are mutually rotatably connected by a shaft 6, thereby connecting the four mesh surfaces so that they can be folded and unfolded. Of the four mesh surfaces, the bottom edges 1b and 2b of the front mesh surface 1 and the rear mesh surface 2 are bent downward into a U-shape to form protrusions 7 and 7'. These protrusions are used as legs. Furthermore, left screen surface 3
The upper ends of the two vertical lines at the center of the right mesh surface 4 are made to continue and project upward from the outside of the upper edge material in an arc shape to form a hook ring 9.

Similarly to the outer mesh surface, the bottom mesh surface 5 is also formed by cross-linking vertical wires A'... and horizontal wires R'... in the shape of a base mesh, and is formed to a size such that it can be fitted into the outer peripheral mesh surface. The outer circumferential portion is fixed in a square shape by inserting it through the upper end opening of the outer circumferential mesh surface, fitting it into the bottom portion, and placing it on the bottom edge material.

The handle 8 has hooks 8a, 8a formed in the shape of a slightly elongated fishhook at both lower ends of a wire bent into a substantially gate shape, and a handle protrusion 8b at the horizontal center of the upper end.
has been composed. And the hook 8 is attached to the hook ring 9.
By inserting and hooking a, the handle 8 is attached to the upper edge of the casing.

Since the operation of the present invention is as described in the "Operation" section above, the explanation will be omitted to avoid duplication.

``Effect of the invention'' The mesh basket according to the invention has a configuration in which each separately formed outer peripheral mesh surface can be folded and unfolded at the joint of the husband and husband. It is convenient to transport because it allows things to be packed together, and it is also convenient to handle because it does not take up a lot of space for storage.

In addition, since the top and bottom edges of each screen surface are formed in an arc shape at the shaft attachment part at the four corners of the outer periphery, each corner is smooth and there is no risk of injury even if the corner hits the human body, making it safe. Moreover, the basket has a good appearance and is convenient to use and carry.

Therefore, it is possible to achieve the intended purpose, reduce the packaging costs and shipping costs of the product, lower the cost, and provide a net basket that can be provided at low cost and is convenient for handling at home.
