Application January 15, 1947, Serial No. 722,229
1 Claim. 1
The present invention concerns a Woven metal basket and refers more particularly to a basket of metal strips Woven and fastened together in novel manner.
An object of the present invention is the provision of a basket of novel appearance.
A further object is that the basket shall be easy to keep clean.
A still further object is that the basket shall be substantially free of protruding ends of the metal strips of which it is fabricated.
Another object is the provision of novel means for fastening the basket together.
Still another object is the provision of a pattern of basket weaving possessing the maximum strength.
In accomplishing the objects of the present invention the basket is woven of longitudinal and lateral metal strips, both of which are continued from the basket bottom up, the four sides thereof being Woven with perimetral strips which extend horizontally each in a separate substantially vertical plane to form the basket sides. A binding strip of substantially inverted U cross section engages the ends of the upturned longitudinal and lateral strips, its own two ends being joined together and to one of the upturned ends by a rivet. Said binding strip is further fastened to at least one of the other upturned ends at a point substantially perimetrally opposite the rivet, said fastening being preferably by means of the interengagement of specially created surfaces formed on the binding strip and. the upturned member, both of which members are somewhat resilient.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claim in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:
Fig. 1 is a top elevational view of the basket, showing the interior thereof.
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 22 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4--4 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 6 is a front elevational view of the quarter spherical button formed on the binding strip as a fastening means, the binding strip being shown fragmentarily.
Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing a further modified form of the invention.
Referring now in detail to the drawings, the
2 basket [5 comprises the longitudinal metal strips ll, I2 and I3 and lateral metal strips l4, l5, l6, l1 and i8. All the strips being preferably of light, corrosion resisting material such as aluminum or magnesium. Strips ll, [2 and I3 have their respective end portions I9, 20, 2|, 22, 23 and 24 upturned to constitute portions of the end walls 25 and 25 of basket ill, the main or longitudinally central portions of the strips II to H8 inclusive being woven to form the floor portion 21 of basket in, defining spaces 28 having substantial length and breadth in the plane of floor 21. The lateral strips 4 to H3 inclusive have their end portions 29 to 33 inclusive upturned to constitute portions of the side wall portions 39 and 48) of basket Ill.
A binding strip 4| of substantially inverted U cross section engages all the upturned end portions of the longitudinal and lateral strips, strip 4| extending perimetrally of basket I!) and comprising the outer portion 42 extending outside the upturned portions and the inner portion 43 extending inside the upturned portions extending exteriorly and interiorly respectively of the upturned end portions l9 to 24 and 29 to 38, strip 4! being generally rectangular in its extension along the sides and ends of basket I'0. The two ends of strip All are joined together and to side wall portion 39 longitudinally midway thereof by rivet 44 which extends through strip 41 and the free end of portions 33 of lateral strip [6, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3.
Five perimetrally extending metal strips 45 to 49 inclusive combine with the upturned end portions of the longitudinal and lateral strips to constitute the side walls 39 and and end walls 25 and 26 of basket I0, being interwoven with said upturned portions. Strip has one end portion 59 concealed and protected between its main portion and portion 32 of strip l5, the other end portion 5| being concealed and protected between the main portion of strips 45 and portion 34 of strip Hi, the latter being adjacent strip l5 as illustrated. Similarly, end portion 52 of strip 41 and end portion 53 of strip 49 are concealed and protected between the main portions of their respective strips and portion 32 of strip I5, while the other end portions 54 and 55 of strips 41 and 49 are concealed and protected between the main portions of the strips 41 and 49 and portion 34 of strip Hi. It will be noted that all the end portions through are located in wall portion 40. Wall 40 further comprises portions of the perimetral strips 46 and 48 which are continuous throughout the length of wall 40, thereby preventing wall 40 from coming undone by reason of the longitudinal separation of the free ends 59 through 55.
The free end portions 56 and 51 of strips 46 and 48 are located in wall 39 and concealed and protected between the main portions of their respective strips and portion 35 of strip H. The opposite end portions 58 and 59 of strips 46 and 48 are protected and concealed between the main portions of their respective strips and portion 31 of strip l8, also in wall 39. Wall 39 is provided with longitudinal rigidity by continuous portions of the strips 45, 47 and 49, thus preventing the free end portions 56, 57, 58 and 59 from coming undone by reason of longitudinal separation.
In Fig. 7 a handle 70 is shown to be secured to the end walls 71 and 72 by rivets 13 or the like. In other respects this form of the invention is similar to the previous form and corresponding parts may be recognized by similar reference numerals.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I 4 claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent, is:
In a basket having integral bottom and side walls formed of interwoven crossing flat metal strips with certain of the strips forming the side walls being extended vertically, a strip of resilient material and of inverted U-shape engaged over the top ends of the vertically extended strips of said side walls, said strip having its free ends overlapped upon the top end of one of the fiat vertically extended strips, a rivet engaged through the overlapped free ends of said strip and the said one top end securing together said overlapped ends of said strip and said one top end, and interengaging means securing a diametrically opposite portion of said strip to the top end of a diametrically opposite vertically extended flat strip, said latter-mentioned selcuring means comprising .a semi-circular button stamped from one wall of said inverted U-shaped strip of material, said button having a straight bottom edge, and a semi-circular button having a straight bottom edge stamped from the top end of said diametrically opposite vertically extended strip and engaging said button of said strip.
