Basket structure
A basket may include a main body and a side frame. The side frame surrounds at the portion of a connecting edge, and a first side and second side clamps with each other by applying a pressure on the side frame, so the first side clamps at an inner portion of the connecting edge and the second side clamps at an outer portion thereof. Thus, the side frame can be quickly connected with the main body without bending the connecting edge to a predetermined angle, which can simplify the assembly process and further reduce the production costs.
1. A basket comprising:
a main body having a connecting edge extending upwards at a periphery thereof; and
a side frame having a first side having a first flat portion and a second side having a curved portion integrally connected with a second flat portion, said side frame having an inner surface and an outer surface, and the side frame surrounding the connecting edge of the main body, so the first side disposed on an inner portion of the connecting edge and the second side disposed on an outer portion thereof; the first side and second side directly clamping the connecting edge when pressure applied to both sides of the side frame,
wherein the first flat portion of the first side is integrally connected with the curved portion of the second side; the inner portion of the connecting edge has an inner flat surface while the outer portion thereof has an outer flat surface; and a portion of the inner surface of the side frame at the first side attaches to the inner flat surface of the connecting edge while a portion of the outer surface of the side frame at the second side attaches to the outer flat surface thereof when the connecting edge is clamped, and a radius of curvature of the curved portion of the side frame is greater than a thickness of the connecting edge of the main body.
2. The basket of claim 1 , wherein the second side curledly clamps the connecting edge of the main body and forms an assisting portion to increase the strength of the basket structure.
3. The basket of claim 1 , wherein the main body has a bottom plate and a side board, and the side board forms a square with two openings, and the connecting edge is formed at a larger opening while a connecting portion is formed at a smaller opening, and the side board is connected with the bottom plate with the connecting portion.
4. The basket of claim 1 , wherein the main body is a rhombic mesh structure.
