Claim:
1. A basket, comprising: a sidewall moveable between a first, expanded, sidewall configuration and a second, collapsed sidewall configuration; a base moveable between a first, lowered base configuration and a second, raised base configuration, the base securing the sidewall in the first, expanded sidewall configuration when the base is in the first, lowered base configuration; a lever disposed on the sidewall; a linkage mechanism located on the basket and configured such that rotation of the lever drives the base from the first, lowered base configuration to the second, raised base configuration when the sidewall is in the first, expanded, sidewall configuration; a resilient member disposed on the basket to reduce the force required to rotate the lever and move the base from the first lowered, base configuration into the second, raised base configuration.
