Abstract:
A rattan basket comprising:a first plan (1), a second plan (2) opposite to the first plan (1), a third plan (5) engaged with edges of the first and the second plans (1,2), a fourth plan (6) engaged with edges of the first and the second plans (1,2) and opposite to the third plan (5) and a bottom plan (7) engaged with edges of the first, the second, the third and the fourth plans (1,2,5,6);wherein the first plan (1) has a rectangle main frame (10) and two side frames (11) each securely mounted on opposite sides of the main frame (10);wherein the second plan (2) has a rectangle main frame (20) and two side frames (21) each securely mounted on opposite sides of the main frame (20);wherein the third and the fourth plans (5,6) respectively have a first and a second spaced horizontal rails (51,51',61,61') and a pair of spaced vertical rails (52,62);wherein the side frames (11,21) of the first plan (1) and the second plan (2) are hollow and the first and the horizontal rails (51,51'61,61') are also hollow;a first connector (3) has a first extension (31) to be inserted into one ends of the horizontal rail (51',61'), a second extension (32) to be inserted into one ends of the side frames (11,21) of the first and the second plans (1,2) and a third extension (33) to be inserted into one ends of the vertical rails (52,62);a second connector (3') has a first extension (31') to be inserted into the other end of the horizontal rails (51,61), a second extension (32') to be inserted into the other ends of the side frames (52,62) and a third extension (33') to be inserted into the other ends of the vertical rails (52,62); whereby the first connector (3) and the second connector (3') are able to connect the first, the second, the third and the fourth plans (1,2,5,6) together;wherein the first connector (3) further has a through hole (34) defined therethrough and two horizontal blind holes (35) defined therein;a bottom plan (7) having two hollow side frames (71) respectively and oppositely mounted on a rectangle main frame (70); anda third connector (4) has a base (41), a extension (42) formed to correspond to the through hole (34) and two horizontal rods (43) formed to correspond to the blind holes (35);whereby with the insertion of the extension (42) through the through hole (34) and into one distal end of the side frame (71) and the insertion of the horizontal rods (43) into the blind holes (35), the bottom plan (7) is thus secured with respect to the first, the second, the third and the fourth plans (1,2,5,6).
