ABSTRACT:
A clothes hamper includes rotatable partition walls which divide the hamper into subcompartments of differing capacities according to the amount of clothing in that subcompartment. A conventional hamper may be divided with a free standing insert placed in the hamper compartment and comprising a rear wall to which one or more partition walls are rotatably secured. The insert comprises thermoplastic corrugated sheets having longitudinal cells. A U-shaped wire hinge is inserted in a corresponding cell at opposing ends of the partition wall and rear wall, the hinge having bulbus thermoplastic ends for interference fit with the corrugation cell walls to frictional and rotatably secure the legs of the hinge in place.
