ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to improvements in the use of a wire basket of the type used for storage or the transporting of sundries in which, more particularly, the noted storage utility is significantly enhanced by the positioning of the wire basket within the convenient reach of the user.
EXAMPLES OF THE PRIOR ART
It is known by common experience that baskets favored for popular use are those of wire construction material because in this construction material there is adequate strength for their intended end purpose, and manufacturing expense is typically nominal and achieved using well known wire-bending and like manufacturing apparatus. Patents exemplifying the popularity of wire baskets are U.S. Pat. No. 3,489,385 for “General Utility Basket” issued to E. F. Dill, Jr. on Jan. 13, 1970, U.S. Pat. No. 3,532,246 for “Locker Basket” issued to P. J. Wenta on Oct. 6, 1970, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,422,556 for “Receptacles For Overhead Storage Systems” to Moore on Dec. 27, 1983, to mention but a few. As popular as is the prior art use of wire baskets, they should be more popular and used in circumstances not now contemplated in order to take greater advantage of their construction material and ease of economical manufacture.
Broadly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a wire basket usage overcoming the foregoing and other shortcomings of the prior art.
More particularly, it is an object of the present invention to locate the wire basket within the reach, and thus in the proximity, of the prospective user thereof, to thereby facilitate the handling management of the contents of the basket.
The wire basket more particularly is provided as an accessory to a computer, and underlying the present invention is the recognition that the attachment of the wire basket to the closure of the computer places it within convenient reach of the user of the computer. The attachment of the wire basket to the closure does not inhibit removal of the closure preparatory to servicing the operating components within the housing. Also, the attachment of the wire basket to the closure can be made permanent so that it can adequately withstand the abuse of wear and yet, due to the permanent attachment, if either the wire basket or the closure have to be replaced, this does not impose any financial burden since each is of a nominal cost.
