Abstract
A heat treating basket for receiving objects that are subjected to a heat treatment which comprises a bottom grating (10) the rim of which carries vertical struts (15) projecting in the upwardly direction. The upper ends of the struts are connected by a frame (16). In order to avoid breaks due to different thermal expansions of the bottom grating (10) and the frame (16) the horizontal struts (11,12) of the bottom grating (10) that are positioned in the vicinity of the corners of the heat treating basket are connected with the lower rim (14) of the bottom grating (10) by coupling members (21) which permit a lateral clearance.
