Claims6
A mounting for supporting a basket upon a tubular frame which frame has a generally horizontal component and a generally vertical component, said mounting comprising in combination:
- (a) means for engaging the tubular frame, said means for engaging including means for inhibiting rotation of said mounting about each of a horizontal axis and a vertical axis of said mounting, said means for inhibiting including first means for capturing at least a part of the horizontal component of the frame to inhibit rotation of said mounting about the vertical axis of said mounting, said first means for capturing having a longitudinal axis intersecting the vertical axis of said mounting and second means for capturing at least a part of the vertical component of the frame to inhibit rotation of said mounting about the horizontal axis of said mounting, said second means for capturing having a longitudinal axis parallel with the vertical axis of said mounting;
- (b) a stanchion;
- (c) vertically oriented tube means attached to said engaging means for receiving said stanchion;
- (d) said tube means including means for vertically locating said stanchion relative to said tube means and for selectively retaining said stanchion at such location;
- (e) an arm;
- (f) means for securing the basket to said arm, said arm including a segment extending downwardly;
- and
- (g) a passageway disposed in said stanchion for receiving said segment;
- whereby, the basket is supported by said mounting through said stanchion.
