Foldable walker apparatus

In combination, a collapsible walker and a collapsible basket, the walker including a pair of spaced-apart, operatively interconnected frame members, the frame members each having an upper end for placing one's hand and a lower end spaced-apart from the upper end, ground-engaging wheels rotatably mounted to the lower ends of the frame members, and a folding mechanism for allowing the frame members to be brought together for folding the walker, the folding mechanism being configured to fold the walker laterally, the collapsible basket being configured to collapse laterally and including:

• a pair of spaced-apart, flat end members, each having a respective rigid peripheral portion and being connectable with a respective one of said frame members, the rigid peripheral portions of the end members each comprising a respective wire loop, each of the end members having one from the group consisting of an insert and a connection bracket shaped to slidably receive the insert and each of the frame members having a corresponding other one from the group consisting of the insert and the connection bracket, the end members connecting to and being readily removable from the respective frame members thereby;
• and
• a basket member, the basket member being made of flexible material, the basket member having a top facing the upper ends of the frame members, the top having an opening thereon for inserting objects into the collapsible basket, the basket member having a bottom opposite the top that extends between the end members, and the basket member having two spaced-apart sides extending respectively from both the top and bottom and between the end members, the sides being made of netting, the basket member extending substantially about, extending between and being supported by said wire loops, the end members being moveable towards each other and the basket member thereby folding to collapse the basket when folding the walker.
