Abstract
Example embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to basket and rail assemblies. In one example embodiment, a basket and rail assembly generally includes a slide rail, a basket including a plurality of wires, and at least one support configured to be coupled to the slide rail. The support includes at least one groove configured for receiving at least one wire of the plurality of wires of the basket for releasably coupling the basket to the slide rail.
Claims12
A basket and rail assembly comprising:
- a slide rail;
- at least one support configured to be coupled to the slide rail, each support including a groove formed therein;
- and
- a basket comprising a plurality of wires including a plurality of support wires, a plurality of base wires, and at least one rim wire,
- the plurality of support wires being substantially parallel to one another, the plurality of support wires each being substantially U-shaped and having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a middle portion,
- the plurality of base wires substantially parallel to one another and substantially perpendicular to the plurality of support wires, the plurality of base wires each being substantially U-shaped and having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a middle portion,
- wherein the middle portion of each base wire is directly coupled to the middle portion of each of the plurality of support wires, wherein the at least one rim wire is coupled to and extends across at least one of the first and second end portions of each of the base wires, wherein at least one hook portion is integrally defined by two of the base wires at the first and second end portions thereof such that the at least one hook portion extends upwardly relative to the at least one rim wire,
- wherein the least one hook portion is configured to be positioned within the groove of the at least one support for releasably coupling the basket to the slide rail.

A basket and rail assembly comprising:
- a slide rail assembly including a mounting rail configured for mounting to a support surface, an intermediate rail arranged to slidingly engage the mounting rail, and a slide rail is arranged to slidingly engage the intermediate rail;
- at least one support configured to be coupled to the slide rail assembly, the at least one support including at least one groove formed therein, wherein the groove is substantially parallel to the slide rail when the at least one support is coupled to the slide rail assembly;
- a basket comprising a plurality of wires including a plurality of support wires, a plurality of base wires, and at least one rim wire, the plurality of support wires being substantially parallel to one another, the plurality of support wires each being substantially U-shaped and having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a middle portion,
- the plurality of base wires substantially parallel to one another and substantially perpendicular to the plurality of support wires, the plurality of base wires each being substantially U-shaped and having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a middle portion,
- wherein the middle portion of each base wire is directly coupled to the middle portion of each of the plurality of support wires, wherein the at least one rim wire is coupled to and extends across at least one of the first and second end portions of each of the base wires, wherein at least one hook portion is integrally defined by two of the base wires at the first and second end portions thereof such that the at least one hook portion extends upwardly relative to the at least one rim wire,
- wherein the least one hook portion is configured to be positioned within the groove of the at least one support for releasably coupling the basket to the slide rail assembly.
