Abstract: A liner and lining system for use with an upwardly-opening container, in which the liner includes a storage receptacle such as a pocket. The lining system comprises a liner body received within the container and an insert received within the liner body. The liner body includes a flap with a storage receptacle. The flap extends from the body, folds over the top portion of the insert and hangs into the interior of the insert. The insert anchors the liner body in a desired position within the container. The engagement of the insert by the flap further assists in maintaining the liner body in a desired position and preventing the liner body from sagging when items are placed in the storage receptacle.

Abstract: A form for making a stepped-bottom basket including a three-dimensional L-shaped frame vertically partitioned into two segments that are releasably fastenable to one another. The first segment includes top, front, rear and side walls that define the shape of the interior of the deep portion of the stepped bottom basket and the second segment includes top, front, rear and side walls that define the shape of the interior of the shallow portion of the stepped bottom basket. The second segment may include an integral splint guide capable of receiving inner reinforcement splints for the bottom of the shallow upper basket portion. Adjacent walls of the segments may be adapted for securely fitting and fastening the segments together.
