Abstract: A frictionally adjustable wire basket having a bottom or base section and a continuous, circumferential wall section connected thereto. The wall section is comprised of a plurality of intertwined, frictionally engaged resilient wire loops. Each of the wire loops also is connected to the base section in a hinged yet frictionally biased engagement. The basket wall can be moved in various configurations relative to the base section and secured in the desired configuration by the combination of the frictionally engaged intertwined wall loops and the frictionally engaged hinge connection. The wall is capable of movement about the hinged connection from a nearly vertical relationship to the base section to a flat arrangement for packing and shipping. The base section and the wall loops can be constructed from any appropriate resilient material such as wire.
