The disclosed invention is directed to wall-mounted baskets which are easily collapsible for cost effective transportation and which are assembled with ease by the end-user. The devices are characterized by unique, yet simple locking mechanisms permitting individual pieces of the basket to combine to form a stable receptacle with superior structural integrity.

A basket of collapsible construction for attachment to substantially vertical surfaces, said basket comprising: four individual members capable of being inter-lockedly assembled to form said basket, said members including three substantially rectangular walls including a front wall, a left wall, and a right wall, said walls capable of being assembled to form a bounded region having a four-sided cross-section when placed against a substantially vertical structure, each of said walls having at least two parallel center rods and at least two parallel outer rods; said front wall having a locking mechanism comprising a structural member of upward facing concavity formed as an extension of both said center rods of said front wall; said right wall comprising an upper left edge, an upper right edge, a lower left edge, a lower right edge, an upper hook extending from said upper left edge, a lower hook extending from said lower left edge, an upper mounting tip extending upwardly from said upper right edge, a lower mounting tip extending downwardly from said lower right edge, a loop formed by extending the right end rod downwardly and horizontally to terminate proximate said lower mounting tip, thereby forming a right aperture; said left wall comprising an upper left edge, an upper right edge, a lower left edge, a lower right edge, an upper hook extending from said upper right edge, a lower hook extending from said lower right edge, an upper mounting tip extending upwardly from said upper left edge, a lower mounting tip extending downwardly from said lower left edge, a loop formed by extending the left end rod downwardly and horizontally to terminate proximate said lower mounting tip, thereby forming a left aperture; and a four-sided base disposed within said cross-section formed by said three walls, said base comprising a front arm, a left arm forming an angle with said front arm, a rear arm forming an angle with said left arm and extending substantially parallel to said front arm, a right arm forming an angle with said rear arm and another angle with said front arm, a rear sliding pivot mechanism comprising a left end portion extending from said left arm, a right end portion extending from said right arm, said end portions being adapted for passage through a sliding engagement with said left aperture and said right aperture, a front locking mechanism comprising a structural member of downward facing concavity formed as an extension of said left arm and said right arm forwardly, downwardly, and toward each other until said two extensions meet at a position below the plane of said rods.
