DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The basket (1) can have different dimensions of length×width×height, these three being the preferred ones: 50×30×10 cm, 30×20×10 cm and 40×25×18 cm.

[0033] FIG. 1 is an external view of the technical plan of the basket (1) with internal dimensions 50×30×10 cm before assembly, showing its constructive details: lines/creases (4), cuts/slits (5 and 5.1), folds (6) and fittings (7) that give it its final shape and reinforce its resistance.

[0034] FIG. 2 is an external view of the technical plan of the basket (1) with internal dimensions 30×20×10 cm before assembly, showing its constructive details: lines/creases (4), cuts/slits (5 and 5.1), folds (6) and fittings (7) that give it its final shape and reinforce its resistance.

[0035] FIG. 3 is an external view of the technical plan of the basket (1) with internal dimensions 40×25×18 cm before assembly, showing its constructive details: lines/creases (4), cuts/slits (5 and 5.1), folds (6) and fittings (7) that give it the final shape and reinforce resistance.

[0036] The handles (2 and 2.1) of the basket (1) are made of 5 mm kraft twisted cord (2), as can be seen in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6, or with the basket material itself (2.1), as can be seen in FIGS. 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.

[0037] The basket (1) will have spaces (3) reserved for advertising products and brands. On the two smaller sides, which are on opposite sides, the upper left and right corners will be used, in addition to the central region, to highlight the attributes of the basket and the brand of the establishment, as highlighted in FIGS. 4 and 5. On both sides of larger dimensions, which are also on opposite sides, the upper and apparent field of the baskets, when stacked, will be reserved for the advertisement of brands and products, as highlighted in FIG. 6. Such formatting consists of a minimum standard for the disposition of information in order to guarantee the identity of the basket, but which may undergo changes to the convenience of the brand or establishment.

[0038] FIG. 7 is an external view of the technical plan of the basket (1) with internal dimensions 40×25×18 cm before assembly, showing its constructive details: handles (2.1) with the basket material itself (1), lines/creases (4), cuts/slits (5 and 5.2), folds (6) and fittings (7) that give it its final shape and reinforce its resistance.

[0039] The assembly of the basket (1) must be started by flexing all the creases (4) and making the folds from the outside to the inside, then folding the upper faces until the fittings (7) fit perfectly in the slits (5) existing at the bottom of the basket (1), as can be seen in FIG. 8.

[0040] Then, fold the handles (2.1) into the basket (1), passing one at a time through the slit (5.2) in the central region of the largest face, keeping them aligned. Then, the larger faces are folded so that fittings (7) fit perfectly into the slits (5) on the bottom of the basket (1), as can be seen in FIG. 9. To assemble the other side of the basket (1), repeat the same process as in the previous step. The handles (2.1) are passed through the slit (5.2) positioned in the central region of the largest face, always bending them from the outside to the inside and, finally, fixing the fittings (7) in the slits (5) existing at the bottom of the box (1), as shown in FIG. 10.

[0041] FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the basket (1) assembled with handles (2.1) made of its own material.

[0042] The present patent is based on the offer of an alternative to plastic (high density polyethylene), applied in the production of conventional shopping baskets or trays for carrying food or belongings, providing different sectors of the market with a product which is lighter, less aggressive to the environment and with a high potential for scale production, which replaces polluting materials with sustainable ones, resulting in functional improvement in its use, manufacture and disposal.
