Foldable basket

Abstract

A foldable basket has a basket body and a bottom plate. The basket body has two lateral plates, two folding sets, and a supporting cloth. The two lateral plates and the two folding sets are connected. The supporting cloth is connected to bottom edges of the two lateral plates and the two folding sets. A storage space is enclosed by the lateral plates, the folding sets, and the supporting cloth. The bottom plate is detachably disposed on a bottom of the basket body. Each folding set has multiple end plates connected in sequence. Each two adjacent end plates are connected via a conjoining plate being flexible. Two end plates of each folding set respectively disposed adjacent to the two lateral plates are connected to the two lateral plates via two corner linking plates being flexible respectively.
