Abstract:

The present invention, hereinafter referred as the Laundry Buddy, is a specially designed laundry basket, comprising heavy duty wheeled castors which facilitate three hundred sixty degrees of rotation and an easily attached handle that enables the user to effortlessly transport the basket about the home. The Laundry Buddy boasts a mesh-like grate on the sidewalls, facilitating the free flow of air about laundry contained within. Positioned at each end of the unit are integrated handles for use in easily lifting the basket off the ground. Further, a recessed niche is centrally positioned on one end of the unit, inside of which, a sturdy handle is easily attached via an interlocking hinged fastener. As an added design feature, this handle is comprised of retractable, telescoping components and thus rests flush against the side of the basket when not in use, extending several feet in length when fully extended to accommodate the stature of an adult user. A nonskid, oval shaped handgrip is perpendicularly attached to the top of the handle, facilitating easy maneuvering of the Laundry Buddy.
