Abstract
A merchandise basket is provided with a U-shaped handle with a pair of legs straddling the sides of the basket and terminating in opposed, inwardly directed feet. Necked portions of the feet slidably and rotatably engage slots in the side walls of the basket. With the feet at the bottom of the slots, the handle is freely rotatable; but when the handle is lifted while in the vertical position, the sides of the feet engage notches in a flange which depends from an outwardly directed rim on the basket to preclude rotation of the handle.
