Abstract
An attachment device is disclosed incorporating a self-returning hinge releasably joining a pair of prongs disposed on a basket frame with a flattened open end of a tubular handle member. A crimping device is carried at the joint operable to be forcibly compressed to crimp or frictionally engage the device with the flattened open end to secure the prongs in place. The frame and prongs are composed of a flexible spring metal so as to constitute a self-returning hinge when the frame is bent or pushed to-either side of a handle center line.
