That is, the frame assembly (20) includes a handle assembly (22) and a lower frame assembly (24). Unlike the prior art, however, the lower frame assembly (24) includes two side frame assemblies (26, 28) and a base assembly (29) with side members and cross members (30). The 5 side frame assemblies (26, 28) are coupled to the base assembly (29) and are structured to rotatably support a basket assembly (200). The basket assembly (200) may be rotatably coupled to the side frame assemblies (26, 28) and then the side frame assemblies (26, 28) can be coupled to the lower frame assembly (24). In this configuration, neither the side frame assemblies (26, 28) nor the base assembly (29) are spread during the coupling of the basket assembly (200) to the 0 frame assembly (20).1/6 76 22 10 74 70 300 18 26202 1 200 2872 12 2820 20 26 214 29 1 45 23 21 FIG. 1
