This basket is designed to aid the handicapped person in their daily activities which often require a way to move things from one place to another. It is collapsible and easily operated, and can be mounted, without assistance, to the armrests of a wheelchair by an occupant whose arms are still functional. This adjustable shopping basket for wheelchairs is designed to span the distance between the armrests and can be adjusted for a variety of wheelchair sizes and models. This collapsible basket has an integrally molded rectangular base housing with two sliding handle assemblies, each of which moves a support bar. Each support bar has two clamps which securely attach to each armrest. After the collapsed basket is connected to a wheelchair, it can be easily opened for use. The collapsible basket, base and sliding handle assembly are made of synthetic material. Two of the clamps are c-clamps; the other two are hinged to the support bar and are spring-loaded. Autonomous attachment and detachment of the device to a wheelchair offers independence to the user. There are no appendages to restrict a wheelchair occupant and the balance of the wheelchair is not impaired. The wheelchair can be operated within the usual space requirements while the basket is in place.
