It is in full and incorporated by reference at this for the disclosure of each in these applications.
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to and seals part, more specifically, relates to cabinet.
Background technology
Conventional cabinet can be made by the relative heavier material such as timber or metal.This may increase the weight of cabinet unfriendly, and may increase the cost of these cabinets of transportation.In addition, bigger weight may cause the assembling of cabinet very difficult and/or consuming time.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, exist eliminating or reduce the demand of the cabinet of above-mentioned shortcoming and problem.
An aspect is to comprise the cabinet of one or more sidewalls, upper wall and lower wall.Cabinet also can comprise one or more shelves.Cabinet can further comprise one or more rear walls and one or more door.Described wall, shelf or door can comprise and engaging and/or lap, the size of these joints and/or lap and structure be designed to utilize for example engage, friction and/or interference engagement and be engaged with each other and/or overlapping.Advantageously, this joint and/or lap can help the interconnection of cabinet parts.In addition, joint and/or lap can help to strengthen and/or strengthen cabinet, and can help to prevent the parts bending of cabinet.In addition, joint and/or lap also can help to prevent to form the gap between the parts of cabinet.
Another aspect is that lower wall and sidewall can comprise that its size and structure can be designed to be engaged with each other and/or overlapping one or more parts.Importantly, if the joint of lower wall and sidewall and/or lap are engaged with each other, then sidewall can advantageously help to support lower wall.For example, sidewall can comprise the projection of one or more formation flanges, and lower wall can comprise one or more parts that are bearing on the described flange, thereby allows the side wall support lower wall.In addition, sidewall can comprise one or more holding portions that hold the lower wall part.
Another aspect is, can comprise the cabinet of one or more parts that are made of plastics.For example, cabinet can comprise one or more walls, the shelf that utilizes mould process for example and be made of plastics, and/or door.
Another aspect is to comprise the cabinet of the parts that are made of blow molded plastic.For example, the wall of cabinet and/or shelf can utilize blowing processing to be made of plastics.The interior section that wall that blow molded plastic constitutes and shelf can comprise hollow can be formed integrally as the interior section of hollow the part of whole single type structure during blowing processing.The interior section of this hollow can help to make the weight of cabinet lighter relatively, so be easier to move and cost of transportation lower.Cabinet also can comprise one or more microscler reinforcements, for example metal tube or rod, and it can strengthen and/or strengthen described wall and shelf.For example, one or more reinforcements can be connected to described wall and shelf and/or be arranged in described wall and the shelf, to help to strengthen and/or strengthen described wall and shelf.For example, sidewall and/or shelf can comprise holding portion, and the size of this holding portion and structure can be designed to hold the part of one or more reinforcements, and described reinforcement can extend and/or be connected to sidewall between sidewall.Advantageously, when reinforcement extended between sidewall and/or is connected to sidewall, reinforcement can help to strengthen, strengthens and/or support lower wall.
Another aspect is, a kind of erecting device, and its size and structure can be designed to cabinet is installed on the stayed surface, as wall or other stayed surface.Described erecting device can comprise for example support.Cabinet can comprise upper wall, lower wall, the first side wall, relative second sidewall and rear wall.Sidewall can comprise that its size and structure can be designed to hold and/or keep one or more holding portions of support, and described support can extend and/or be connected to sidewall between sidewall.Support can comprise one or more isolated openings, one or more securing members can be inserted these openings so that with support and then also cabinet is connected to wall or stayed surface.Support can for example comprise isolated many to opening, spacing distance be between about 14 to 18 inches (for example, about 16 inches), (for example, about 24 inches) between about 22 to 26 inches, other spacing distance that maybe described opening and securing member are alignd fastening isolated wall column.The extensible opening that passes in the support of securing member, and the also extensible if necessary rear wall that passes cabinet, but this is dispensable.
Another others is to be used for the erecting device of cabinet.Described erecting device and cabinet can be made of different materials and/or can have different characteristics.For example, erecting device can comprise the support that is made of metal, and the wall of cabinet can be made of the plastics such as blow molded plastic.Yet described wall can be made of the identical or similar material with identical or similar characteristics with support.
Another aspect is a kind of cabinet, and it can comprise that shelf and one or more its size and structure can be designed to support the support member of described shelf.Cabinet also can comprise wall, and described wall can comprise that its size and structure are designed to hold and/or keep the holding portion of described support member.The described accommodation section branch can utilize engaging, friction and/or interference engagement with support member and be connected.More specifically, one or more walls of cabinet can comprise conduit, and described conduit can comprise the holding portion that for example is provided with near the conduit end.Described conduit also can comprise the inclined-plane, and the size on this inclined-plane and structure can be designed to help described support member is directed in these holding portions.For example, support member can have the elongate structure that extends to second end from first end.First end of described support member can be inserted in first holding portion in the conduit of the first side wall.In when first end of described support member is inserted into described first holding portion, second end of described support member can be inserted in the conduit of the second relative sidewall.Then, second end of described support member can be moved up along the inclined-plane in the conduit of second sidewall, and be engaged in second holding portion in the conduit of second sidewall.This can advantageously utilize engaging, friction and/or interference engagement to come fastening support member.Therefore, conduit and/or inclined-plane can help support member guided with the wall of cabinet engage, friction and/or interference engagement.
