Definitions

  • the invention concerns a metallic cabinet or locker assembled together from planar or sheet elements and it also extends to all elements by means of which the planar elements can be securely assembled together to form the metallic cabinet or locker.
  • the arrangement for connecting the elements together involves a recess formed in one side of a tube, at the depth of the thickness of the tube wall, which tube forms part of the frame bounded by planar sheets or plates and this recess is identical with the cross-section of the tube end of another tubular element to be connected to it.
  • the latter has two oppositely facing guide pins which project to the wall of the adjacent tubular element.
  • the arrangement also contains an arcuate leaf spring fitted with pins accommodated in the recesses.
  • This known apparatus enables finless tubes or tube sections to be rapidly connected together and disconnected from each other.
  • the formation of the matching or engaging parts of the tubes is relatively simple but a disadvantage of this construction is that it can only be realised with tubes bounded by planar sheets. This characteristic significantly hinders the adoption on a wide scale of this solution because most of the bodies, bounded by planar sheets, are formed as rigid, indivisible bodies and consequently, the resulting high price will almost certainly prevent this solution from being adopted on a wide scale.
  • GB-1 048 108 there is known a metallic cabinet assembled from planar sheet elements, means being provided for securing the sheet elements together, and columns being provided with longitudinal recesses adapted for receiving parts of those sheet elements which form the boundary surface of the cabinet.
  • the manner of connecting the columns to, and disconnecting them from, the sheet elements is cumbersome.
  • An aim of the invention is to produce a metallic cabinet assembled, or assemblable, from planar elements with the use of fittings for fastening these elements together, in which the disadvantages of the known solutions are eliminated or substantially reduced, which can be made from cheap material (possibly largely from waste material), by means of simple technology, the transport and storage of which in the dismantled state enables the maximum exploitation of the available volume and which furthermore, enables the realisation in the course of their simple assembly, of cabinets or lockers based on a modular system and cabinet "families".
  • a metallic cabinet which is characterised in that the columns have at least four edges and each recess of the columns is formed by an opening along one face thereof in the form of a longitudinal slit, the slit being adapted for receiving the rims of at least two of said sheets which form the boundary surfaces of the cabinet, and in that further ones of said sheet elements extend perpendicularly to the columns and are fixed to the ends of the columns by said fastening means which latter are releasable connection means.
  • the technical solutions according to our invention may very advantageously be used in cases where a relatively large number of cabinets or lockers have to be disposed in the stores of production plants or commercial stores or even on the carrier surfaces of transport devices.
  • the transportation or storage in the assembled condition requires much space and very considerably increases the costs per cabinet.
  • the cabinets made according to our invention can be assembled together in situ by means of fixing fittings arranged at corners or edges of the cabinets or lockers.
  • the releasable connections are expediently formed as screw connections or as flanges.
  • Cabinets with doors may be formed also.
  • Several cabinet compartments may be formed in one member so that each of these compartments has an individual door and the compartments are separated by partitioning walls.
  • the frame or skeleton of the metallic cabinet according to the preferred embodiment of the invention is made up of columns or posts 1, as shown in Figures 1 to 4.
  • These columns or posts 1 are produced from sheet metal or planar plates by multiple bending.
  • Each of the columns 1 has at least four longitudinal edges while one side thereof has a lon- gitudunal recess or slit 2 as a consequence of bending the sheets, the recess or slit 2 being parallel with the edges.
  • Planar sheets 3 forming the boundary surfaces of the cabinets fit either in the slits 2 or to the bent edges and to this end have suitably formed rims or edges 4 shown in Figures 5, 5a, 6 and 9.
  • Threaded nuts are secured, e.g. welded, to the ends of the posts 1.
  • the bent sheet ends carry the threaded nuts, as may be seen in Figure 2, and are bounded by inclined, bent or subsequently welded sheet sides which are subsequently bent to a rectangular configuration, as shown in Figure 4.
  • Afurther sheet 5 is connected to the upper parts of the columns 1. This sheet 5 is connected to the ends of the columns 1 by screw connections 6 that include the threaded nuts secured to the ends of the columns.
  • the screw connections 6 fix the positions of the sheets 3 and 5 which are oriented or located by the slits 2 in the columns 1 and the rims 4 of the above-mentioned sheets.
  • One side of the thus formed cabinets is formed as a door 8 connected to the frame by hinges 7.
  • the lower part of the cabinets is provided with per se known feet 10.
  • the cabinets may be formed in various sizes.
  • the number of columns 1 may be appropriately multiplied and individual cabinet compartments or cubicles are separated from each other by partitioning walls 9.
  • Figure 9 shows a unitary package suitable for transportation and illustrating one member of a family of cabinets where the feet, doors, shelves and columns are located between mutually facing sheets 3. In this way, a maximum utilisation of the storage and transport capacity can be achieved since in their Figure 9 condition the cabinets only occupy a fraction of their original volume.
