Definitions

• the invention relates to cabinets preferably used for storing clothes and generally comprising several compartments, for example in the form of a locker.
• fastener an object of relatively small size, distinct from the elements of the cabinet, such as screw, bolt, plate or peg.
• this type of cabinet has several advantages, in particular that of being assembled quickly and being easily transportable in compact form, it results in certain disadvantages, among which a relative low rigidity of the assembly, a difficulty of assembly , disassembly and a higher risk of injury, due to the fact that the cabinet elements may have sharp edges.
• One of the aims of the present invention is to reinforce the rigidity of the cabinets which are devoid of fasteners.
• Another purpose is to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the cabinets.
• Another purpose is to reduce the assembly time of the elements, including the fixing of the doors.
• Another goal is to reduce the risk of injury during assembly.
• This concerns a cabinet comprising a plurality of rectangular vertical walls each having two vertical edges and two edges horizontal; characterized in that it comprises at least one elongated hollow element, arranged vertically and connected to - or part of - one of said walls, at its lower or upper part, and a connecting element formed of at least one horizontal part and a vertical part adapted to be housed inside the hollow element, the horizontal part being adapted to be fixed directly or indirectly to another element of the cabinet, distinct from the wall; on which is the hollow element.
• vertical edge shall be understood as an edge intended to be oriented vertically, ie perpendicular to the floor on which the cabinet rests when the latter is in its regular position.
• horizontal edge should include an edge oriented perpendicular to the orientation of the aforementioned vertical edge.
• the hollow member may be of any shape or size it only needs to be adapted to enhance the rigidity of the assembly once the vertical portion of the connecting member is housed therein.
• the hollow portion of the elongate member is oriented vertically.
• the connecting element is U-shaped, advantageously closed.
• each vertical portion is preferably intended to be housed inside an elongated element fixed or integral with a vertical wall.
• connection element or elements are preferably arranged in the lower part of the cabinet but can however also be, exclusively or not, towards the upper part.
• connecting element Any shape can be envisaged for the connecting element, provided that it fulfills its function as a stiffening element of the assembly.
• FIG. 1 shows an exemplary cabinet according to the invention, before being assembled.
• FIG. 2 shows the attachment of a two-wall connection element of the cabinet of FIG. 1.
• FIG. 3 shows various cabinets according to the invention
• FIG. 4 shows the door of a cabinet according to the invention
• Figure 5 shows the mechanism for fixing to the door of Figure 4
• the dismantled cabinet illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises five bins, four trays separating the bins, four vertical walls 1, an upper wall, a cap, a bottom wall, two U-shaped connecting elements and a support, the latter being formed. a frame supported by four feet.
• the connecting elements 5 are introduced into the hollow elements 4, by simple pressure of the hand or by means of a hammer.
• the bottom wall (bottom) and the top wall may comprise holes, through which connecting elements can pass.
• the assembly is carried out while maintaining the cabinet in vertical position it should be noted that this type of assembly can be performed by one person.
• the doors are fixed by simple click, using a rod mounted around a spring, all arranged in a U-shaped frame.
• the doors can be quickly mounted, it is also possible to replace them easily. It will be understood that the invention is not limited to a type or form of cabinet. Likewise any suitable material can be used.
