SIGNORS TO HASKELITE MANUFACTURING CORPORATION, CORPORATION OF NEW YORK SEPARAIBLE RADIOCABINET Application filed April 16,
The present invention has for its object to produce a simple and attractive cabinet for radio receiving sets or the like, so constructed and arranged that the parts of an instrument may be assembled on the member that forms the base of the cabinet while the base is separated from the bodyof the cabinet.
A further object of the present invention,
-is to produce a simple and novel'separable tailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 shows in perspective the four principal parts of our improved cabinet, separated from each other; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of the holding screws or bolts;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of an optional corner piece; Fig. 4 is a vertical section through one end of the cabinet. in its assembled form; Fig. 5 is a top plan view of one corner of the cabinet with the lid omitted; Fig. 6 is a section taken on line 6-6 of Fig. 4' Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a fragment of one ofthe corner clips for securing the sides of the shell or body together; and Fig. 8 is a sectiontaken on line 88 of Fig. 7.
Referring to the drawings, 1 represents a base of any suitable material resting on feet 2 that constitute nuts. In the top of the base, above each foot, is a hole 3 through which a screw or bolt may extend. There is also a continuous groove 4 cut into the top of the base a short distance from and parallel with the four edges. Where the base is rectangular, as shown, the continuous groove forms a rectangle similar to but smaller than the rectangle of the base. The body of the cabinet may conveniently consist of end walls 5 and side walls 6 fastened together in any suitable way. When the shell formedby securing the four walls together is lowered upon the base with the 1928. Serial no. @0507.
edges of its walls registering with the elements of the rectangular groove, the lower marginal portions of the walls enter the groove so as to interlock the shell with the base. The walls of the body or shell are preferably of thin light material that ma conveniently be secured together by clips such as best shown in Figs. 7 and 8. Each clip consists of a 'strip of metal bent along its longitudinal center line to form two wings at right angles to each other. The metal of each wing is punched out at'intervals to form sharp tongues 8. The panels that are to form the walls of the body or shell may have holes punched in them along their vertical edges in when the corner angles are set in the corners of the'structure formed by arranging thev four walls or panels in the form of abox open at the top and at the bottom. The tongues are longer than the thickness of the panels or walls, and therefore may be bent and laterally clenched on the outside of the shell.
A metal frame 9 is adapted to be set onejt0p of the body or shell. This frame is preferably made of sheet metal bent into the shape of an inverted trough whose sides are spaced apart a distance approximately equal to the thickness of the panels of which the body or shell is made, sothat the upper marginal portions of the walls of the shell or body will fit into the trough of the frame. In each corner of the metal frame is a gusset 10 perforated in the center. The parts are so proportioned that when a long' screw 11 is passed down through the perforation in one of the gussets, it may also pass through the underlying bolt hole in the base and be engaged with the combination nut and foot underlying that bolt hole. or shell and the base together by means screws.
If it is desired to conceal the clenched ends of the tongues on the fastening strips or clips,
Consequently the body of four long bolts or may be rigidly fastened metal outer corner. angles, such asshowmat; 12 in Fig. 3, may be set over the several corners of the bodymember. In the arran e- I v ment shown, the continuous groove 4in t e base is widened at each corner, as indicated at 13, so that the lower ends of the ornamental corner angles '12 may be inserted in the ooves, while the upper ends may be slipped into the trough of the overlying frame; t us avoiding the use of screws, nails or other fastenings.
The cabinet may have a lid 14 connected to the frame 9 by means of hinges 15.
m It will thus be seen that we have produced a simple and novel cabinet that will permit the parts of a radio receiving set or the like to be assembled on a simple base which afterwards becomes the bottom of a cabinet provided with a movable lid or cover to give access to the interior of the cabinet. It will also be seen that the cabinet may easily be assembled by inexperienced persons; and, furthermore, if desired the entire structure may be shipped in a knocked-down position, the user fastening the four walls of the body or shell together by applying the pronged fastening strips in the manner previously explained. 25 While we have illustrated and described with particularity only a single preferred form of our invention, we do not desire to be limited to the exact structural details thus i1 lustrated and described but intend to cover 39 all forms and arrangements which come within the definitions of our invention constituting the appended claims. 1 We claim v 1. A radio cabinet or the like comprising a base having a continuous groove in the top, an open ended shell resting at one end in said groove, a frame resting on the upper edges of the sides of said shell, bolts extending from the frame down to the base, and a lid o hinged to said frame.
2. A radio cabinet or the like comprising a base havin a continuous groove in the top, an open-en ed shell resting atone end in said groove, said groove being widened adjacent \to the corners of the shell, corner angles fitting over the loose corners of the shell and pro ecting at their lower ends into the widen'ed portions of said grooves, and a frame on top of said shell and having a continuous groove into which fit the upper marginal portions of the shell and the upper marginal portions of said corner pieces. In testimony whereof, we sign this specification. GEORGE R. MEYERCORD.
