The Prest-O-Lit'e Qompany, Inc., a corporation of New York The invention pertains to cabinets," and especiallyto those adapted for housing cylinders of fuel gas andassociated mechanism for delivering the gas to a supply pipe at a suitable-reduced; pressure. More specifically, the invention pertains to the improved structure-and novel features of such a cabinet.
cabinets of thisrtype are bulky and expensive to ship in assembled condition, and expensive and diflicult to assemble at the place of installation -when shipped in knockdown conditiom Therefore, one object of this invention is to provide a'cabinet that is compact in knockdown condition and also one that may be quickly and easily assembled at the place ofinstallation without special tools or skill.
Such'cabinets are often installed in places'exposed to local weather conditions; and when ice and snow have accumulated around sucha cabinet it is oftendiiicult to open it. Therefore,
another. object is to provide a cabinet that may rbeopened more easily under such conditions. -.,Cabinets of..tnis typeare usually-provided with doors carried by hinges mechanically secured to athe cabinet, and in:case of damage, such as the breakin'g 10f hinge, replacement is difiicult. Therefore, another object isito provide a cabiiinet in which the partssub'ject todamagemay be emorejreadily replaced...

Broadly, the invention comprises a cabinethaving side members securedto a' base,'a 'back= of sections interfittedftogether and with the side members, a top interfitted with -the 'sides and" back; and a removable front of two panels; and a door carried by a removable-transom that holds 1- the panels'in place.
- The cabinet comprises a base i i! Iof'suitable inaterial, preferably-ligneous; such "as yellow pine wood' treated or filled with-a preservative such as creosote oil. The front of base lilis provided witha ledgeii that formsa'stop for the lower 25 ends of the removable panels, and preferably-this ledge is covered witha'suitably formed wear re- "sisting sheet metal door' jamb or door sill l2 secured to base H2 byia conventionalmeans such as screws or .screwnailsi3j 1 :zontal slot or recess i ifor the loweredgeof a side member and the'portion IBof-eaoh end below slot I4 is 'siightlyiongerthan the portionabove the slot 'so that-it lies in a pl'ane'with the-outer 35 Th'ebase It] may bestiffened-by suitable means such as inlays or transverse metal strips 'lt and Ilset'in recesses of alike dimension at e'achlend of the upper surface and secured by'bolts'liior A0 other equivalent fastening; I The sides of the cabinet comprisecomplementary side members Hand 20, each having an inturned lower edge or flange 21 secured initscooperating'fslot M bya suitable numberofscrew- ,45 nailsZ Zleach in aligned openings in one endfof ,base nanny lfifand flange'ZI of oneof,theisitle,
members l9 and 2 ll.f The upperendsof side members 19 and 20 slope forward'ls'om'ewhatjand eachedge is provided ith a depending: entrant flange 22' spaced from the side membertir mg recess 23.
I The topyof the oabinet is providedwith agco rnice 2 5;along the front edge a cornice 2 5 along Each end of base [0 is provided'with a hori- If l9 and 20. The cornices, doorstop, and grooved 1 upper edges of corresponding slots 31 in the lower' members are preferably integral with top 24.
The back of the cabinet is formed of three sections 30," 3| and 32, so that the component parts of a knocked-down cabinet will form a'more'compact package. The rear edges of side members I9 and 20 are respectively provided with inturned flanges 33 and 34 to which the back sections are secured by interfitting means, and the adjoining edges of the sections are also secured by similarmeans. Preferably, the interfitting means comprises the edges of a suitable number of openings 35 in each margin of each section,.each edge interfitting with a corresponding clip or ear. 36
formed in the flanges 33 and 34. The clips 35 are sheared from the flanges and pressed inward to receive the upper-edge of the openings 35. The
; upper edges of back sections 3| and 32 are also provided with a suitable number such as three similarjintegral ears 36' that interfit with the margin of sections and 3|. The lower edge of the lower section 32 is secured to base I0 by a plurality of 'screwnails 38, and the upper edge of the upper section 30 is provided with an inturned flange 39 that interfits in a groove 49 formed by a spaced outturned flange 4| adjacent the rear edge of top 24. A screwnail or drive screw 42 in aligned openings in the interfitted flanges 39 and 4 I prevents accidental movement of the top.
The front of the cabinet comprises a removable 'dOOI 43 carried by suitable hinges 44 and 45 secured to a removable transom 46, and two removable panels 47 and 48. The front is held by inwardly facing'channels or channel irons 49 and 50 respectively secured within inturned flanges 5| and 52 at the front edge of side members [9 and '20 by suitable means such as autogenous .welds.
The panels 41 and48 are respectively provided with inturned stiffening flanges 53 and 54 around the outer edges and theinner vertical edge of panel 41 is also provided with a jamb 55-that lies .back of. the inneredge of panel 48. Flange 54 of panel 48 is provided with av pin 51 that fits in an. opening 56in doorsill I2 to support the bottom of the panels at the center.
The outer edges ofpanels 47 and 48 are respectively supported in channels 49 and 50, and
the tops of the panels are supported by transom 46. This transom is preferably-a channel extending across the front of the cabinet around the upper edges of panels 41 and 48 with each end supported or retained in one of the channels 49 and50.-- H
The door 43 is frictionally held in closed position by a. spring clip 58 that snaps over a cooperating bar 59. The spring clip is secured to the inside of the-door by the enlarged inner end of I the shank of a knob 60 on the outside of the door, and the bar 59 is secured to the inner surface of doorstop 28 by suitable means such as autogenous welds 6 l. The door 43 may be provided with means for holding a lock such as an opening 62 in the door anda similar opening 63 in doorstop 28 through which the inserted.
The rear wall of the cabinet may be provided with suitable lugs such as 64.0n which a pressure regulator and other associated-apparatus may be how of a padlock may be mounted asshown in copending patent applicaother channel.
said cabinet; and means for tion having Serial No. 634,288. Also, the panels 41 and 48 may be provided with suitable ventilating openings such as louvers B5.
In order to observe and manipulate the mechanism within "the cabinet it is necessary to open only the door 43, but to exchange a cylinder the entire front may be removed. This is readfly of the cabinet as wouldbe necessary if it were,
provided with doors.
Variouschanges in the shape and relative.
position of the component parts of the cabinet" may be made without departing from the range of the invention or thescope of the appended claims.
