Abstract
A readily disassemblable cabinet (15) for a liquid dispensing system (10) includes a supporting frame assembly (25) having a base plate (26) and a shelf (28), and further includes readily removable front (22), rear (27), and side panels (20) and a separately removable top support (50) and top panel (23). Readily removable metal rods (20) are provided to secure individual base, shelf and top support components to the frame assembly. Such rods permit the quick removal of the system components and thus facilitate routine maintenance of the liquid dispensing system while minimizing the number of tools required to service the unit.
Claims
1. A cabinet for a dispensing device comprising, in combination, a base, a top support, a back member and a front panel, means for securing the base and top support to the lower and upper ends, respectively, of the back member and the front panel to form a substantially rigid, open sided, rectangular structure, wherein the means for securing the base to the lower end of the front panel and the means for securing the top support to the upper ends of the back member and the front panel each includes a slidably removable cross pin dimensioned for insertion in openings formed at the respective corners of said rectangular structure, said back member and said front panel each having side edges and first connecting means disposed on said side edges, and at least one side panel having second connecting means disposed and dimensioned for cooperation with said first connecting means for detachably connecting said side panel to said structure to close at least one of said open sides.
2. A cabinet as defined in claim 1 including a pair of side panels each having second connecting means disposed thereon such that each of said side panels may be detachably and interchangeably mounted on either open side of said structure, said side panels being dimensioned to overlap and substantially cover the side edges of said base, top support, back member and front panel.
3. A cabinet as defined in claim 1 wherein the base and back member are molded of plastic material and the means for securing the base to the lower end of the back member includes a plurality of interfitting dovetail elements molded respectively into the plastic material of the base and the back member.
4. A cabinet as defined in claim 3 wherein the means for securing the base to the lower end of the back member includes a pair of opposite-side gussets having snap-fitting connector elements, and the side edges of the base and the lower end of the back member are formed with means for receiving said snap-fitting connector elements.
5. A cabinet as defined in claim 3 including an intermediate support shelf molded of plastic material, and means for securing the support shelf to the back including a plurality of interfitting dovetail elements molded respectively into the plastic material of the shelf and the back member.
6. A cabinet as defined in claim 5 wherein the means for securing the shelf to the back member includes a pair of opposite-side gussets having snap-fitting connector elements, and the side edges of the shelf and the back member are formed with means for receiving said snap-fitting connector elements.
7. A cabinet as defined in claim 5 including means for securing the shelf to the front panel including a slidably removable cross pin dimensioned for insertion in openings formed in the shelf and the front panel.
8. A cabinet as defined in claim 2 including a top panel and means for detachably connecting the top panel to the top support, said top panel being removable from the top support without detaching said side panels, and said side panels being detachable from said structure without removal of said top panel.
9. A cabinet as defined in claim 5 including a liquid reservoir and a hot tank, said reservoir being removably mounted on and supported by the upper surface of said shelf, and means for detachably suspending said hot tank from said shelf including a pair of slidably removable cross pins.
