Definitions

  • the present invention relates to metal cabinets for storing documents and other articles, and in particular to knockdown metal cabinets which can be readily assembled into an intended structure.
  • a conventional metal cabinet for such a purpose typically has a box-shaped cabinet main body which is formed by a back panel, two side panels, a top panel, and a bottom panel.
  • the cabinet main body may be given with any one of a number of structures depending on its application.
  • the side panels may be provided with engagement pieces for securing shelves inside the cabinet main body.
  • the front opening of the cabinet main body may be left open.
  • the side panels may be provided with guide rails to mount drawers.
  • the front opening of the cabinet main body may also be provided with a double door, a slide door or a glass door.
  • Each metal cabinet is assembled into a prescribed permanent structure at an manufacturing facility, and is shipped to the retail store or to the end user in its assembled state.
  • a primary object of the present invention is to provide a metal cabinet which allows component parts thereof to be assembled both easily and accurately, and to dissemble and reassemble when such a need arises, and which allows a door of a desired type to be installed to a common cabinet main body.
  • a knock down metal cabinet defining an open front end, comprising a back panel, a pair of side panels attached to either side of the back panel, and top and bottom panels attached to the upper and bottom edges of the back panel across the side panels, characterized by that: mutually engaging frame portions are formed along edges of the panel, and the side panels are secured to the top and bottom panels via engagement means formed in the frame portions.
  • the cabinet main body can be assembled from the back panel, the side panels, the top panel and the bottom panel in any place other than the assembling plant, and it is therefore possible to eliminate the need for a large space for stocking the cabinets at the manufacturing plant or the retailer, and to reduce the cost of transportation.
  • the engagement means may comprise an engagement member secured to one of the frame portions, and a receiving opening provided in the corresponding frame portion for detachable engagement with the engagement member.

  • a common cabinet main body can be adapted for a cabinet with or without a door, or for a cabinet having a slide door or a normal door so that the number of the variations of the cabinet main body can be minimized. Therefore, common component parts can be used for different models, and stocking of component parts is simplified. These advantages are even more enhanced when the cabinet main body is adapted to be easily assembled and dissembled.

  • the engagement means comprises a retaining member fitted into an opening defined inside each of the guide slot for receiving an associated one of the tongue pieces, the retaining member comprising a tubular front end defining an inner passage for receiving the tongue piece, a pair of clamp plates extending rearward from the tubular front end for receiving a forward end of the tongue piece between the clamp plates, and an engagement projection for retaining the retaining member in the opening, the passage being progressively narrower toward a rear end thereof in such a manner that walls defining the passage is pushed apart as the tongue piece is fitted into the passage, thereby causing the clamp plates to be pressed onto a free end of the tongue piece.
  • the retaining member is adapted to be disengaged from the cabinet body by depressing the engagement projection engaging the retaining member in the opening, and pulling the retaining member rearward out of the opening.
  • a free end of the tongue piece may be provided with an opening while the retaining member is provided an inwardly directed projection which is adapted to be fitted into the opening of the tongue piece when the tongue piece is fully fitted into the passage.
