Definitions

• the present invention relates to a removable cabinet, formed from a series of modules that can be mounted easily and quickly.
• a removable cabinet formed from a series of modules that can be mounted easily and quickly.
• the sale of dismantled cabinets is very frequent for the user to mount in their place of definitive use. This practice has the advantage that its cost is reduced, since the user does not have to pay the assembly costs.
• the modules in these cabinets are easy to transport because they occupy a small space.
• This type of cabinets are composed of a series of modules that define the upper and lower parts of the cabinet, and also the sides and doors of the same. These modules are usually joined by nails or screws, being their considerable number to achieve sufficient rigidity for the cabinet.
• this assembly system has the disadvantage that it is difficult and involves a considerable waste of time.
• this type of cabinets also have the disadvantage that the placement of the different modules between them is sometimes complicated, since a defective placement can have an impact on the assembly not being adequate.
• the removable cabinet of the invention is characterized by the fact that the back of the cabinet is formed by a series of modules that are joined together by a plurality of fixing pins that are housed in complementary holes provided in adjacent modules.
• said modules that form the back of the cabinet define longitudinal ribs that are housed in complementary channels provided in adjacent modules, said holes being arranged where the fixing pins are housed in said longitudinal ribs and in the complementary channels.
• said fixing pins have a pair of elastic pins that separate from each other when placed in their fixing position.
• the modules defining the sides comprise a first U-shaped guide, which incorporates in its interior a series of substantially ⁇ -shaped profiles provided in its upper part of a hole, and comprising the modules defining the upper part and In the lower part of the cabinet a second U-shaped guide attachable to said first guide, said second guide being provided with a series of complementary holes to the holes of the substantially ⁇ -shaped profiles, introducing in said complementary holes two fixing elements for fixing the position of the upper and lower parts of the cabinet relative to the sides.
• Figure 1 is a perspective view of the interior of the cabinet, in which the upper part and the doors have not been shown for reasons of clarity;
• Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the rear part of the enclosure of the invention already assembled, the fixing pins being separated;
• Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the junction area of the lower part of the cabinet with one of the sides.
• the removable cabinet of the invention is formed by a plurality of modules that are joined together, defining the back part 1, the sides 2 and the bottom part 3, in addition to the top part and the doors, which have not been represented for reasons of clarity, as indicated above.
• the rear part 1 of the cabinet of the invention is formed by a pair of modules 4, 5 that are joined together, as can be seen in greater detail in Figure 2.
• the first module 4 that forms the bottom of the cabinet of the invention defines a longitudinal rib 6 on one of its sides and a channel 7 on the opposite side.
• the second module 5 which also forms the bottom of the closet of the invention, defines on its sides two channels 8 identical to each other and also identical to channel 7 of the first module 4.
• the sides of the cabinet 2 also have longitudinal ribs 9 identical to the longitudinal rib of the first module 4 mentioned previously. These channels and longitudinal ribs are complementary so that the longitudinal ribs are introduced into the channels, forming the bottom of the cabinet of the invention.
• the longitudinal ribs and the channels have a plurality of complementary holes 10 for the introduction of fixing pins 11.
• the fixing pins 11, which are represented in Figure 2, have a pair of elastic pins 12 that separate from each other when the pins 11 are in their fixing position.
• Figure 3 shows the fixing system between the lower part 3 of the cabinet and the sides 2 thereof. It should be noted that this fixing system is identical to the system that is also used in fixing between the upper part of the cabinet (not shown) and the sides thereof.
• the modules 2 defining the sides comprise a first U-shaped guide 13, which incorporates in its interior a series of substantially ⁇ -shaped profiles 14 provided in its upper part with a hole 15.
• the module defining the lower part of the cabinet 3 comprises a second U-shaped guide 16 attachable to said first guide 13, said second guide 16 being provided with a series of holes 17 complementary to the holes 15 of the profiles 14 substantially in the form of ⁇ .
• said holes 15 of the profiles 14 substantially in the form of ⁇ and in the complementary holes 17 of the second guide 16 screws 18 are introduced with the interposition of washers 19 to fix the position of the upper parts and bottom of the closet with respect to the sides.
