a first and at least a second module positioned one above the other, where each module comprises two side panels, a rear panel, at least a shelf and a reinforcing structure, the reinforcing structure comprising an upper cross-member and respectively a lower cross-member arranged along upper and respectively lower sides of the rear panel and a connecting upright joining said cross-members, each module further comprising an L-shaped support having a vertical wing connected along the connecting upright and a horizontal wing for supporting the shelf, the L-shaped support has clamping means of the upper cross-member to the lower cross-member of the overlying module. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An assemblable wardrobe made of a plastic material, comprising a first and at least a second module positioned one above the other, where each module comprises two side panels, a rear panel, at least a shelf and a reinforcing structure, wherein that said reinforcing structure comprises an upper cross-member and respectively a lower cross-member arranged along upper and respectively lower sides of the rear panel and a connecting upright joining said cross-members, each module further comprising an L-shaped support having a vertical wing connected along said connecting upright and a horizontal wing supporting the shelf, said L-shaped support having a clamp configured to clamp the upper cross-member to the lower cross-member of the overlying module, wherein said rear panel has side uprights and said side panels have rear uprights juxtaposed at said side uprights at the lateral sides thereof, having upper couplings and lower couplings for reciprocal connection, wherein the upper coupling of the side upright of the rear panel is formed by a tapered engaging tooth which vertically extends below a shoulder of the side upright of the rear panel, and the corresponding upper coupling of the rear upright of the side panel is formed by a cavity which vertically extends inside a shoulder of the rear upright of the side panel. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The assemblable wardrobe made of a plastic material, according to claim 1, wherein in that said cross-members are formed in a single piece with said rear panel. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The assemblable wardrobe made of a plastic material, according to claim 1, wherein in that said connecting upright is formed in a single piece with said rear panel. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The assemblable wardrobe made of a plastic material, according to claim 1, wherein in that said vertical wing is connected along the connecting upright by engagement of grooved couplings with corresponding grooved couplings of the connecting upright. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The assemblable wardrobe made of a plastic material, according to claim 1, wherein in that said clamp comprises at least a grooved coupling engaged with a corresponding grooved coupling of said lower cross-member of the overlying module. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The assemblable wardrobe made of a plastic material, according to claim 5, wherein that said clamp comprises at least a locking bolt of said L-shaped support locking said lower cross-member of the overlying module. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The assemblable wardrobe made of a plastic material, according to claim 1, further comprises interconnecting dowels at the corners between modules. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The assemblable wardrobe made of a plastic material, according to claim 7, wherein that said dowels have teeth inserted in snap-fitting blocking seatings of the connection. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The assemblable wardrobe made of a plastic material, according to claim 1, wherein that said side panel has a frame formed in single piece with said side panel and comprising said rear upright, a front upright, an upper cross-member and a lower cross-member. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The assemblable wardrobe made of a plastic material, according to claim 1, further comprising connecting plugs formed in a single piece with said upper cross-member of said rear panel, which connect to the lower cross-member of the rear panel of the overlying module. ### Claim 11 An assemblable wardrobe made of a plastic material, comprising a first and at least a second module positioned one above the other, where each module comprises two side panels, a rear panel, at least a shelf and a reinforcing structure, wherein that said reinforcing structure comprises an upper cross-member and respectively a lower cross-member arranged along upper and respectively lower sides of the rear panel and a connecting upright joining said cross-members, each module further comprising an L-shaped support having a vertical wing connected along said connecting upright and a horizontal wing supporting the shelf, said L-shaped support having a clamp configured to clamp the upper cross-member to the lower cross-member of the overlying module, wherein that said rear panel has side uprights and said side panels have rear uprights juxtaposed at said side uprights at the lateral sides thereof, having upper couplings and lower couplings for reciprocal connection, wherein that the lower coupling of the side upright of the rear panel 4 is in the form of a groove which faces a window which, starting from the lower end of the lateral side of the side upright of the rear panel extends vertically along the lateral side of the side upright of the rear panel, and the lower coupling of the rear upright of the side panel is in the form of a vertical protrusion which extends outside the lateral side of the rear upright of the side panel, said vertical protrusion being connected only at the lower end thereof to the lateral side of the rear upright of the side panel in order to be able to slide in the groove. ### Claim 12 A kit for an assemblable wardrobe made of a plastic material, comprising a first and at least a second module that are superposable, where for the construction of each module a separate and independent plurality of components is included, comprising a rear panel, two side panels couplable to the rear panel, at least a shelf, and an L-shaped support for the shelf, wherein that a reinforcing structure is integrated in said rear panel comprising an upper cross-member and respectively a lower cross-member arranged along upper and respectively lower sides of the rear panel and a connecting upright joining said cross-members, said L-shaped support having a vertical wing that is connectable along said upright and a horizontal wing having a clamp configured to clamp the upper cross-member to the lower cross-member of the overlying module, wherein said rear panel has side uprights and said side panels have rear uprights juxtaposed at said side uprights at the lateral sides thereof, having upper couplings and lower couplings for reciprocal connection, wherein the upper coupling of the side upright of the rear panel is formed by a tapered engaging tooth which vertically extends below a shoulder of the side upright of the rear panel, and the corresponding upper coupling of the rear upright of the side panel is formed by a cavity which vertically extends inside a shoulder of the rear upright of the side panel.
