Abstract
Systems, apparatus, and methods form cabinetry for installations utilizing metallic chassis. The chassis is metallic and forms a load bearing structure of a cabinet. A chassis member, of multiple chassis members forming the chassis, is assembled to the chassis using one or more fasteners of the cabinet. Multiple finishing members include an interior member assembled to an interior of the chassis and an exterior member assembled to an exterior of the chassis. A securing member is used to affix the cabinet to a mounting rail.
Claims20
An apparatus forming a cabinet, the apparatus comprising:
- a chassis that is metallic and forms a load bearing structure of the cabinet, wherein the chassis is formed of a plurality of chassis members;
- a chassis member of the plurality of chassis members is assembled to the chassis using one or more fasteners of the cabinet;
- a plurality of finishing members comprising an interior member assembled to an interior of the chassis and an exterior member assembled to an exterior of the chassis;
- and
- a mounting rail including a rail slot, wherein the mounting rail is structured to receive a spacer stick through the rail slot to align a plurality of mounting rails comprising the mounting rail,
- wherein the rail slot comprises a member thickness and a fastener thickness, and
- wherein the fastener thickness is greater than the member thickness.
An apparatus forming a cabinet, the apparatus comprising:
- a chassis that is metallic and forms a load bearing structure of the cabinet, wherein the chassis is formed of a plurality of chassis members;
- a chassis member of the plurality of chassis members is assembled to the chassis using one or more fasteners of the cabinet;
- a plurality of finishing members comprising an interior member assembled to an interior of the chassis and an exterior member assembled to an exterior of the chassis;
- and
- a mounting rail including a rail slot structured to fit a spacer stick,
- wherein the spacer stick comprises a stick slot structured to insert to the rail slot so that a fastener inserted through the spacer stick makes solid contact with a body of the mounting rail between one or more holes of the mounting rail.
An apparatus forming a cabinet, the apparatus further comprising:
- a chassis that is metallic and forms a load bearing structure of the cabinet, wherein the chassis is formed of a plurality of chassis members;
- a chassis member of the plurality of chassis members is assembled to the chassis using one or more fasteners of the cabinet;
- a plurality of finishing members comprising an interior member assembled to an interior of the chassis and an exterior member assembled to an exterior of the chassis;
- and
- a backsplash mounting tab comprising a fastener securing the backsplash mounting tab by pushing a proximate end of the backsplash mounting tab away from a mounting rail, wherein the proximate end is proximate to the fastener.
