Abstract
A modular enclosure system and method for forming an enclosure are disclosed. The enclosure system includes a plurality of interchangeable edge rails constructed to engage a plurality of interchangeable corner connectors. The interchangeable edge rails include a flange constructed to engage and secure a plurality of panel sections to the enclosure thereby quickly and efficiently forming a desired volume enclosure.
Claims39
An enclosure system comprising:
- a frame assembly comprising:
- a plurality of edge rails, each edge rail being interchangeable and having a first end and a second end;
- a plurality of connectors, each connector being interchangeable and having a connector flange extending outwardly therefrom and constructed to engage respective ends of a plurality of the edge rails;
- and
- a plurality of side panels constructed to be attached to the frame assembly, each side panel constructed to engage the connector flanges of a plurality of the connectors.

A cabinet system comprising:
- an edge component having a generally curved portion and a pair of generally planar portions wherein a shoulder is formed between the generally curved portion and each of the generally planar portions;
- a corner component having a body and a plurality of generally curved sections extending therefrom, each generally curved section constructed to be snuggly received by the edge component between the shoulders formed thereon;
- and
- a plurality of side panels constructed to be received by the edge component on a side generally opposite the corner component and oriented to enclose a volume.

A method of forming an enclosure comprising:
- connecting a plurality of interchangeable corners with a plurality of interchangeable frame rails to form an enclosure frame having a plurality of generally uniform panel mounting flanges;
- and
- mounting an enclosure panel to each of the generally uniform panel mounting flanges thereby enclosing a volume.
A modular container kit comprising:
- a plurality of corner connectors;
- a number of edge rails of a predetermined length, each of which are constructed to be severed to a user desired length, wherein each severed end is engageable with a corner connector to form a frame assembly;
- and
- at least one sheet of generally planar material that is constructed to be severable into a plurality of panels to engage the frame assembly and form the modular container.
