Abstract
The present invention includes a system for quickly and simply manufacturing semi-custom cabinetry utilizing a stapled on clamps. The stapled on clamp allows panels of the cabinet to quickly and securely join together, with significant load bearing ability. The clamp allows for different ways of discretely joining pieces together to create custom cabinetry during installation. The stapled on clamp can be used for toe box construction as either a single pin or a double pin.
Claims8
A stapled on clamp for use with a modular cabinet comprising:
- an attachment member having a substantially cylindrical shape with a channel formed along a length of said attachment member;
- a base member forming a substantially flat bottom surface of said channel;
- and a staple for securing said attachment member to a first panel;
- whereby said attachment member is constructed and arranged to frictionally engage a groove formed on a second panel wherein said channel of said attachment member compresses to allow an outer surface of said attachment member to fit within said groove formed in said second panel thereby coupling said first panel to said second panel.

A stapled on clamp assembly for use with a modular cabinet comprising:
- a first attachment member having a substantially cylindrical shape with a first channel formed along a length of said first attachment member;
- a second attachment member having a substantially cylindrical shape with a second channel formed along a length of said attachment member;
- a base member coupling said first attachment member to said second attachment member, said base member forming a substantially flat bottom surface of said first channel and said second channel, said first and second attachment members in coaxial alignment with said flat bottom surface of said channel;
- and at least one staple insertable through said base member of said first attachment member, and at least one staple insertable through said base member of said second attachment member securing said staple on clamp assembly to a first panel;
- whereby each said attachment member is constructed and arranged to frictionally engage a groove formed on a second panel wherein said channel of each said attachment member compresses to allow an outer surface of each said attachment member to fit within said grooves formed in said second panel coupling said first panel to said second panel.
