Cabinet for a fire extinguisher with locking closure member

Abstract

A cabinet for housing a fire extinguisher including two sidewalls, a back wall, a bottom wall and a removable transparent partial front wall slidably mounted between said sidewalls. Channels formed by two sets of right angular flanges extending from said sidewalls provide the channel structure into which the front wall is slidably mounted. The cabinet is finished off and closed by a top closure member comprised of a flat portion and a depending flat front portion joined at a right angle. The closure member's flat top portion is slidably and removably mounted in channels formed by right angular flanges extending from the top of said sidewalls and back wall and a partial top wall spaced below said flanges. With both the partial front wall and the closure member inserted in their respective channel structures as far as possible, the depending flat portion of the closure member overlaps and meets the partial front wall thereby closing and completing the cabinet. A conventional cylinder lock is mounted in the depending flat front portion of the closure member, the rotatable latch bar of the lock engageable with a right angular flange depending from the partial top wall for locking the cabinet.
