Picture frame cabinet

A cabinet having a frame-like appearance comprising, in combination,

• an upper U-shaped panel having interiorly bent outer edges,
• a lower U-shaped panel having interiorly bent outer edges,
• a dove tail bent clamp having outer edges bent to securely engage in grasping relationship said interiorly bent edges of said upper and lower U-shaped panels thereby serving to define a handle means and locking means to secure said upper and lower U-shaped panels,
• four edge members mitered at their respective ends to define a front frame,
• a rear frame having means for securing said upper and lower U-shaped panels to both front and rear frames while said panels are secured by the dove tail bent clamp,
• said edge members having a cross section defining a running slot,
• a reinforcing member of each front frame corner being L-shaped in front plan view and proportioned to fit within said running slots,
• a slot adjacent to said running slot for engaging a bolt or screw type member,
• and interior mounting posts having a plurality of mounting holes, said posts secured to said front and rear frames,
• wherein an enclosure is defined in which the panels coupled with the mounting members secure the frame members which are reinforced at their corners.

A cabinet having a frame-like appearance comprising, in combination,

• an upper and lower U-shaped panel each having a horizontal surface and two vertical surfaces and outer edges reversely bent interiorly so as to form an acute angle with its respective vertical surface,
• a dove tail bent clamp having a vertical surface with outer edges reversely bent exteriorly so as to form an acute angle with said vertical surface and dimensioned so that said dove tail clamp outer edges securely receive said upper and lower panel outer edges in grasping relationship,
• a handle assemble on both sides of said cabinet formed from said dove tail bent clamp,
• four edge members mitered at their respective ends to define a front frame,
• a rear frame,
• means for securing said upper and lower U-shaped panels to both front and rear frames,
• said edge members having a cross section defining a running slot,
• a reinforcing member for each front frame corner being L-shaped in front plan view and proportioned to fit within said running slots,
• a slot adjacent to said running slot for engaging a bolt or screw type member,
• and interior mounting posts having a plurality of mounting holes, said posts secured to said front and rear frames, whereby an enclosure is defined in which the panels coupled with the mounting members secure the frame members which are reinforced at their corners.

• a dove tail bent clamp having outer edges bent to securely engage said interiorly bent edges of said upper and lower U-shaped panels,
• four edge members,
• each edge member having an interior portion and an exterior portion,
• said interior portion having a cross section defining a running slot with an undercut and a slot adjacent to said running slot for engaging a fastener,
• said exterior portion having a cross section defining a C-shaped member,
• each said member mitered at its respective ends to define a front frame,
• a rear frame,
• means for securing said upper and lower U-shaped panels to said front frame and said rear frame,
• a reinforcing member for each corner being L-shaped in front plan view and proportioned to fit within said running slots,
• and interior mounting means to support a shelf therefrom,
• whereby an enclosure is defined in which the panels secure the frame members which are reinforced at their corners.
