Abstract
A modular bar system having a decorative appearance including vertical trim strips which cover the joints between sections. The system can be adapted into a variety of configurations and shapes.
Claims18
A modular cabinet system comprising:
- a plurality of cabinet modules each having a substantially planar face surface and at least one adjoining surface, said adjoining surfaces of adjacent said cabinet modules being configured to engage said substantially planar face surfaces of said adjacent modules being configured to align into a single, substantially continuous, substantially planar surface, at least one of said cabinet modules having a trim piece on said face surface extending along the intersection of said face surface and said adjoining surface and extending normal to said intersection such that said trim piece at least partially covers the joint formed when one of said cabinet modules are engaged with another of said cabinet modules.
An assembly of modular bar system comprising:
- a plurality of generally rectangular adjacent modules having a decorative front surface, a pair of side surfaces configured to abut adjacent modules, said decorative front surface on all but one of said modules having a vertical trim strip on an edge overlapping the adjacent module, said decorative front surface further having at least two horizontal trim strips spaced equally from the top and bottom edges of said modules such that said horizontal trim strips on each of said modules align with the trim strips of the adjacent modules regardless of whether the modules are oriented with the top edge up or down.
A modular cabinet system comprising a plurality of cabinet modules each having:
- a substantially planar face surface comprising a single piece of material;
- at least one adjoining surface substantially perpendicular to said face surface, said adjoining surfaces of adjacent said cabinet modules being configured to engage said substantially planar face surfaces of said adjacent modules being configured to align into a single, substantially continuous, substantially planar surface;
- a substantially horizontally planar top portion substantially perpendicular to said face surface and comprising at least two discrete horizontal surfaces, a first counter surface and a second auxiliary surface associated with said first counter surface below and substantially parallel to said first counter surface
- at least one of said cabinet modules having a trim piece attached to said face surface and extending along the intersection of said face surface and said adjoining surface and extending normal to said intersection such that said trim piece at least partially covers the joint formed when said cabinet module is mated with another of said cabinet modules.
