Cabinet

A cabinet comprising:

• a pair of spaced apart opposingly oriented, molded side panels;
• a molded rear panel disposed between the side panels at first edges thereof and joined thereto;
• a molded top panel disposed at an uppermost edge of the side and rear panels and defining a cabinet top;
• a molded base panel in spaced, opposing relation to the top panel, disposed at a bottommost edge of the side and rear panels and defining a cabinet base;
• a pair of pivotal, molded front door panels disposed in opposing relation to the rear panel and between the side panels and joined thereto at second edges thereof, the side panels, rear panel, top panel, base panel and door panels, when connected to one another define a cabinet having four corners and an internal storage region;
• corner support posts positioned at at least two corners and extending between the base panel and the top panel, the posts traversing through and joining the respective side panels with the door panels defining front corners, the posts positioned at the front corners forming pintles defining axes for pivoting the door panels relative to the side panels;
• and
• clamping means for securing the posts to the top and base panels, wherein at least some of the clamping means includes a partially threaded sleeve formed in and extending from the base and top panels and a threaded nut configured for engaging the sleeve, the sleeve including longitudinal slots formed therein so as compress inwardly when the nut is threaded thereon, the sleeve being further configured for receiving the support post therein and for securing the support post thereto as the nut is threaded onto the sleeve and the sleeve compresses onto the post.

• a molded base panel in spaced, opposing relation to the top panel, disposed at a bottommost edge of the side and rear panels and defining a cabinet base;
• a pair of pivotal, molded front door panels disposed in opposing relation to the rear panel and between the side panels and joined thereto at second edges thereof, the side panels, rear panel, top panel, base panel and door panels, when connected to one another define a cabinet having four corners and an internal storage region;
• corner support posts positioned at at least two corners and extending between the base panel and the top panel, the posts traversing through and joining the respective side panels with the door panels defining front corners, the posts positioned at the front corners forming pintles defining axes for pivoting the door panels relative to the side panels;
• and
• clamping means for securing the posts to the top and base panels,
• wherein the clamping means includes a clamping sleeve positioned on at least one of the top and base panels, the sleeve configured for receiving a support post end therein, the support post end having a slot therein engageable with a locking projection extend from top or base panel adjacent the clamping sleeve.
