Abstract
A modular cabinet includes a plurality of modular wall panels that interlock with one another via tubular connector assemblies. Each tubular connector assembly has a female tubular member attached to a modular panel and a male tubular member attached to an adjacent modular wall panel. The tubular connector assembly joins the modular panel and the adjacent modular panel to form a corner of the modular cabinet.
Claims20
A cabinet assembly comprising:
- a first set of modular walls having first edges;
- a second set of modular walls having second edges adjacent to the first edges;
- a male tubular member associated with at least one of the first edges;
- a female tubular member for interlocking with the male tubular member, the female tubular member associated with at least one of the second edges;
- and
- a circuitous gap between the male tubular member and the corresponding female tubular member.
A cabinet assembly comprising:
- a first set of modular walls having first edges;
- a second set of modular walls having second edges adjacent to the first edges;
- a male tubular member associated with at least one of the first edges;
- and
- a female tubular member for interlocking with the male tubular member, the female tubular member associated with at least one of the second edges,
- wherein the male tubular member and the corresponding female tubular member form an interlocking joint discontinuously extending over a fraction of a height of a vertically extending comer between adjacent modular walls.
A modular cabinet assembly comprising:
- a first set of first modular walls having edges and facing each other;
- a second set of second modular walls having edges and facing each other;
- a plurality of female tubular members attached to the edges of the first modular walls;
- a plurality of male tubular members attached to the edges of the second modular walls;
- corners formed by joining the first set of modular walls and the second set of modular walls into a unitary body;
- and
- a circuitous gap between each male tubular member and the corresponding female tubular member.
