ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for quickly coupling together two cabinets or the like, or disconnecting two such coupled cabinets from each other. In a preferred embodiment of the invention a first coupling unit is secured across the lower right side of a first cabinet, while a second coupling unit is secured across the upper left side of a second cabinet. Locking members protrude from each of the first and second coupling units. First keyholes in a first orientation are disposed across the upper right side of the first cabinet adjacent to associated ones of the locking members of the second coupling unit. Similarly, second keyholes in a second orientation are disposed across the lower left side of the second cabinet adjacent to associated ones of the locking members of the first coupling unit. The cabinets are locked together by setting the cabinets against each other, tipping both cabinets in unison from upright positions to tilted positions to cause the locking members of the first coupling unit to slip into associated enlarged portions of the second keyholes and the locking members of the second coupling unit to slip into associated enlarged portions of the first keyholes, and then returning both cabinets to their upright positions to cause the locking members of the first coupling unit to slip into associated narrow portions of the second keyholes and the locking members of the second coupling unit to slip into associated narrow portions of the first keyholes.
