ABSTRACT:
A rugged and inexpensive filing cabinet constructed from thin, prefinished metal and a method for making the same. All component parts including the case envelope, case back, kick plate, drawers, any interior webs, and drawer supports are designed to be cut from only four discrete coils of metal with waste attributable to trimming or removal of excess metal maintained at a minimum. Ruggedness and strength are maintained, despite the relative thinness of the metal, because the vertical corners and other potentially critical areas subjected to increased stress are reinforced with structural elements adhesively bonded in place. Certain structural elements also function as jigging members during the adhesive bonding of the component parts. In addition, the design of the present invention provides a versatile and adaptable end product due to the interchangeability of certain component parts. The cabinet has an integrally or separately formed web parallel to the top and located between the recesses for receiving two of the drawers. The web partitions and strengthens the cabinet particularly one having three, four, or more vertically stacked letter file drawers.
