ABSTRACT:
A series of design features which render filing and similar cabinets resistant to water entry are described. The design features may either be incorporated at the time of manufacture or retro-fitted onto certain types of existing cabinets. The features comprise water deflectors mounted above drawers or compartments of filing cabinets, the water deflectors having a downwardly sloping front face for deflecting falling water away from the drawers or compartments and flanges fitted onto the sides and bottom of the drawers or compartments, thereby eliminating any gaps between the frame of the filing cabinet and the drawers or compartments of the filing cabinet, which will in turn prevent water entry into the filing cabinet.
