ABSTRACT:
A composite wood and metal knockdown cabinet assembly is characterized by component parts which can be assembled by the user merely with the aid of a screwdriver. The component parts of the assembly comprise a pair of prefabricated sheet metal side frames each composed of a rear and front vertical metal member which are each end-lap fastened at or near each end to horizontal metal U channel members, horizontal wood braces across the front of the cabinet end-lap fastened to the front vertical members of the side frames, one or more drawers and/or wood shelves supported by all the vertical members of the side frames and optionally wood door hinges attached conjointly to a front metal vertical member and to a horizontal front wood or metal brace. The pair of sheet metal side frames can be used to assemble cabinets of any desired width and/or number of shelves or drawers, or combinations of drawers and shelves. There is also disclosed an improved hinge for mounting a door on the cabinet and an improved combination wood and metal drawer. Additionally, the sheet metal side frames have provisions permitting individual cabinets to be joined together into a row of cabinets of any desired length and to be precisely vertically aligned with each other. Another disclosed feature of the sheet metal side frames are height adjustable shelf supporting means which in conjunction with shelves having unique corner configurations enable the shelves in one cabinet to be positioned in abutting relationship to the shelves of adjacent cabinets and thus provide if desired a substantially continuous horizontal shelf area extending along the entire length of a row of mounted cabinets. Another disclosed feature is the provision of particular metal brackets and clamps cooperating with the cabinet's metal side frames and top panel for respectively hanging and clamping the wall cabinets against a wall surface which enable mounting of the cabinets in most instances (depending on the weight of a given cabinet) by an individual without the aid of others or the need for interim scaffolding.
