Storage cabinet

Abstract

A storage cabinet comprised of an upper cover, a frame, a base, a back mirror, and a rear panel. The frame is fabricated of steel tubing (hollow metal tubes) and active hinges are installed on the frame to provide for its folding, thereby simplifying packaging material cost. Slide slots are formed along the top edges of lateral frame members that provide for the installation and positioning of the back mirror and the rear panel. The overall design of the present invention reduces components to a bare minimum and is safe, convenient, facilitates DIY assembly, and lowers import and export shipping costs.

1 . A storage cabinet comprised of an upper cover, a frame, a base, a back mirror, and a rear panel; the said frame is fabricated of steel tubing (hollow metal tubes) and, furthermore, can be folded and packaged following its construction to simplify packaging material utilization and reduce international shipping charge expenditures; to facilitate consumer DIY assembly, slide slots are formed along the top edges of lateral frame members for the insertion of the said back mirror and the said rear panel, rotary pegs for supporting partition boards are fastened an appropriate distance apart along the upper and lower two sides at the interior of lateral frame members, a plurality of folding-type hinges are situated an appropriate distance apart along the inner bottom edges of the said lateral frame members for conjoinment to a main frame member, side glass doors are installed in the said lateral frame members, and a front sheet of glass is fitted into anterior surface pane insertion insets of the said frame main frame member, with a boundary area articulated between the two said anterior surface pane insertion insets, the said top cover is installed onto the top end of the said frame, and the said base is fastened under the bottom end of the said frame and, given the said assembled components, the said back mirror faces inward and the said rear panel faces outward within the said slide slots.  
     
     
         2 . As mentioned in  claim 1  of the storage cabinet of the invention herein, the said frame is constructed of hollow metal tubes such as steel tubing and stainless steel tubing.  
     
     
         3 . As mentioned in  claim 1  of the storage cabinet of the invention herein, the said slide slots have recessed areas capable of containing the said back mirror and the said rear panel.  
     
     
         4 . As mentioned in  claim 1  of the storage cabinet of the invention herein, one appendage of the said folding-type hinges is attached an appropriate distance apart to the inner bottom edges of the said lateral frame members and the opposite appendage is designed such that they have fastening holes which are aligned with screw holes in the said main frame member.
