Tool cabinet

Abstract

A tool cabinet includes a cabinet frame unit with an open top portion, and open front, rear, left and right sides. A receiving tray is mounted in the top portion of the frame unit, and is covered by a top lid. A rear board member is mounted on the frame unit to close the rear side thereof. Parallel slide rails are mounted in the frame unit and cooperate with the receiving tray to define a drawer-receiving space in the cabinet frame unit below the receiving tray. A drawer member is disposed slidably in the drawer-receiving space. Left and right door panels are mounted pivotally on the rear board member and the cabinet frame unit for closing the left and right sides thereof. A front door panel is mounted pivotally on the frame unit for closing the front side thereof.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A tool cabinet comprising: 
 a cabinet frame unit having an open top portion, a bottom portion, an open left side, an open right side, an open front side, and an open rear side, said cabinet frame unit including 
 hollow left and right frame members which are disposed uprightly, which define said open left and right sides of said cabinet frame unit, and which are spaced apart from each other in a first direction,  
 a plurality of connecting rods which extend in said first direction, which interconnect said left and right frame members, and which are disposed to define said open front and rear sides of said cabinet frame unit, and  
 a pair of parallel slide rails which are mounted respectively on said left and right frame members and which extend in a second direction transverse to said first direction;  
   a rear board member mounted on said cabinet frame unit to close said open rear side;    a receiving tray mounted in said open top portion of said cabinet frame unit, said receiving tray cooperating with said slide rails to define a drawer-receiving space in said cabinet frame unit below said receiving tray, said drawer-receiving space being accessible from said open front side of said cabinet frame unit;    a drawer member disposed in said drawer-receiving space and in sliding engagement with said slide rails such that said drawer member is capable of being drawn out of said drawer-receiving space via said open front side of said cabinet frame unit;    a top lid mounted pivotally on said cabinet frame unit so as to conceal said receiving tray in said open top portion of said cabinet frame unit;    left and right door panels mounted pivotally on one of said rear board member and said cabinet frame unit for closing a respective one of said open left and right sides of said cabinet frame unit; and    a front door panel mounted pivotally on said cabinet frame unit for closing said open front side of said cabinet frame unit.    
     
     
         2 . The tool cabinet as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said bottom portion of said cabinet frame unit is provided with a plurality of casters that are mounted on bottom ends of said left and right frame members.  
     
     
         3 . The tool cabinet as defined in  claim 1 , further comprising a fastener tray mounted on an inner side surface of one of said left and right door panels.  
     
     
         4 . The tool cabinet as defined in  claim 1 , further comprising a foot unit mounted on one of said front, left and right door panels, said foot unit being operable so as to extend between a retracted position, where said foot unit does not extend beyond a bottom edge of said one of said front, left and right door panels, and an extended position, where said foot unit extends beyond said bottom edge of said one of said front, left and right door panels so as to be adapted to abut against a ground surface in order to arrest pivoting movement of said one of said front, left and right door panels relative to said cabinet frame unit.  
     
     
         5 . The tool cabinet as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said drawer member is provided with a pair of sliding rollers at a rear part thereof, said slide rails confining a pair of sliding passages within which said rollers are movably confined, each of said slide rails having a top wall formed with a downwardly facing recess at a front portion thereof, said recess being in spatial communication with said sliding passage and permitting a respective one of said rollers to extend therein when said drawer member is drawn out of said drawer-receiving space to a fully drawn position, said drawer member inclining downwardly when disposed at said fully drawn position.
