Movable combination storage and room divider system

Abstract

A movable combination storage and room divider system is provided incorporating a plurality of individual movable storage cabinets and supporting tracks. The individual storage cabinets are constructed of planar sheet materials that are assembled into a hollow box. Rigid connection members at the corners of the box support cabinet bracing and accept tie members that when tensioned hold together the hollow box. Elongated rigid z-section members are used to join to the assembled hollow box a rigid planar back or rigid planar doors, and may be used to conceal from external view panel edges and mechanical fasteners, making the storage cabinet finished on all sides and allowing it to be used also as a room divider. Individual storage cabinets move on castors having a circumferential groove in their wheels, which groove articulates with a spine fabricated into a dedicated track to guide cabinet movement.

   h) at least two first tie members each having two threaded ends, said threaded ends dimensioned to fit through said fourth through-holes in said first flanges of said corner connection members;    i) at least four fourth mechanical fasteners each having a thread designed to threadably engage said threaded ends of said at least two first tie members;    j) a plurality of first screw-type fasteners dimensioned such that the collars of said first fasteners pass through said first through-holes in said second flanges of said corner connection members, said first fasteners dimensioned such that the heads of said first fasteners do not pass through said first through-holes in said second flanges of said corner connection members, said first fasteners dimensioned such that the overall length of each of said first fasteners is less than the edge dimension of one of said side panels;    k) at least three similarly dimensioned castors having eighth through-holes in the mounting flange of each of said castors, said castors dimensioned such that a part of the rolling surface of the wheel of each of said castors extends below the lowest point of any other component of said knockdown movable combination storage cabinet and room divider;    i) a plurality of third screw-type fasteners dimensioned such that the collars of said third fasteners pass through said eighth through-holes in said mounting flange of each of said castors, said third fasteners dimensioned such that the heads of said third fasteners do not pass through said eighth through-holes in said mounting flange of each of said castors, said third fasteners dimensioned such that the overall length of each of said third fasteners is less than the edge dimension of said bottom panel; and    m) a plurality of second screw-type fasteners dimensioned such that the collars of said second fasteners pass through said second through-holes in said middle ribs of said z-section connection members, said second fasteners dimensioned such that the heads of said second fasteners do not pass through said second through-holes of said z-section connection members, said second fasteners dimensioned such that the overall length of each of said second fasteners is less than the edge dimension of one of said rigid back panel.
