Cabinet assembly and assembly unit thereof

Abstract

A cabinet assembly having at least one assembly unit and multiple cover plates. Each assembly unit has a tapered shell and mounting frame. The tapered shell is hollow and has a first end, a second end, multiple outer surfaces and multiple first fastener sets. A diameter of the second end is smaller than a diameter of the first end. Each multiple first fastener set is formed on a corresponding outer surface. The mounting frame is mounted around the second end of the tapered shell and has multiple exterior surfaces and multiple second fastener sets. Each exterior surface aligns with a corresponding outer surface of the tapered shell in a plane. Each second fastener set is formed on a corresponding exterior surface. The cover plates are detachably attached to the tapered shell and the mounting frame. The cabinet assembly is easily manufactured and assembled.

1 . A cabinet assembly comprising:
 at least one assembly unit, each one of the at least one assembly unit comprising:
 a tapered shell formed hollow and having
 a first end having a diameter; 
 a second end having a diameter, the diameter of the second end smaller than the diameter of the first end; 
 multiple sidewalls defining a cavity, each sidewall extending from the first end to the second end and having
 two borders respectively connected to two adjacent sidewalls; and 
 at least one mounting slot formed on the sidewall near the second end; 
 
 a polygonal collar attached to the sidewalls, extending from the first end toward the second end and having
 multiple outer surfaces, each outer surface opposite to a corresponding sidewall; and 
 
 multiple first fastener sets, each first fastener set formed on a corresponding outer surface of the polygonal collar; and 
 
 a mounting frame formed hollow, mounted around the second end of the tapered shell and having
 multiple attaching surfaces defining an opening for accommodating the second end of the tapered shell, each attaching surface having
 at least one mounting projection corresponding to and engaging a corresponding mounting slot to connect the mounting frame and the tapered shell; 
 
 multiple exterior surfaces, each exterior surface aligning with a corresponding outer surface of the polygonal collar of the tapered shell in a plane; 
 multiple second fastener sets, each second fastener set formed on a corresponding exterior surface; and 
 
 multiple cover plates detachably attached to the tapered shell of the at least one assembly unit and the mounting frame of the at least one assembly unit and each cover plate having
 a body having
 a front side; 
 a rear side; 
 a flat top surface; and 
 a bottom surface; 
 
 multiple third fastener sets respectively formed on the bottom surface at the front side and the rear side of the body of each cover plate, wherein each third fastener set at the front side of the body engages a corresponding first fastener set of the polygonal collar of a corresponding one of the at least one assembly unit; each third fastener set at the rear side of the body engages a corresponding second fastener set of the mounting frame of a corresponding one of the at least one assembly unit. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The cabinet assembly of the  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the multiple sidewalls of the tapered shell is parallel to the corresponding outer surface of the polygonal collar. 
     
     
         3 . The cabinet assembly of the  claim 1  comprising multiple assembly units as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein one of the first fastener sets of one of the multiple assembly units engages a corresponding first fastener set of an adjacent assembly unit of the multiple assembly units; and one of the second fasteners of the one of the multiple assembly units engages a corresponding second fastener set in the adjacent assembly unit. 
     
     
         4 . The cabinet assembly of the  claim 1 , further comprising:
 multiple decoration panels detachably attached to the tapered shell and the mounting frame of one of the multiple assembly units and each decoration panel having   a base mounted on the tapered shell and having
 a front side; 
 a rear side; 
 multiple through holes; and 
 multiple fourth fastener sets respectively formed at the front side and the rear side of the base, wherein each fourth fastener set at the front side of the base engages a corresponding first fastener set of the polygonal collar of the tapered shell; and each fourth fastener set at the rear side of the base engages a corresponding second fastener set of the mounting frame. 
   
     
     
         5 . The cabinet assembly of the  claim 1 , wherein the tapered shell has six sidewalls; the mounting frame has a hexagon shape in cross section and six attaching surfaces, each attaching surface abutting against a corresponding sidewall of the tapered shell. 
     
     
         6 . The cabinet assembly of the  claim 2 , wherein the at least one assembly unit further comprises a partition dividing the cavity inside the tapered shell into two. 
     
     
         7 . The cabinet assembly of the  claim 2 , wherein each first fastener set has a male fastener and a female fastener; and each second fastener set has a male fastener and a female fastener. 
     
     
         8 . An assembly unit comprising:
 a tapered shell formed hollow and having
 a first end having a diameter; 
 a second end having a diameter, the diameter of the second end smaller than the diameter of the first end; 
 multiple sidewalls defining a cavity, each sidewall extending from the first end to the second end and having
 two borders respectively connected to two adjacent sidewalls; and 
 at least one mounting slot formed on the sidewall near the second end; 
 
 a polygonal collar attached to the sidewalls, extending from the first end toward the second end and having
 multiple outer surfaces, each outer surface opposite to a corresponding sidewall; and 
 
 multiple first fastener sets, each first fastener set formed on a corresponding outer surface of the polygonal collar; and 
   a mounting frame formed hollow, mounted around the second end of the tapered shell and having
 multiple attaching surfaces defining an opening for accommodating the second end of the tapered shell, each attaching surface having
 at least one mounting projection corresponding to and engaging a corresponding mounting slot to connect the mounting frame and the tapered shell; 
 
 multiple exterior surfaces, each exterior surface aligning with a corresponding outer surface of the polygonal collar of the tapered shell in a plane; and 
 multiple second fastener sets, each second fastener set formed on a corresponding exterior surface.
