1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a cabinet.
2. Description of Related Art
Cabinet doors are generally made of armored plates. The armored plates are heavy and mounted to the cabinets with bolts, which is difficult and time-consuming to install. Furthermore, to open the cabinet, the door of the cabinet is generally rotated about one of the sidewalls of the cabinet, so that a space for the doors rotation needs to be provided, taking up much needed space.
Many aspects of the present embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, all the views are schematic, and like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure, including the accompanying drawings, is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.

In assembly, the sliding door 40 is received in the cabinet through the opening 300. The slide slots 42 are completely fitted around the first rails 100. The vertical slot 460 aligns with the fixing hole 204 in front of the first rail 100 of the bottom wall 20. The positioning bar 480 is pivoted forward to be disengaged from the unlocking slot 462, and the inserting bar 482 is slid down to be inserted into the fixing hole 204, to fix the sliding door 40 to the cabinet. The positioning bar 480 is then pivoted backward to be firmly received in the locking slot 464. At this time, the sliding door 40 contacts a rear sidewall bounding the opening 300.
In another embodiment, the slide slots 42 may be fitted around the second rails 101. At this time, a cover 50 (shown in
When mounting the cover 50 to the cabinet, the tab 586 is pressed downward to deform the spring 582 until the engaging portion 584 is completely received in the receiving space 54. The protrusions 52 are inserted into the positioning holes 202. The tab 586 is then released, and the spring 582 is restored to move the engaging portion 584 upward. The upper portion of the engaging portion 584 is inserted into the recess 102, to fix the cover 50 in the opening 300.
In disengaging the sliding door 40, the tab 586 is pressed downward to deform the spring 582, until the engaging portion 584 is completely received in the receiving space 54. An upper portion of the cover 50 is moved outward, and the cover 50 is then moved up to disengage the protrusions 52 from the corresponding positioning holes 202, thereby disengaging the cover 50 from the cabinet. The positioning bar 480 disengages from the locking slot 464 by pivoting forward, and the fixing member 48 is slid upward to disengage the inserting bar 482 from the corresponding fixing hole 204. Therefore, the sliding door 40 is readily slid out of the cabinet through the opening 300.
In use, a plurality of cabinets is arranged side by side. The first rails 100 of the top walls 10 are arranged in a line, and the first rails 100 of the bottom walls 20 are arranged in a line. The second rails 101 of the top walls 10 are arranged in a line, and the second rails 101 of the bottom walls 20 are arranged in a line. At this time, if the sliding door 40 of a cabinet is mounted to the first rails 100, the sliding door 40 of the adjacent cabinet is mounted to the second rails 101 of the adjacent cabinet. Therefore, the sliding doors 40 are staggered from each other and received in the corresponding cabinet, such that each sliding door 40 is capable of being slid behind or in front of an adjacent sliding door 40. At this time, two covers 50 are needed to cover the outmost openings 300.
In another embodiment, the outmost channels 300 may be omitted. The sliding doors 40 are installed in the cabinets firstly, and the cabinets are then set side by side.
It is believed that the present embodiments and their advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and various changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the description or sacrificing all of their material advantages, the examples hereinbefore described merely being exemplary embodiments.
