Description

The present patent disclosure refers to systems applied to cabinet body that mates quick mounting and fixing applied to the furniture area, specially to steel cabinets, for joining took apart pieces by fitting and screwing them or for mounting and joining them by welding. The cabinet body presents steel back part having a bend that forms a small backlash, and eyebolt-shaped reliefs for quick mounting of the cabinet boxes. The top part has a wedged-shaped bend that when is joined to the strip-shaped steel plate having the wedge bend opposed to the one of the back part can be fixed to any wall, and a quick installation of the cabinet box on the wall is allowed.

The mounting systems currently used to mount box of took apart steel plate cabinets, specially to the back part, are fixed by joining the side, top and bottom parts to the back part, the side, top and bottom sections having bends that when in contact with the backside flat plate are joined using screws and nuts that pass through coincident bores. In another known system, the back part has a small backlash made by bends in contact with side, top and bottom parts of the cabinet, having U-shaped bends at the back part and fixed using screws and nuts or even self-tapping screw through coincident bores.

In turn, the systems, currently used to installation on a wall, commonly use a device that is fixed to the backside of the cabinet box back part, which is fitted to a panel having recesses that is fixed to the wall or can be fixed to the wall by the bores on the back part positioned at the installation place and fixed through screw and bush.
