Abstract: A modular construction for rectangular doors, drawer fronts and like components of cabinets, closets, articles of furniture and the like is disclosed. Any such component includes a peripheral frame composed of four interlocked, preferably mitred, end butted side members, and a center panel or insert overlying the central opening of the frame and removably retained in place at the rear of the frame. The side members of the frame are injection molded of styrene or other suitable synthetic plastic material to basically identical constructions, each member being provided at one end thereof with an integral male connecting portion and at its other end with a matching recessed or female connecting portion to enable the four side members of the frame to be snapped together firmly at perfect right angles to each other. After assembly, the side members of the frame may be permanently cemented or bonded to one another at their junctures, and detachable back members may be screwed or otherwise secured to the back of the frame to assist in retaining the insert in place. All the structural units, i.e., the side and back members and the inserts, can be produced in a wide range of sizes. The invention thus makes it possible for a dealer to stock a relatively small selection of side members, inserts and back members of various sizes while yet being able to form therefrom a far larger number of combinations. This abstract is not to be taken either as a complete exposition or as a limitation of the present invention, however, the full nature and extent of the invention being discernible only by reference to and from the entire disclosure.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于矩形门，抽屉前端和橱柜，橱柜，家具等组件的模块化结构。 任何这样的部件包括由四个互锁的，优选地被破坏的端部对接的侧部构件组成的外围框架，以及覆盖框架的中心开口并且可移除地保持在框架的后部的适当位置的中心面板或插入件。 框架的侧构件由苯乙烯或其它合适的合成塑料材料注射成基本相同的结构，每个构件的一端设置有一体的阳连接部分，并且在另一端具有匹配的凹或阴连接部分 使框架的四个侧面构件能够以完美的直角相互牢固地卡在一起。 在组装之后，框架的侧部构件可以在其接合部处永久地胶合或彼此粘合，并且可拆卸的后部构件可以被螺纹连接或以其它方式固定到框架的后部，以有助于将插入件保持在适当的位置。 所有的结构单元，即侧部和后部构件以及插入件可以以宽范围的尺寸制造。 因此，本发明使得经销商可以存储各种尺寸的侧面构件，插入物和后部构件的相对较小的选择，同时能够从其形成更多数量的组合。 该摘要不应被视为完全阐述或作为本发明的限制，然而，本发明的完整性质和范围仅在参考和从整个公开内容中可以看出。
