Abstract

A side cabinet and hutch system 10 comprising a hutch assembly 100 and a side cabinet assembly 500 and which is adapted to allow material to be easily and securely stored and retrieved and which is aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound.

Claims (6)

1 ) A toolbox assembly comprising a hutch portion; a side cabinet portion; and a toolbox portion which is selectively coupled to said hutch portion and to said side cabinet portion.

2 ) The toolbox assembly of claim 1 wherein said hutch portion includes a selectively movable door having an axis of symmetry and including a generally planar surface having a formed depression which resides upon said axis of symmetry; a selectively movable locking member which resides within said formed depression; and a locking portions which is coupled to said locking member and which prevents movement of said selectively movable door wherein said locking member is within a certain position within said formed depression.

3 ) A hutch assembly comprising a bottom panel assembly including a bottom member; a bottom support member having a pair of opposed planar surfaces and having a plurality of apertures which cooperatively allow said bottom support member to be selectively coupled to said bottom member and to a surface of a toolbox wherein a first one of said pair of said opposed planar surfaces selectively engages said toolbox and wherein a second one of said pair of said opposed planar surfaces selectively engages said bottom member, thereby selectively coupling said bottom member to said toolbox, and wherein said hutch assembly further includes a panel which resides between said bottom member and said bottom support member and which is coupled to each of said bottom member and said bottom support member; a plurality of panels which are coupled to said bottom support member and which cooperatively form a cavity; a shelf which is disposed within said cavity and which is coupled to at least two of said plurality of said panels, wherein said shelf has a planar top surface, an opposed and flat bottom surfaces, and a plurality of edge surfaces which are respectively orthogonal to each of said planar top surface and said flat bottom surface, and wherein only a single one of said plurality of edge surfaces includes a plurality of slots and wherein a first of said plurality of slots includes a USB receptacle, a second of said plurality of slots includes a switch, and a third of said plurality of slots includes a power strip and wherein each of said USB receptacle, said switch, and said power strip are each wholly, respectively, and completely contained within said shelf and respectively move within said cavity as said shelf is moved within said cavity, and wherein said hutch assembly further includes a plurality of substantially identical track assemblies which are respectively coupled to third and fourth panels of said plurality of panels; a first bearing assembly which is disposed with a first of said plurality of substantially identical track assemblies and a second bearing assembly which is disposed within a second of said plurality of substantially identical track assemblies; and a trolley member which is coupled to said first and second bearing assemblies and which is selectively movable only in a first direction toward said cavity and a second direction away from said cavity, and wherein said hutch assembly further includes a door member which is coupled to said trolley member.

4 ) The hutch assembly of claim 3 further including at least one drawer which is disposed within said cavity and which is selectively movable from a first retracted position within said cavity to a second extended position out of said cavity, and wherein said at least one drawer includes a front member having a generally planar surface which integrally terminates into a “s” shaped lip which forms a reception trough; a planar member which is received into said trough and which is coupled to said generally planar surface of said front member; and a handle which is coupled to said front member.

5 ) A kit comprising a hutch and slide cabinet each of which may be selectively and independently coupled to a toolbox assembly.

6 ) The kit of claim 5 wherein said side cabinet includes a body; and at least one drawer which is disposed within said body and which is selectively movable from a first retracted position within said body to a second extended position out of said body, and wherein said at least one drawer includes a front member having a generally planar surface which integrally terminates into a “s” shaped lip which forms a reception trough; a planar member which is received into said trough and which is coupled to said generally planar surface of said front member; and a handle which is coupled to said front member.
