Abstract

A blade based cabinet system and method. A disclosed cabinetry system includes cabinetry system, comprising: a pair of mounting rails that are horizontally mountable to a wall; a set of blade assemblies, each having a substantially planar profile; and a mounting interface adapted to connect the set of blade assemblies to the pair of mounting rails, orthogonal to the wall to form a cabinet chassis.

Claims (33)

1. A cabinetry system, comprising:

at least one mounting rail horizontally mountable to a wall, wherein the at least one mounting rail has a substantially C-shaped profile;

a set of blade assemblies, each including an open frame having a substantially planar profile, wherein the open frame comprises a front section and a rear section, each section having an inner edge and an outer edge, and wherein the rear section further comprises a notch on the outer edge and a passageway between the inner edge and notch; and

a mounting insert having a substantially H-shaped profile, wherein the mounting insert slidably engages with the substantially C-shaped profile of the at least one mounting rail and partially mates with the notch, and wherein the mounting insert and the notch are configured to lock together via a fastener inserted into the passageway.

2. The cabinetry system of claim 1 , wherein the fastener comprises a bolt.

3. The cabinetry system of claim 2 , wherein the mounting insert includes a threaded region for receiving the bolt.

4. The cabinetry system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a top panel attachable to a top section of each of the blade assemblies; and

a bottom panel attachable to a bottom section of each of the blade assemblies.

5. The cabinetry system of claim 1 , wherein at least one mounting rail includes a measuring guide for locating blade assemblies.

6. The cabinetry system of claim 1 , wherein each blade assembly includes a top section and a bottom section bolted to a front section and a rear section.

7. A method of constructing a cabinet unit, comprising:

horizontally attaching a pair of mounting rails to a wall;

sliding a mounting insert into each of the pair of mounting rails, wherein the mounting inserts include a substantially H-shaped profile;

providing a set of blade assemblies, each having a substantially planar profile; and

attaching each of the blade assemblies to a pair of mounting inserts, wherein each of the blade assemblies is locked to the pair of mounting inserts and the mounting rails to form a cabinet chassis such that the blade assemblies are positioned orthogonal to the wall.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the set of blade assemblies further comprise a notch on an outer edge of each blade assembly, wherein the notch mates with the mounting insert or the mounting rail.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the mounting rails include at least one of a substantially C-shaped profile, I-beam profile or an L-shaped profile.

10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

attaching a top panel to a top section of each of the blade assemblies; and

attaching a bottom panel to a bottom section of each of the blade assemblies.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein each blade assembly is assembled by bolting a top section and a bottom section bolted to a front section and a rear section.

12. The cabinet system of claim 7 , wherein a mounting insert is connected to a mounting clamp on both sides of the blade assembly.

13. The method of claim 7 , wherein the mounting insert further includes a threaded area aligned with a bored passageway in each blade assembly, wherein a bolt locks each of the blade assembly to the mounting rail.

14. A cabinetry system, comprising:

at least one mounting rail, having one side adapted to be horizontally mounted to a wall and a second side having a substantially male profile;

a set of blade assemblies, each of the blade assemblies having a substantially planar profile, a threaded region and a bolt that threadibly engages the mounting rail, and a cutout, wherein the cutout is shaped to mate and slidably engage the male profile of the mounting rail, to form a cabinet chassis.

15. The cabinetry system of claim 14 , wherein each blade assembly includes a top section and a bottom section bolted to a front section and a rear section.

16. A method of constructing a cabinet unit, comprising:

horizontally attaching a pair of mounting rails to a wall;

sliding a mounting insert into each of the pair of mounting rails;

providing a set of blade assemblies, each blade assembly having a substantially planar profile, and including a notch on an inner edge of each blade assembly and a mounting clamp that mates with the notch and is connectable to the mounting insert; and

attaching each of the blade assemblies to a pair of mounting inserts, wherein each of the blade assemblies is locked to the pair of mounting inserts and the mounting rails to form a cabinet chassis such that the blade assemblies are positioned orthogonal to the wall.
