Abstract

The application relates to a method of establishing four profiles which when releasably mounted together are forming a cabinet frame. The profiles are having folding areas comprising cutout parts.

Claims (25)

1. A method of assembling a cabinet frame, the method comprising the steps of:

a) establishing a first folding area in a profile, the first folding area comprises a first cutout part oriented in a first direction,

b) establishing a second folding area in the profile, the second folding area comprises a second cutout part oriented in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction,

c) folding the profile at the first folding area in the first direction defined by the first cutout part,

d) folding the profile at the second folding area in the second direction defined by the second cutout part,

e) repeating steps a)-d) to establish four folded profiles, and

f) connecting the four folded profiles to form a cabinet frame,

wherein the step of connecting the four folded profiles to form a cabinet frame includes the steps of:

connecting a first of the four folded profiles and a second of the four folded profiles, thereby forming a first side and part of a second side and fourth side of the cabinet frame,

connecting a third of the four folded profiles to the second of the four folded profiles, thereby forming the second side and part of a third side of the cabinet frame, and

connecting a fourth of the four folded profiles to the first and third profiles of the four folded profiles, thereby forming the third and fourth sides of the cabinet frame.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of connecting the four folded profiles to form a cabinet frame includes the steps of:

connecting a first of the four folded profiles and a second of the four folded profiles, thereby forming a first cabinet part,

connecting a third of the four folded profiles and a fourth of the four folded profiles, thereby forming a second cabinet part, and

connecting the first and second cabinet parts, thereby forming the cabinet frame.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second folding areas further includes an additional cut-out part.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein step c and step d includes mounting a corner fitting in the profile at the first folding area and at the second folding area prior to folding,

wherein a first part of the corner fitting is mounted inside the profile leaving a second part of the corner fitting extending outside the profile at an additional cut-out part when the profile is folded.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the four folded profiles are mounted by the corner fittings, and wherein each said corner fitting comprises a nut, threaded part or a flexible protruding part by which the corner fitting is fastened to the profile.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of step a and step b further includes establishing a folding angle support part, and wherein at least one of step c and step d further includes folding the profile in an angle defined by the folding angle support part.

7. A cabinet frame assembly including four profiles and eight identical corner fittings, wherein the four profiles are identical and each comprises a first folding area and a second folding area, the first folding area being rotated 90 degrees on the profile with respect to the second folding area,

wherein each of the first and second folding areas comprises a cutout part and an additional cutout part, wherein the cutout parts are turned 90 degrees on the profile with respect to the additional cutout parts,

wherein the corner fittings each have a first part perpendicular to a second part, wherein dimensions of the first and second parts are identical thereby facilitating mounting inside the profiles, and

wherein the additional cutout part facilitates one of the first or second part to extend out from the profile when a second of the first or second part is mounted inside the profile.

8. The cabinet frame assembly according to claim 7 , wherein each of the first and second folding areas further comprises a folding angle support part comprising a protruding part and a cave in part.
