Abstract:
A movable combination storage and room divider system is provided incorporating a plurality of individual movable storage cabinets and supporting tracks. The individual storage cabinets are constructed of planar sheet materials that are assembled into a hollow box. Rigid connection members at the corners of the box support cabinet bracing and accept tie members that when tensioned hold together the hollow box. Elongated rigid z-section members are used to join to the assembled hollow box a rigid planar back or rigid planar doors, and may be used to conceal from external view panel edges and mechanical fasteners, making the storage cabinet finished on all sides and allowing it to be used also as a room divider. Individual storage cabinets move on castors having a circumferential groove in their wheels, which groove articulates with a spine fabricated into a dedicated track to guide cabinet movement.
