A knockdown article of furniture formed of a plurality of panels. A number of the panels are interengaged by slidably interengaging male and female extruded fittings secured on edges and surfaces of the panels. A further panel is slidable in grooves formed in the slidably interengaged panels and is secured to one of the number of slidably interengaged panels, to lock all of the panels into unitary structure.
A display case includes at least two adjacent modules. Each of the modules includes an upper frame support and lower frame support. Each of the frame supports include carrying frame sections and corner connecting members. The carrying frame members are adapted to be rigidly connected to the corner connecting members. At least one intermodule connecting member interconnects adjacent modules. The at least one intermodule connecting member is adapted to be rigidly connected to the corner connecting members of the adjacent modules. The corner connecting members are formed as prisms and have grooves on vertical surfaces for engagement with protrusions contained on the carrying frame sections or the at least one intermodule connecting member. At least one glass panel is disposed between each upper frame support and lower frame support of the adjacent modules on the carrying frame sections wherein only one vertical side edge of one of the at least one glass panel is fitted with a seal which is in contact with the other of the at least one glass panel.
Modular furniture such as wardrobes, clothes lockers, shelving, sliding door cabinets, filing cabinets and the like, is assembled from extruded sections that snap together at their ends and that also have special interconnecting members. Particular provision is made for the reception of sliding door panels and for the hanging of shelves from the modules, the sliding doors being lockable.
