Shelf cabinet

Claim 2

A shelf cabinet comprising: a pair of spaced upright shelf-supporting sidewalls formed with at least one pair of horizontal grooves, one groove being provided on each of said sidewalls; said sidewalls being additionally provided with further grooves extending downwardly from and opening at one end into said horizontal grooves; a shelf slidably and releasably mounted in said at least one pair of grooves and a clothes hanger rod slidably and releasably mounted in said further grooves in a position spaced below said shelf; wherein said horizontal grooves extend fully across said sidewalls whereby said shelf may be slidably inserted therein from either one of the side edges of said sidewalls.

Claim 3

A shelf cabinet as claimed in claim 1, further including a shelf slidably mounted in said horizontal grooves and at least one clothes-hanger rod releasably munted, at the ends thereof, at the bottom of said further grooves.

Claim 4

A shelf cabinet as claimed in claim 2, comprising two pairs of further grooves and two clothes-hanger rods releasably mounted at the bottom of said further grooves, said further grooves extending down perpendicularly from said horizontal grooves.

Claim 5

A shelf cabinet as claimed in claim 2, wherein said further grooves are provided in pairs on said sidewalls, are inclined toward one another and meet one another at an apex, said clothes-hanging rod lying at said apices of said pairs of inclined grooves.

Claim 6

A shelf cabinet according to claim 1, wherein said further grooves are two in number, one on each of said sidewalls, said further grooves being inclined with respect to said horizontal grooves.

Claim 7

A shelf cabinet according to claim 2, wherein said grooves and said rod are square in cross-section, said rod non-rotatably slidably fitting in said grooves.

Claim 8

A shelf cabinet as claimed in claim 1, comprising stop means on said shelf along edges thereof that are inserted into said horizontal grooves, whereby to control the length of insertion of said shelf in said horizontal grooves.

Claim 9

A shelf cabinet according to claim 7, wherein said shelf comprises a narrow portion inserted into said horizontal grooves and a wide portion extending from said narrow portion, said stop means being shoulders formed at the intersection of said shelf portions.

Claim 10

A shelf cabinet as claimed in claim 1, including means joining said sidewalls at the top and at the bottom thereof whereby to define therewith a generally rectangular upright frame open at the front and back.

Claim 11

A shelf cabinet comprising: a pair of parallel upright spaced sidewalls defining an enclosure therebetween, each sidewall being formed with a plurality of horizontal shelf-supporting grooves opening towards said enclosure, said grooves of one of said sidewalls pairing with the grooves of the other sidewall; shelves, each slidably mounted in the grooves of one of said pairs of grooves; said sidewalls being provided with further grooves arranged in pairs between said sidewalls; wherein said further grooves extend downwardly from and open at one end into said horizontal grooves; and clothes-hanger rods releasably mounted, at the ends thereof, at the bottom of said further grooves spaced below said shelf; wherein said horizontal grooves extend fully across said sidewalls whereby said shelves may be slidably inserted therein from either one of the side edges of said sidewalls.

Claim 12

A shelf cabinet comprising: a pair of parallel upright spaced sidewalls defining an enclosure therebetween, each sidewall being formed with a plurality of horizontal shelf-supporting grooves opening towards said enclosure, said grooves of one of said sidewalls pairing with the grooves of the other sidewall; shelves, each slidably mounted in the grooves of one of said pairs of grooves; said sidewalls being provided with further grooves arranged in pairs between said sidewalls; wherein said further grooves extend downwardly from and open at one end into said horizontal grooves; and clothes-hanger rods releasably mounted, at the ends thereof, at the bottom of said further grooves spaced below said shelf; wherein said horizontal grooves extend fully across said sidewalls whereby said shelves may be slidably inserted therein from either one of the side edges of said sidewalls.

Claim 13

A shelf cabinet as claimed in claim 10, wherein said further grooves extend down perpendicularly from said horizontal grooves.

Claim 14

A shelf cabinet as claimed in claim 10, wherein said further grooves are provided in pairs on said sidewalls, are inclined toward one another and meet one another at an apex, said clothes-hanger rods lying at said apices of said pairs of inclined further grooves.

Claim 15

A shelf cabinet as claimed in claim 10, wherein the further grooves of each pair are inclined at one predetermined angle from said horizontal grooves.

Claim 16

A shelf cabinet as claimed in claim 10, wherein said grooves and said rods are square in cross-section, said rods non-rotatably slidably fitting in said grooves.

Claim 17

A shelf cabinet as claimed in claim 10, comprising stop means on said shelves along the edges thereof that are inserted into one of said pairs of horizontal grooves whereby to control the length of insertion of said shelves in said horizontal grooves.

Claim 18

A shelf cabinet as claimed in claim 15, wherein each shelf comprises a narrow portion inserted in said horizontal grooves and a wide portion extending from said narrow portion, said stop means being shoulders formed at the intersection of said shelf portions.

Claim 19

A shelf cabinet as claimed in claim 10, including means joining said sidewalls at the top and at the bottom thereof whereby to define therewith a generally rectangular upright frame open at the front and back.

Claim 20

A shelf cabinet as claimed in claim 17, wherein said horizontal grooves extend fully across said sidewalls whereby said shelves may be slidably inserted therein selectively from the front and from the back of said upright frame.

Claim 21

A shelf cabinet as claimed in claim 9, wherein said horizontal grooves extend fully across said sidewalls whereby said shelves may be slidably inserted therein selectively from the front and from the back of said upright frame.
