FIELD: personal use articles.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to production of collapsible metal cabinets intended for storage of garments within production, training, sport and other premises and is aimed at the cabinet manufacture labour intensity reduction. The sectional cabinet is designed in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped made of thin sheet metal and contains side walls and a rear wall, doors, ceiling pieces, bottoms and rectangular brackets. The sectional cabinet parts have stiffening ribs with edges flanged at a right angle. Each bracket consists of a cross piece and to horns with cross sections in the shape of a channel beam; the brackets horns, via one end of the channel beam shelves, are rigidly attached to the ends of the bracket cross piece channel beam shelves. Horns on identical channel beam shelves have resilient edge flanging positioned at a right angle into the horn inside with a groove made on each edge flanging. On the side walls (at least on two lines) and at the top and the bottom edges there are at least two pairs of tabs with through holes on each line, the tabs tips turned upwards and deflected into the cabinet inside. The grooves made on the horn channel beam flanging have a depth that is no less than the width of the projections, the grooves width at least equal to the other dimension of the projections. The projections made on the ceiling piece flanging are located inside the tabs holes, are arranged on the upper edges of the side walls; the projections made on the bottom flanging are positioned inside the holes in the tabs on the side walls lower edges. The rectangular brackets, projections, tabs and grooves ensure the cabinet assembly by efforts of a single worker without fixture fittings.

EFFECT: assembly process simplification.
