Abstract:
A bearing structure for cabinets, preferably containing electric and/or electronic apparatuses, comprising:a predetermined number of metal section members defining crosspiece elements (3), said crosspiece elements (3) being disposed so as to define at least one first and one second surrounding frame (6,7) respectively intended to be an engagement support of a first metal panel defining the cabinet roof or top and of a second metal panel defining the cabinet base or floor;a predetermined number of metal section members defining upright elements (2), said upright elements (2) being interposed between the first and the second surrounding frames along an assembling direction substantially perpendicular to said first and said second surrounding frames (6,7), the upright elements (2) presenting a cross section defining a substantially L shaped internal cavity, said upright elements (2) having an inner central edge substantially parallel to said assembling direction and directly exposed into the internal closed volume defined by the cabinet (1) and having an external recessed portion (2a) forming a hollow intended for being turned outwardly of the closed volume defined by the cabinet (1) and opposite to said inner central edge, said recessed portion (2a) being directly exposed to the external environment;first junction elements (5) operatively acting between the crosspiece elements (3) to form the first and the second surrounding frames (6,7);second junction elements (11) adapted to be rigidly fastened to the upright elements (2), said second junction elements (11) comprising at least a second anchoring portion (10) protruding from the upright element (2) cross section contour along a direction substantially perpendicular to the assembling direction and emerging in correspondence of the recessed portion (2a), the recessed portion (2a) being an external surface of the upright element (2); andat least a removable joining element (14) operatively located externally to the internal cavity of the upright element (2) and acting between the first junction members (5) and the second anchoring portion (10) emerging from the upright element (2).
