Abstract:
A modular laboratory cabinet assembly, comprising:a pair of substantially similar unitary housing end units arranged in an inverted spaced apart relation to each other, each said end unit having a base bounded by front, rear, first and second sides terminating at a common peripheral edge separating interior and exterior surfaces of said end unit, each said base having a plurality of elongated supporting members with guiding apertures passing therethough; and at least one unitary U-shaped housing module interposed between said end units and having a rear side, a first side, a second side and a pair of front side portions depending inwardly from said first and second sides of the housing module, each said side portion of the housing module being defined by at least outer and inner surfaces and terminating at peripheral edges thereof, first and second ledges extending along and transversely to the respective first and second side portions of the housing module, a plurality of columns extending outwardly from said respective ledges and being spaced from the adjacent inner surfaces of said respective front, rear, first and second side portions, each said column having a longitudinal guiding channel passing therethrough wherein, the elongated longitudinal supporting members of the end units are substantially aligned with the respective columns of the module, so that the guiding apertures and the guiding channels form continuous air-tight passages extending through the entire assembly to receive connecting members.
