Abstract:
A kit is provided that, when assembled, forms a unit of furniture. The kit includes side panels that can rotate about the z axis along the hinge and which have one or more support surfaces to support a base panel. A top panel is connected to the side panels and back panel by a plurality of position members. The kit comprises a plurality of flexible fasteners to reverse-ably lock the side panels to the base panel and to lock the side panels to the top panel and restrict the side panels from z-axis rotation and restrict the base panel and top panel from y-axis rotation. Also provided are methods of assembling and manufacturing the unit of furniture.

Claim (Index 1):
A kit that, when assembled, forms a unit of furniture, the kit comprising:\n a back panel, a top panel, a base panel, and two side panels that, when assembled, form a case, the case defining a storage volume having a height along a y-axis, a width along an x-axis, and a thickness along a z-axis; a plurality of position members; wherein the side panel defines at least one upwardly facing support surface extending along an x-z plane; wherein the back panel is configured to extend along an x-y plane, the back panel having a top, a bottom, and two sides; wherein each of the side panels has a top, a bottom, and two sides and is attached to an opposing side of the back panel by a folding hinge at a side of the side panel, wherein the side panels are configured to rotate about the y axis along the hinge from a closed position substantially parallel to the back panel to an open position that extends along a y-z plane; wherein each of the side panels is configured to define at least one position member receptacle on the top of the side panel, with the plurality of position members configured to extend along the y-axis when installed into the top of the side panels; wherein the base panel, upon assembly, is configured to extend along an x-z plane, and the base panel may be positioned on top of the support surface and between the side panels; wherein the top panel, upon assembly, is configured to extend along an x-z plane, positioned on top of the side panels, wherein the top panel upon assembly may be connected to the side panels by the plurality of position members installed into the top of the side panels and a bottom surface of the top panel, and wherein the position members restrict the top panel from relative movement along the x and z axes; and a plurality of pre-installed flexible fasteners, wherein a toggle portion of the fasteners is mounted to the side panel and at least one hook portion of a fastener is mounted to an outer surface of the base panel such that the fastener interacts in an x-z plane, and at least one hook portion is mounted to an inner surface of the top panel such that the fastener interacts in the y-z plane, and wherein the toggle portions reversibly attach to the plurality of hook portions to lock the side panels to the base panel and to lock the side panels to the top panel and to restrict the side panels from relative rotation about the y-axis and restrict the base panel and top panel from y-axis movement relative to the side panels.
