  • Patent number: 5588726
    Abstract: A cabinet wall board assembly including a horizontal board, a wall board and multiple adjoining members. The horizontal board is formed with a connecting channel and each adjoining member has a first end for inserting into the connecting channel, a second end disposed with multiple equally spaced tenons and an engaging face under the tenons. Each tenon has an arch bottom. The wall board has an upper end disposed with multiple dovetail mortises corresponding to the tenons of the adjoining member and has a supporting face on inner side of the dovetail mortises for engaging with the engaging face of the adjoining member. The horizontal board is associated with the wall board with the tenons inserted in the mortises and the engaging face supported by the supporting face so that the horizontal board is reinforced to bear heavier load. In a working site, the horizontal board and the wall board can be easily and quickly assembled into the cabinet.
