  • Patent number: 4579400
    Abstract: A locker whose basic enclosure, and also its frame, are essentially formed from five sheet metal members. The sheet metal members form the sides, back, top and bottom of the locker. Certain of the sheet metal members (particularly the side and top members) also have respective portions of the frame integrally formed therewith. The frame portions, when interconnected, form the support frame for the locker and also join the sides, back, top and bottom members together to complete the locker's enclosure. The frame portions also define part of the front side of the locker, and form a door opening in the locker. A locker door is pivotally movable relative to the door opening to control access to the locker's interior. The top and bottom sheet metal members are structurally identical to each other, so that only a single type of forming operation is required to form both sheet metal members.
