Abstract: The PTV cabinetry of the present invention utilizes an integrally weighted base that enables the cabinet to satisfy load bearing and tip over standards without requiring the addition of separate weights. The base preferably includes a raised region and at least one lower region. Fill material is poured into the base, and substantially within the lower region, and allowed to set and harden. The fill material used is any suitable material having a density sufficient to act as a weight, such as, e.g., a concrete and fiber mixture or a metallic material. The raised region of the base may include a plurality of openings that allows heat to dissipate from within the interior space of the cabinet. The integrally weighted base of the present invention replaces a typical flat bottom panel of a typical PTV cabinet and further eliminates the need for attaching separate weights onto a bottom panel of a typical PTV cabinet.

Abstract: An integrally weighted base suitable for attachment to a bottom surface of an enclosure to form an integrally weighted cabinet. The integrally weighted cabinet is able to satisfy load bearing and tip over standards without requiring the addition of separate weights. The base preferably includes a frame and fill material disposed within the frame. The frame may be metal or plastic. Fill material is poured into the frame and allowed to set. The fill material may be any suitable material having a density sufficient to act as a weight or counterbalance, such as, e.g., concrete, a concrete and fiber mixture, metal, or a concrete and metal mixture. The base may further include a plurality of openings to dissipate heat from within the interior space of the cabinet. In one implementation of the present invention, the base replaces a bottom panel of a typical PTV cabinet and further eliminates the need for attaching separate weights onto a bottom panel of a typical PTV cabinet.

Abstract: The cabinetry of the present invention facilitates lower manufacturing costs, lighter products that are easier to maneuver and less costly to transport, and simpler product assembly by reducing the number parts to be assembled, while maintaining the structural integrity of the cabinetry. The PTV cabinetry of the present invention utilizes molded plastic foam parts formed from expanded polystyrene or phenolic foam. The foam parts are preferably functionally designed to replace the equivalent parts presently being made by wood fabrication or other molded plastic techniques. In a preferred embodiment, a PTV cabinet may be assembled from thee matching molded foam parts. The foam parts in accordance with the present invention may be uniquely located with respect to one another via locating features molded into the foam parts. Once assembled, an external cabinet or cosmetic fascia part may be placed over the foam parts.
