  • The present patent application for industrial invention relates to a wall cabinet for modular kitchens provided on the bottom with at least one metal section with box-shaped structure, which is used to contain or hang accessories, such as for example LED light bars or underthecabinet elements, such paper towel roll holders, basket holders, hooks for ladles holders, forks holders, etc. Wall cabinets for modular kitchen have a standardised structural configuration, which comprises a parallelepiped body, possibly closed by a front door, and composed of two identical horizontal bottoms, a lower and an upper one, and two identical lateral sides, a right and a left one, with the interposition of a thin back panel used for covering purposes, without a bearing function, unlike the bottoms and the sides, which are mainly composed of rigid sturdy boards made of laminated chipboard or medio-densit wood.
  • It must be noted that the rigid connection between the two sides is obtained by means of the two bottoms, which are normally screwed and/or glued between the sides.
  • Currently, the aforementioned underthecabinet accessories are fixed to the wall directly or under the bottom of the cabinet close to the back side, using traditional fixing means, such as screws or glue.
  • In both cases the fixing means require mounting and dismounting operations that must be performed by specialised personnel.
  • When the said accessories and relevant support means are removed, indelible marks are left by the screws or the glue on the wall or the bottom of the wall cabinet.
  • The purpose of the present invention is to find a remedy to the latter problem, by devising a new model of cabinet for modular kitchens, which is provided on the bottom with at least one metal section with box-shaped structure used to house or hang the said accessories.
  • An additional purpose of the present invention is to devise a LED light bar that is inserted into the said metal section in a simple, easy way in order to sell the said bar separately after purchasing the wall cabinet, leaving the final user the task and satisfaction to install the said light bar personally.
  • These and other purposes have been achieved by the present invention, as described in the main claim and in the following dependent or sub-dependent claims.
  • According to the preferred embodiment, the wall cabinet of the invention has two lateral sides and two bottoms, with the interposition of two box-shaped metal sections between them, the front one being suitably shaped to house a LED light bar, and the back one being suitably shaped to hook the aforementioned underthecabinet accessories.
  • When the accessories and light bar are removed, the bottom of the wall cabinet does not show anti-aesthetical marks that alter the surface finish, since the metal sections are integrated in the cabinet structure with a decorative function, being practically composed of two aluminium strips that aesthetically finish the front and the back side of the bottom of the cabinet.
  • Finally, it must be noted that the metal section designed to be positioned in adjacent position to the back side of the bottom of the cabinet is provided with a longitudinal groove with upward opening, designed to be used as housing for the lower edge of the back panel, which is recessed in the current models of cabinets into a suitable notch obtained on the upper side of the bottom of the wall cabinet.
