Abstract

A cabinet assembly has at least one cabinet. Each cabinet is a frame and has multiple erect bars, a front board, a rear board, a bottom board, a left opening, a right opening, a wheel assembly and an inner chamber. The wheel assembly is mounted on a lower surface of the bottom board and has multiple wheels and a substrate. The wheels are mounted on the lower surface of the bottom board. The substrate is mounted below the bottom board and contacts to the wheels, allows the wheels to slide on the substrate and holds the cabinet. The inner chamber is formed between the front board, the rear board and the bottom board and communicates with the left opening and the right opening. Therefore, users put the objects from both the left opening and the right opening, so the cabinet assembly is very convenient for the users.

Claims

1. A cabinet assembly comprising

at least one cabinet and each one of the at least one cabinet being a frame and having

multiple erect bars;

a front board;

a rear board;

a bottom board having a lower surface;

a left opening;

a right opening;

a wheel assembly being mounted on the lower surface of the bottom board and having

multiple wheels being mounted on the lower surface of the bottom board; and

a substrate being mounted below the bottom board and contacting the wheels, allowing the wheels to slide on the substrate and holding the cabinet; and

an inner chamber being formed between the front board, the rear board and the bottom board and communicating with the left opening and the right opening.

2. The cabinet assembly as claimed in claim 1, each one of the at least one cabinet further comprising a top board;

and

the front board of each one of the at least one cabinet further having at least one handle being mounted on the front board.

3. The cabinet assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein the wheel assembly of each one of the at least one cabinet has two lines of wheels being mounted longitudinally on the lower surface of the bottom board of the cabinet in parallel and are respectively near the left opening and the right opening of the cabinet.

4. The cabinet assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein each line of the wheels has

a first group of wheels being mounted longitudinally on the lower surface of the bottom board near the front board of a corresponding one of the at least one cabinet;

and

a second group of wheels being mounted longitudinally on the lower surface of the bottom board near the rear board of the corresponding cabinet; and

the substrate of each one of the at least one cabinet has

an upper surface;

a front;

a rear;

two sides; and

two channels being formed in the upper surface of the substrate, corresponding respectively to the second groups of wheels of the cabinet and allowing the second groups of wheels to slide along the channels.

5. The cabinet assembly as claimed in claim 4, wherein each channel has two limiting protrusions respectively protruding in the channel from the front and the rear of the substrate of a corresponding one of the at least one cabinet and limiting the second groups of wheels on the corresponding cabinet to slide only in the channel.

6. The cabinet assembly as claimed in claim 5, wherein the substrate of each one of the at least one cabinet further comprises

a first connector being formed in one of the sides of the substrate;

and

a second connector corresponding to the first connector, being formed in the other side of the substrate;

whereby the second connector of one substrate connects the first connector of an adjacent substrate.

7. The cabinet assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cabinet assembly comprises more than two cabinets and one of the cabinets further has a sideboard selectively attached to the left opening and the right opening of the cabinet.

8. The cabinet assembly as claimed in claim 6, wherein the cabinet assembly comprises more than two cabinets and one of the cabinets further has a sideboard selectively attached to the left opening and the right opening of the cabinet.

9. The cabinet assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the inner chamber of each one of the at least one cabinet comprises a central partition to separate the inner chamber to a right inner chamber and a left inner chamber, wherein

the right inner chamber communicates with the right opening of the cabinet and has multiple layers of shelves connecting to the erect bars of the cabinet and being parallel with the bottom board of the cabinet;

and

the left inner chamber communicates with the left opening of the cabinet and has multiple layers of the shelves connecting to the erect bars of the cabinet and being parallel with the bottom board of the cabinet.

10. The cabinet assembly as claimed in claim 6, wherein the inner chamber of each one of the at least one cabinet comprises a central partition to separate the inner chamber to a right inner chamber and a left inner chamber, wherein
