Abstract

The invention relates to a method for storing and mounting the body for a cabinet, furniture or the like, consisting of two sides (2, 3), top (1) and base (4), where adjacent end sections of said sides, top and base are provided with articulation devices (6, 7, 8, 11) to join the parts together. Said sides, top and base are arranged in transport or storage state such that said top and one of the sides (1, 2) lie parallel with said base and the other side (3, 4). The body is mounted by moving said two sides (2, 3), together with the top (1) and base (4), in mutually parallel relationship like a parallellogram until said two sides (2, 3) are vertical, whereafter at least one of the two sets of articulation devices (6, 8) situated diagonally in the body is releasably locked into position. The means for forming an articulated joint between adjacent end sections of the structural parts, e.g., sides, top and base of a body for a cabinet or the like, comprises a cup-shaped body (6, 7, 8) which is hinge-connected to an approximately L-shaped (8'), U-shaped (6') or stepped straight arm. The arm may be equipped with a rotatable tension pin adapted for engagement with a recess in the member.
