Abstract

A cabinet with a movable glass wall has a double sided foam adhesive tape connecting the glass to a plate forming part of the hinge, slide suspension or other opening and closing linkage. The tape is resiliently compressible and avoids strains tending to damage the glass during opening and closing movements. Cabinets with a plurality of glass sides have extruded edging strips which provide surfaces for bonding to the edges of the glass disposed at 45.degree. to the main surfaces of the strip. The edging strip stiffens and reinforces the glass, allowing the use of thinner glass sheets and provides a convenient means for attaching the sheets together at corners.
