Abstract
A corner junction for a cabinet, including a gusset plate having two profile sections secured thereto and including two adjacent joining surfaces which extend perpendicularly to a plane of the profile sections. A foot having complementary joining surfaces is secured to the gusset plate, such that the complementary joining surfaces are received by and abut against the joining surfaces of the gusset plate. At least one protruding portion extends from the foot and at least one complementary notch is formed in the gusset plate or the profile sections, the complementary notch receiving the protruding portion to lock the foot from translating in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the foot. Additionally, a securing device is provided to secure the foot to the gusset plate, by clamping the foot between the joining surfaces. The foot is adapted to engage the gusset plate by translation along a direction parallel to the plane of the profile sections. A parallelepipedic cabinet is provided which incorporates the corner junction, and which has a vertical support pillars which are individually removable without disassembling a roof frame or a base frame formed by the profile secti…
