A knock-down file cabinet and in particular, a vertical file cabinet wherein both the cabinet housing and each of the drawers have a knock-down construction. The drawers use either separate components that are slidably fitted together, or a single sheet of material that defines the bottom, side and back walls. Each drawer construction is usable within the cabinet housing so as to define a complete knock-down vertical file cabinet which can be readily shipped in a relatively compact container or package and thereafter assembled together.

[ The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:] [1.] In a file cabinet including a box-like enclosure having a hollow interior which is open on a front thereof, said enclosure being defined by vertically enlarged first and second side walls which ex tend upwardly and are laterally spaced apart, a vertically enlarged back wall extending laterally between said first and second side walls and a front support frame which joins front edges of said first and second side walls together and defines a plurality of vertically stacked openings for receiving drawers therein, comprising the improvement wherein said back wall is defined by opposite first and second vertical side edges and opposite top and bottom edges which extend between said first and second side edges to define the periphery of said back wall, each of said first and second side edges including a plurality of vertically spaced apart clips which project outwardly away from said side edges and vertically to define an L-shape;each of said first and second side walls being formed substantially identical to each other and having interior surfaces disposed in opposing relation, each of said interior surfaces of said side walls including a plurality of vertically spaced apertures which are disposed along a rear edge of said side walls so as to receive said clips of said back wall therein, each of said rear side wall edges being removably engaged with a respective one of said side edges of said back wall in response to sideward and vertical shifting of said back wall relative to said respective rear side wall edge, each of said clips being adapted to be inserted sidewardly into a corresponding one of said apertures and slid vertically into engagement with said respective side wall to join said first and second opposite side edges of said back wall with said first and second side walls respectively, each of said side walls further including a rearward opening channel on a front edge thereof; andsaid support frame including a pair of laterally spaced apart vertical rails and a plurality of vertically spaced horizontal cross members which are joined at the opposite ends thereof to the vertical rails to define a ladder-like support frame which defines said openings for receiving drawers therein, the front edges of said vertical rails adapted to be received in said channels of said side walls to rigidly join said front edges of said side walls together.
