Abstract
A portable work center includes a molded base panel having a plurality of clamping members, at least one wheel assembly support and at least one support leg in spaced relation to the wheel assembly support. A molded top panel is in spaced, parallel relation to the base panel, and has a plurality of clamping members, each corresponding to a clamping member on the base panel. A pair of opposingly oriented side panels extend between and connect the top and base panels to one another. A rear panel is positioned adjacent and between the side panels and extends between the top and base panels. A pair of pivotal front door panels is disposed in opposing relation to the rear panel and extends substantially between the top and base panels and the side panels. Together, the side panels, rear panel, top panel, base panel and door panels define an internal storage region and four corners. Corner support posts are positioned at each of the corners and extend between the base panel and the top panel. The posts traverse through and join the respective side panels with the rear panel and join the respective side panels with the front door panels. The posts positioned at the front corners are pintles defining axes for pivoting the front door panels relative to the side panels. Clamping member secure the posts to the top and base panels, and a wheel assembly is operable connected to the base at the wheel assembly support.
