Abstract

A readily disassemblable cabinet (15) for a liquid dispensing system (10) includes a supporting frame assembly (25) having a base plate (26) and a shelf (28), and further includes readily removable front (22), rear (27), and side panels (20) and a separately removable top support (50) and top panel (23). Readily removable metal rods (20) are provided to secure individual base, shelf and top support components to the frame assembly. Such rods permit the quick removal of the system components and thus facilitate routine maintenance of the liquid dispensing system while minimizing the number of tools required to service the unit.
