ABSTRACT:
A collapsible enclosure for lavatories or the like having a front panel frame, a pair of substatially identical side panels and a bottom panel, which in assembled position form a partially enclosed rectangular housing. A stiffening brace disposed normally between the side panels at their rear top edges forms the fourth edge of a rectangular support for a removable flat top panel having a vertically disposed flange across the back edge and a round opening to accommodate the lavatory. The bottom panel folds up against the front frame. The two side panels rotate horizontally on composite hinges, one side of a clockwise direction and the other side in a counterclockwise direction, to assume adjacent positions parallel to the folded bottom panel. The two front corner hinge composites are designed so that one includes a substantially wider center leaf than the other. The rear stiffening brace, which is supported on a pivot on a third hinge composite, rotates in both a vertical and horizontal plane, to assume a position coplanar with one of the sides when the latter is folded into place. The removed top panel is disposed with its flange adjacent one edge of the folded assemblage, the flat horizontal section and circular opening being positioned adjacent the door panels for protecting the front surface and decorative hardware during storage and/or shipment.
