ABSTRACT:
A toilet cubicle having a pair of post engaging side panels bracketed to a rear wall and a top headrail engaging the side panels have doors rotatably joined in spaced apart relationship to the posts. Each door is pivotally supported by a foot disposed in spaced relationship to the posts. The feet have a threaded insert supporting base receiving an adjustably threaded member, and a gravity hinge and door pivot supporting cap engaging the opposite end of the threaded member. A nut on the threaded member is movable to engage an upper surface of the base. The nut has a transverse thread for receiving a tapered end set screw to destructively engage the threads of the threaded member and fix the nominally open positioning of the door, and resist travel thereafter. The gravity hinge has a bottom portion engaging the cap and an upwardly extending annular portion truncated at an oblique angle about a bore aperture of the cap, and an upper portion having a downwardly extending obliquely truncated annular portion matable with that of the upwardly extending portion. The feet are adjustable, by rotation of the cap with respect to the base, yet may be rigidly fixed to prevent further travel, and thus prevent the door of the cubicle from loosening and falling from its pivotal couplings.
