ABSTRACT:
Foldable, ready to use office furniture suite components are disclosed which include a foldable, ready to use office hutch which may be supported on a base. The hutch has an erect configuration for use as a furniture component and a folded configuration for storage. The hutch includes a back panel included in the hutch, a first side panel pivotally attached to the back panel and a second side panel pivotally attached to the back panel. A horizontal panel is pivotally carried by the back panel and a vertical case panel is pivotally carried by one of the back panel for forming a utility case with one of the first and second side panels. Cabinet panels for forming a utility cabinet within the interior of the hutch include a vertical cabinet panel pivotally carried by one of the back panel and the horizontal panel, and a horizontal cabinet panel pivotally carried by the vertical cabinet panel. At least a first displaced pivot hinge attaches the first panel to the back panel having a pivot displaced a distance from the back panel; at least one second side panel displaced pivot hinge pivotally attaches the second side panel to the back panel having a pivot displaced from the back panel. The hutch has a folded configuration in which the first and second side panels are folded inwardly about the displaced pivots to overlie a portion of at least the horizontal panel and accommodate the horizontal panel, the vertical case panel, and the vertical and horizontal cabinet panels in the folded hutch configuration.
