Privacy enclosure

A privacy enclosure comprising:

• a floor plate having a top surface that forms a floor of an interior cavity of an enclosure, a bottom surface opposite the top surface, and an outer surface extending between the top and bottom surfaces, the top surfacecomprising a peripheral portion adjacent to the outer surface, a first channel formed into the top surface of the floor plate along the peripheral portion of the top surface;
• a ceiling assembly comprising a ceiling plate having a bottom surface that forms a ceiling of the interior cavity of the enclosure, a top surface opposite the bottom surface, and an outer surface extending between the top andbottom surfaces, the bottom surface comprising a peripheral portion adjacent to the outer surface, a second channel formed into the bottom surface of the ceiling plate along the peripheral portion of the bottom surface;
• a sidewall extending from a bottom end to a top end along a longitudinal axis, a bottom portion of the sidewall that comprises the bottom end disposed within the first channel of the floor plate and a top portion of the sidewall that comprises the top end disposed within the second channel of the ceiling plate so that the floor plate, the ceiling plate, and the sidewall collectively define a boundary of the interior cavity of the enclosure, the sidewall comprising a first end and a second end that are elongated in a direction of the longitudinal axis and are spaced apart from one another to define an opening into the interior cavity of the enclosure;
• a door alterable between an open state wherein the door does not close the opening and a closed state wherein the door closes the opening;
• wherein the bottom surface of the floor plate comprises a peripheral portion adjacent to the outer surface of the floor plate, a third channel formed into the bottom surface of the floor plate along the peripheral portion of the bottom surface of the floor plate, and wherein the door comprises a bracket member that slides within the third channel as the door is altered between the open and closed states.

A privacy enclosure comprising:

• a ceiling assembly comprising a ceiling plate having a bottom surface that forms a ceiling of the interior cavity of the enclosure, a top surface opposite the bottom surface, and an outer surface extending between the top and bottom surfaces, the bottom surface comprising a peripheral portion adjacent to the outer surface, a second channel formed into the bottom surface of the ceiling plate along the peripheral portion of the bottom surface;
• a sidewall extending from a bottom end to a top end along a longitudinal axis, a bottom portion of the sidewall that comprises the bottom end disposed within the first channel of the floor plate and a top portion of the sidewall that comprises the top end disposed within the second channel of the ceiling plate so that the floor plate, the ceiling plate, and the sidewall collectively define a boundary of the interior cavity of the enclosure, the sidewall comprising a first end and a second end that are elongated in a direction of the longitudinal axis and are spaced apart from one another to define an opening into the interior cavity of the enclosure;
• a door alterable between an open state wherein the door does not close the opening and a closed state wherein the door closes the opening;
• wherein the ceiling assembly comprises:
• a track and the door comprises a follower member that slides along the track as the door is altered between the open and closed states
• a ring-shaped track member positioned atop of the top surface of the ceiling plate, the ring-shaped track member comprising an outer surface, wherein an annular channel is formed into the outer surface of the ring-shaped track member, the track being located within the annular channel;
• and
• a roof plate disposed within a through-hole of the ring-shaped track member and resting atop of the top surface of the ceiling plate, wherein the ring-shaped track member surrounds the roof plate, and wherein the ceiling plate and the roof plate are coupled together with one or more fasteners.

A privacy enclosure comprising:

• a floor plate having a top surface that forms a floor of an interior cavity of an enclosure, a bottom surface opposite the top surface, and an outer surface extending between the top and bottom surfaces, the top surface comprising a peripheral portion adjacent to the outer surface, a first channel formed into the top surface of the floor plate along the peripheral portion of the top surface;
• a ceiling assembly comprising a ceiling plate having a bottom surface that forms a ceiling of the interior cavity of the enclosure, a top surface opposite the bottom surface, and an outer surface extending between the top and bottom surfaces, the bottom surface comprising a peripheral portion adjacent to the outer surface, a second channel formed into the bottom surface of the ceiling plate along the peripheral portion of the bottom surface;
• a sidewall extending from a bottom end to a top end along a longitudinal axis, a bottom portion of the sidewall that comprises the bottom end disposed within the first channel of the floor plate and a top portion of the sidewall that comprises the top end disposed within the second channel of the ceiling plate so that the floor plate, the ceiling plate, and the sidewall collectively define a boundary of the interior cavity of the enclosure, the sidewall comprising a first end and a second end that are elongated in a direction of the longitudinal axis and are spaced apart from one another to define an opening into the interior cavity of the enclosure;
• a door alterable between an open state wherein the door does not close the opening and a closed state wherein the door closes the opening;
• wherein the sidewall comprises a laminate structure comprising an inner layer that forms an inner surface of the sidewall, an outer layer, and a central layer disposed between the inner and outer layers, wherein the inner and outer layers are formed from wool felt and the central layer is formed from a rigid material;
• and
• wherein the bottom and top portions of the sidewall that are disposed within the first and second channels, respectively, are formed solely by the central layer of the sidewall such that the inner and outer layers of the sidewall are affixed to the central layer and do not extend into the first and second channels.

A privacy enclosure comprising:

• a floor plate having a top surface that forms a floor of an interior cavity of an enclosure, a bottom surface opposite the top surface, and an outer surface extending between the top and bottom surfaces, the bottom surface comprising a peripheral portion adjacent to the outer surface, a first channel formed into the bottom surface of the floor plate along the peripheral portion of the bottom surface of the floor plate;
• a ceiling assembly comprising a ceiling plate that forms a ceiling of the interior cavity and a ring-shaped track member positioned atop of the ceiling plate, the ring-shaped track member comprising an outer surface, a channel formed into the outer surface of the ring-shaped track, and a track located within the channel;
• a sidewall coupled to the floor plate and to the ceiling plate, an opening in the sidewall forming a passageway into the interior cavity of the enclosure;
• and
• a door comprising a follower member positioned within the channel of the ring-shaped track member in engagement with the track and a bracket member positioned within the first channel in the peripheral portion of the bottom surface of the floor plate, and wherein the door is alterable between an open state wherein the passageway is exposed and a closed state wherein the door closes the passageway, and wherein altering the door between the open and closed states causes the follower member to slide along the track and the bracket member to slide within the first channel.
