Security enclosure

A multi-sided security enclosure comprising

• several wall units adapted to be connected to one another in series to form a closed space, each wall unit including a female-edge connector including spaced-apart upper and lower rings, each of the upper and lower rings being formed to include a post-receiving channel, a male-edge connector arranged to lie in spaced-apart relation to the female-edge connector and including spaced-apart upper and lower ring mounts, each upper ring mount being associated with the upper ring in the female-edge connector of a neighboring wall unit, each lower ring mount being associated with the lower ring in the female-edge connector of the neighboring wall unit, and a panel arranged to extend between companion male- and female-edge connectors in a single wall unit and adapted to contact ground underlying the panel when a multi-sided security enclosure comprising the several wall units is erected,
• wherein an upper pivot post included in the upper ring mount of a first of the several wall units is arranged to extend into a post-receiving channel formed in the upper ring of a neighboring second of the several wall units to establish a pivot joint between the first and second of the several wall units so that the second of the several wall units is free to rotate about a vertical pivot axis relative to the first of the several wall units to vary the included angle therebetween at the option of a caregiver during assembly of the multi-sided security enclosure,
• wherein the upper pivot post included in the upper ring mount of the first of the several wall units includes a movable first ring retainer extending upwardly through the post-receiving channel formed in the upper ring of the neighboring second of the several wall units to a point above the upper ring surrounding the upper pivot post, and
• wherein the first of the wall units further includes a locking cap configured to provide means for rotating on an exposed free tip of the upper pivot post arranged to lie above the upper ring surrounding the upper pivot post at the option of an operator in one of a first ring-locking direction to assume a locked position arranged to block inward movement of the movable first ring retainer from an upright position blocking withdrawal of the upper pivot post from the post-receiving channel formed in the upper ring toward the vertical pivot axis to a deformed position allowing withdrawal of the upper pivot post from the post-receiving channel formed in the upper ring to facilitate separation of the first and second of the several wall units during disassembly of the multi-sided security enclosure and an opposite second ring-unlocking direction to assume an unlocked position freeing the movable first ring retainer to move from the upright position toward the vertical pivot axis to the deformed position during separating movement of the first of the several wall units relative to the second of the wall units to facilitate separation of the upper ring mount from the upper pivot post leading to separation of the first of the several wall units from the second of the several wall units.
