A collapsible shower cubicle

Abstract

A collapsible shower cubicle (1) comprises a ceiling unit (23), a base unit (24), and a linking mechanism (40). The ceiling unit (23) is rotatable about an upper axis (9) between a raised extended position and a lowered retracted position, the ceiling unit (23) substantially extending horizontally from the upper axis (9) when the ceiling unit (23) is in its extended position. The base unit (37) is rotatable about a lower axis (10) between a lowered extended position and a raised retracted position, the base unit (37) substantially extending horizontally from the lower axis (10) when the base unit (37) is in its extended position. The linking mechanism connects the ceiling unit to the base unit. The linking mechanism (40) is configured to coordinate simultaneous rotation of the ceiling unit (23) and the base unit (37) between their retracted and extended positions and is configured such that the raising of the weight of the base unit (37) is counterbalanced by the lowering of the weight of the ceiling unit (23), and the lowering of the weight of the base unit (37) is counterbalanced by the raising of the weight of the ceiling unit (23).
