Cubicle

A cubicle construction comprising:

• plural spaced apart planar panels means comprising an upright rear planar panel means for supporting edges of normally disposed upright panel means;
• and
• at least one side panel for defining a side of the cubicle, the side panel coupled to the upright rear planar panel means;
• vertical post means for engaging the plural spaced apart planar panels means, the vertical post means defining an upper portion and a lower portion;
• elongated headrail means for structurally engaging the post means, the elongated headrail means coupled at the upper portion of the post means, extending normal to the plane of the side panel;
• a door pivotally mounted about an axis adjacent, parallel and spaced apart from the vertical post means, the door comprising an upper pivot for pivotally coupling the door to the cubicle at an upper portion of the door, and downwardly extending pivot means for pivotally coupling the door at the lower portion of the door;
• and
• foot means for pivotally supporting the door, the foot means having an adjustable length;
• the foot means comprising
• a cap means for receiving the upper pivot of the door in pivotal relationship;
• base means for affixing the foot means to a floor;
• fastener means comprising a threaded member adjustably coupling the cap means to the base means;
• and
• a nut threadably mounted on the threaded member;
• the base means defining an upper surface for engaging the fastener means in fixed relationship, the nut having a an aperture disposed transverse to the axis of the threaded means, and a set screw disposed within the transverse aperture and engagable with the threaded member to destructively engage the threads of the threaded member and thereby prevent travel of the threaded member means with respect to the foot means;
• and
• gravity hinge means for establishing a nominally open position of the door in relationship to the plane defined by the post means, the gravity hinge means coupled intermediate the foot means, the gravity hinge means comprises an upper means for engaging the door means and lower means for engaging the foot means,
• the upper and lower means having an alignable aperture extending through both the upper means and the lower means for receiving the downwardly extending pivot means from the door, the downwardly extending pivot means having a an upwardly extending annular portion having an generally oblique truncated surface disposed about the alignable aperture, and the upper means having a downwardly extending annular portion having an generally oblique truncated surface disposed about the alignable aperture matable with the oblique surface of the lower means when the door means rests in a mated position, whereby the nominally closed position of the door is established by the position of the door means when the gravity hinge is in a mated position.

An adjustable door support arrangement for a cubicle of the type comprising a planar upright door and a pivot extending downwardly from the door, the support arrangement comprising:

• base element including means for coupling the base element to a floor, the base element including an internal thread disposed upright in the base element;
• a cap portion having a centrally disposed internal thread disposed upright, an upper portion disposed above the internal thread and a door pivot receiving bore positioned in the upper portion of the cap portion for receiving the pivot of the upright door;
• a threaded member coupled to the internal thread of the base element and the cap portion, the cap and base element rotatable about the threaded member to adjust the height of the support;
• an engagement surface for engaging a fastener, disposed on the support arrangement;
• a fastener disposed on the threaded member and moveable to engage the engagement surface and fix the adjustment height of the support;
• and
• a transversely disposed set screw means for engaging the threaded member and preventing travel of the fastener, the set screw means disposed within the fastener.
