DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Turning now to the drawings and particularly to FIG.
1, there is illustrated a perspective view of the unit in accordance with the present invention set up for use.
The apparatus, as illustrated, comprises a box-like substantially rigid body structure comprising essentially a rather deep narrow box having a small rectangular cross section and defined by a front panel or section 10, a back panel or section 12 and side panels 14 and 16 and further having a bottom 18 and a top 20.
The front panel 10 is hinged by a plurality of hinges 22 to the bottom panel 18.
The front panel 10 hinges downward, as shown in FIG.
1, from the remainder of the box portion and defines a floor of the apparatus.
The back section or panel 12 and the side panels 14 and 16 extend vertically as shown to define a back wall and portions of a side wall respectively.
This provides the basic frame work or support structure of the apparatus.
The top panel 20 is suitably connected by a plurality of hinges 24 to the back panel 12 and hinges backward as shown to provide access to the interior of the box and neck opening in the covering as will be explained later.
The box-like structure when in the closed position, as partially shown in FIG.
5, is held in that position by suitable latch means such as a plurality of luggage type latches 26 engaging a plurality of latch lugs 28 on the front panel 10.
Suitable retractable support feet or the like 30 are provided for supporting the back wall section at a level in conformance with the location of the floor defined by panel 10.
This is best illustrated for example, in FIGS.
1 and 2.
A flexible cover made of any suitable flexible material, such as plastic or fabric, generally designated by the numeral 32, covers the opening between the two box-like sections.
When in the open position, as best shown in FIGS.
1 and 2, the covered area defines a substantially triangular shaped bathing chamber or compartment designated generally by the numeral 34
