Outdoor toilet cabana
| Details |
Inventors: Tagg, Richard L.;
Assignee: Polyjohn Enterprises Corporation (Gaspar, IN)
Primary Examiner: Phillips; Charles E.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Harness, Dickey & Pierce
An outdoor toilet cabana is formed of pair of side walls whose opposite vertical edges are bent to form angled corner sections having their free edge portions bent into vertical strip-like flanges that extend in approximately the same plane towards the opposite, corresponding flanges of the opposite wall. A rear wall has side edge strip-like portions that are aligned in approximately the same plane as the flanges of the side wall. Extruded strips are formed with oppositely opening channels to receive the adjacent side wall flanges and rear wall edge portions. These channels are deeper than the portions of the flanges and rear wall strips received therein so that they can accommodate variations in wall dimensions while still providing a rigid cabana of pre-determincd size. A doorway is formed between the flanges on the forward side of the side walls. A substantially continuous extruded doorway edge strip extends along the jambs and the header of the doorway. The extruded doorway strip is provided with a channel for receiving the flanges of the side walls and for receiving a depending flange formed on a roof arranged over the walls. In addition, the doorway strip is provided with a second, drain channel positioned on the forward outer surface of the cabana for directing rain water from the header and roof along the side jambs of the doorway. The doorway strip includes a substantially continuous flange extending inwardly of the doorway to provide a stop for a door arranged within the doorway. The channel of the doorway strip which receives the wall and roof flanges is deeper than the normally received portions of those flanges for accommodating variations in dimensions of the side walls and roof. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION As shown in the drawings, the cabana 10 includes a base or pallet 11, opposing side walls 12 and 13, a rear wall 14, a door 15 and a roof 16.
A toilet and waste material holding tank 17 is positioned in the cabana.
Each of these components will be separately described.
The side walls 12 and 13, preferably, are mirror images of each other.
That is, they are made out of a single thermo-formed plastic sheet which is symmetrically formed.
Therefore, they can be reversely arranged to form either a left or right side of the cabana.
The side walls have a large panel face 20 which is substantially flat.
Preferably, rather than forming the face truly planar, it is bowed outwardly a small amount.
Also, the panel is formed with a series of indentations or channel-like depressions 21 which provide a decorative appearance as well as rigidify the panels.
The opposite corners of each side wall are bent into corner sections 22.
These sections may be angled, such as about 45 degrees, to the panel face 20.
The free edges of the corner sections are bent into vertical side edge flanges 23.
These side edge flanges are approximately perpendicular to the plane of the panel face 20 so that the corresponding side edge flanges 23 at the rear of both side panels extend toward each other in substantially the same plane.
Likewise, the side edge flanges at the forward portion of the cabana, that is, where the door and doorway are located, also extend towards each other and are substantially in the same plane.
The lower edges of the side walls 12 and 13 are each provided with a lower edge, horizontally extending flange 24.
The cabana rear wall 14 is provided with opposite side flanges or edge strip portions 25.
Similarly, the upper edge of the rear wall 14 is formed with an upper flange or strip portion 26.
A lower flange or strip portion 27 is formed on the lower edge of the rear wall.
The adjacent rear wall side flanges and side wall edge flanges are connected together by means of a connector strip 30
