Abstract

A health booth includes a telescopic and pivotal board including two telescopic units having one ends pivotably attached to a board; a seat assembly including two parallel columns mounted on the other side wall, a horizontal bar slidably put on the columns, a telescopic support post mounted between the horizontal bar and a bottom, and a collapsible seat secured to the horizontal bar, and a pivot assembly including a channel mounted onto one side wall, two torsion springs in the channel, two outer cylindrical members each together with one inner cylindrical member to dispose the other ends of the telescopic units therein, and two groups of a plurality of fasteners wherein each group of the fasteners are driven through the outer cylindrical member into the inner cylindrical member to fasten the other ends of the telescopic units.

Claims

1. A health enclosure comprising:

a door (1);

a rectangular top (3);

a rectangular bottom (2) having a positioning hole (21);

a rectangular rear wall (6);

a rectangular first side wall (4);

a rectangular second side wall (5) opposite the first side wall (4);

a telescopic and pivotal board (7) comprising a board (75) and two parallel telescopic units (73) each having one end pivotably attached to the board (75);

a seat assembly (8) comprising two parallel columns (87) mounted on the second side wall (5), a horizontal bar (88) having both ends slidably put on the columns (87), a telescopic support post (83) having an upper end secured to the horizontal bar (88) and a lower end fastened in the positioning hole (21), and a collapsible seat (81) secured to the horizontal bar (88), and

a pivot assembly (9) comprising a channel (91) of substantially C-section mounted onto the first side wall (4), the channel (91) having a side opening (911), two inner cylindrical members (94) each having an aperture (941), two aligned biasing members (92) in the channel (91) wherein one biasing member (92) has one end anchored in the side opening (911) and the other end anchored in the aperture (941), and the other biasing member (92) has one end anchored in the aperture (941) and the other end anchored in the side opening (911), a bolt (93) inserted through the biasing members (92) and having both ends fastened in the inner cylindrical members (94) respectively, two outer cylindrical members (96) each together with one of the inner cylindrical members (94) to dispose the other ends of the telescopic units (73) therein, and two groups of a plurality of fasteners (95) wherein each group of the fasteners (95) are driven through the outer cylindrical member (96) into the inner cylindrical member (94) to fasten the other ends of the telescopic units (73) so that a pivotal movement of the telescopic units (73) twists the ends of the torsion springs (92) anchored in the apertures (941) via the inner cylindrical members (94).

2. The health enclosure of claim 1, wherein the seat (81) comprises two spaced brackets (85) threadedly secured to an underside, each bracket (85) having two opposite, elongated, slanted slots (851), two sets of two lugs (86) each having a through hole (861), and two lock pins (84) each mounted through the through hole (861) of one lug (86) of either set, the slots (851), and the through hole (861) of the other lug (86) of the same set.

3. The health enclosure of claim 1, wherein each of the telescopic units (73) comprises a support tube (723) secured to the outer and inner cylindrical members (96, 94), a sliding tube (724) slidably disposed in the support tube (723) and having one end pivotably attached to the board (75), and at least one joint (72) each including a sleeve (721) having internal threads (7211) and a plastic sleeving fastener (722) with the sliding tube (724) passing through, the sleeving fastener (722) having external threads (7221) on a tapered circumferential surface, the external threads (7221) are operable to secure to the internal threads (7211) so as to fasten the sleeve (721), the sleeving fastener (722), and the sliding tube (724) together.
