Abstract
A modular structure for enclosing a privacy booth, for example, in restrooms. The modules are integrally molded from plastic material such as high impact polystyrene foam. Shells, webs and fins are integrally molded onto the panel structure and extend generally at right angles to the panel structure thereby providing reinforcement. A door jamb and hinge mounting structures are molded into the modules. Recesses are molded in the module for the locks and hinges. The panels have bifurcated rear ends which may be received in wall brackets. In one embodiment of the invention, two sheets of material, each having ribs on one side, are put together with the ribs abutting to provide a partition structure.
