Abstract
Abstract A portable room enclosure which incorporates within its walls acoustically lined ventilation pathways. By utilizing wall panels having self-contained ventilation pathways exposed to soundabsorbent material sandwiched within the panels ventilation of the room enclosure is achieved while avoiding the transmission of outside noise to the enclosed environment.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
239 words
A portable enclosure comprising: a. a floor member and a roof member each in the shape of similar polygons wherein said roof member contains an opening; b. air-circulating means affixed atop said roof at said opening; c. a baffle detachably affixed to the interior of said roof suspended a distance beneath the opening in said roof, said baffle comprising: 1. two sheets of perforated material; 2. support members affixed to said sheets of material so as to place said sheets of material in a spaced parallel relationship to each other; 3. acoustical absorbent material placed between said sheets of material; d. channel manes affixed to said floor; e. a plurality of variously sized wall panels affixed to said channel means at said floor and to said roof thus defining an enclosed area wherein: 1. at least one of said wall panels contains a first, a second and a third hollow area wherein a first common wall member appears between said first and second hollow areas and a second common wall member appears between said second and third hollow areas; 2. acoustical absorbent material is contained within said first and third hollow areas; 3. said second common wall member is perforated; 4. means are provided for coupling said second hollow area to the interior and exterior of said enclosure; and f. an access means is contained within at least one of said wall panels for providing access to said enclosure.
