Abstract
Abstract An ablution compartment includes a base tray and a plurality of booth elements supported on the base tray. The booth elements comprise a plurality of first wall elements and a plurality of second wall elements. Each first wall element is of an angled configuration having a single, substantially planar wall limb and a single, substantially planar ceiling limb arranged at right angles to the wall limb. Each second wall element has a wall surface and connects two first wall elements to one another. The wall limbs of the first wall elements and the wall surfaces of the second wall elements together form an all-around enclosure above the base tray.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
An ablution compartment as defined in claim 1, wherein said securing means comprises outwardly directed flanges forming part of said booth elements and said base tray; flanges of said base tray and those of adjoining booth elements being in a face-to-face relationship with one another.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
An ablution compartment as defined in claim 1, wherein said base tray has four sides and the number of said first wall elements and said second wall elements is two each.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
An ablution compartment as defined in claim 1, wherein at least one of said second wall elements is a side panel arranged at right angles to each wall limb and to each ceiling limb.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
An ablution compartment as defined in claim 1, wherein at least one of said second wall elements is a box element having a plurality of vertical wall surfaces.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
An ablution compartment as defined in claim 1, further comprising an additional compartment constituting an individual unit added laterally to said base tray; said additional compartment being accessible solely from the space enclosed by said booth elements.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
84 words
An ablution compartment as defined in claim 6, wherein said base tray is a first base tray; further comprising a second base tray with peripheral rim constituted as a bath tub with arm rests, connected with said first base tray, whereby said rim of said bath tub seals against a separating wall at the periphery of said first base tray, and said separating wall is rendered concave by said arm rests, in the direction facing said first base tray, thereby constituting a foot recess.
