Patent ID: 8726578

Claim:
A lavatory partition system comprising: a first pilaster comprising a first major surface, a second major surface opposite the first major surface, and a first lateral surface extending between the first and second major surfaces, the first lateral surface comprising a recess, the recess being generally symmetric about a centerline between the first and second major surfaces of the first pilaster; a second pilaster; a door coupled to the first pilaster and rotatable between a closed position and an open position, the door comprising: a first substantially planar major surface; a second substantially planar major surface opposite the first major surface; and a first lateral convex surface extending from an edge of the first substantially planar major surface and to an edge of the second substantially planar major surface, the first lateral convex surface defining a projection; a second lateral surface extending between the first and second major surfaces such that when the door is in the closed position the second lateral surface is adjacent to the second pilaster, and when the door is in the open position the second lateral surface is spaced apart from the second pilaster; wherein at least a portion of the projection on the door extends into the recess on the first pilaster to define a seam and prevents a line of sight from being established through the seam when the door is in the closed position; wherein the projection on the door rotates within the recess as the door rotates between opened and closed positions.
