Abstract: A temporary cubicle device can be either fully or partly free-standing or have a part thereof attached to a vehicle. In its free-standing state it is foldable from a stowed state to an erected state by manipulating a foldable support frame which has a pair of support arms pivotally connected to a pair of main link arms which are pivotally connected at their adjacent ends respectively to part of the support frame. The material of the cubicle device is attached to the support arms, whilst in the erected state of the cubicle device a strut formed by links maintains the main link arms unfolded and thus the support arms spaced apart and parallel.
