  • Patent number: 6128875
    Abstract: A room arrangement for dividing and providing privacy between adjacent living areas in a hotel room, apartment or other similar facility. The room arrangement includes a first room or hallway and an adjoining second room, such as a dressing room with an attached closet or storage area. A bi-directional door is positioned between the first room and the second room. The bi-directional door is selectively positionable between a first position for providing a partition between the second room and the storage area and a second position providing a partition between the first room and the second room. A "two way" catch mechanism maintains the bidirectional door in one of the first and the second positions. In the preferred embodiment, a third room, such as a bathroom, adjoins the second room wherein when the bi-directional door is positioned in the second position, the third room and the second room and the storage area are separated from the first room.
