Abstract

A modular elevator cab construction is provided for assembly onto a platform of an elevator cage substantially from within the area of the cab. A rear wall panel, two side wall panels and front wall structures are assembled by simple complementary interengaging hanger devices on the backside of the adjacent walls for assembling the walls in proper right-angular juxtaposition. Anchoring mechanisms are provided between the platform and the lower edges of the wall panels. A drop ceiling support framework is hung from the top edges of the surrounding, assembled walls without the use of extraneous fastening means. A unitary canopy structure surmounts the walls and has a skirt embracing the upper portions of the walls.
