Enclosure panel isolation system

Abstract

An enclosure panel isolation system which provides an enclosure configured from a plurality of enclosure panels each capable of receiving a removably securable isolation panel.

1 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure, comprising:
 a) a panel frame member receiver which releasably engages a panel frame member of said enclosure panel of said enclosure; and   b) a barrier panel coupled in fixed relation to said panel frame member receiver to dispose a first side of said barrier panel and a first side of said enclosure panel in opposed relation upon said panel frame member receiver releasably engaging said panel frame member.   
   
   
       2 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 1 , wherein said barrier panel has an imperforate barrier material and wherein said enclosure panel has a perforated panel material. 
   
   
       3 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 2 , wherein said first side of said imperforate barrier material locates at a distance sufficiently close to said perforated panel material to interrupt travel of a waste material which passes through said perforated panel material. 
   
   
       4 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 3 , wherein said barrier panel comprises a first barrier panel coupled in fixed relation to said panel frame member receiver. 
   
   
       5 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 4 , further comprising a second barrier panel coupled in fixed relation to said panel frame member receiver to dispose a first side of said second barrier panel and a second side of said enclosure panel in opposed relation upon said panel frame member receiver releasably engaging said panel frame member. 
   
   
       6 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 5 , wherein said second barrier panel has an imperforate barrier material and wherein said enclosure panel has a perforated panel material. 
   
   
       7 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 6 , wherein said first side of said imperforate barrier material of said second barrier panel locates at a distance sufficiently close to said second side of said perforated panel material to interrupt travel of waste material through said perforated panel material of said enclosure panel. 
   
   
       8 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 7 , wherein said first side of said first barrier panel and said first side of said second barrier panel each provide a substantially planar surface. 
   
   
       9 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 8 , wherein said panel frame member has a plurality of configurations and wherein said panel frame member receiver provides a corresponding plurality of configurations which releasably engage each of said plurality of configurations of said panel frame member, and wherein said first barrier panel couples in fixed relation to each of said plurality of configurations of said panel frame member receiver to dispose a first side of said barrier panel and a first side of said enclosure panel in opposed relation upon said panel frame member receiver releasably engaging said panel frame member. 
   
   
       10 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 9 , wherein said first barrier panel has a plurality of configurations each of which couple in fixed relation to each of said plurality of configurations of said panel frame member receiver to dispose a first side of said barrier panel and a first side of said enclosure panel in opposed relation upon said panel frame member receiver releasably engaging said panel frame member. 
   
   
       11 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 10 , wherein said second barrier panel has a plurality of configurations each of which couple in fixed relation to each of said plurality of configurations of said panel frame member receiver to dispose a first side of said barrier panel and a first side of said enclosure panel in opposed relation upon said panel frame member receiver releasably engaging said panel frame member. 
   
   
       12 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 11 , wherein said panel frame member receiver which releasably engages a panel frame member of said enclosure panel of said enclosure provides a first planar element and a second planar element each joined to a cross member in substantially parallel opposed relation a distance apart to provide a channel element which receives said panel frame member of said enclosure panel of said enclosure. 
   
   
       13 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 12 , wherein said panel frame receiver has fixed engagement with said panel frame member of said enclosure panel of said enclosure. 
   
   
       14 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 13 , further comprising a bond between said panel frame member receiver and a support surface. 
   
   
       15 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 14 , wherein said bond comprises an adhesive layer between said panel frame member and said support surface. 
   
   
       16 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 15 , further comprising an enclosure having a plurality of said enclosure panels at least one of said plurality of said enclosure panels engaged to said isolation panel. 
   
   
       17 . An isolation panel for an enclosure panel of an enclosure as described in  claim 15 , wherein said enclosure comprises an animal enclosure.
