A modular panel for forming part of an enclosure for an appliance of the type which is manufacturable in a plurality of sizes requiring one or more modular panels. The panel includes a main planar section having first and second substantially parallel edges. First and second flanges are integrally formed with the main section and extend rearwardly from the first and second edges, respectively. The first and second flanges are parallel to one another and each has an inner and outer facing surface. The outer facing surface of the first flange is provided with integrally formed hinge elements which together define a first axis. The outer surface of the second flange is provided with integrally formed mating hinge elements spaced from one another the same distance as the first hinge elements and together defining a second axis parallel to the first axis. The second hinge elements are configured to engage the first hinge elements of a second modular panel in a manner which causes the first and second axes to become coincident and allows pivotal movement of the two panels with respect to one another about the coincident axes until the outer surfaces of the flanges are in confronting relation with one another. Interacting means are provided for interconnecting the confronting outer surfaces with one another. |
