Abstract

A desk top safety partition preferably includes a sheet frame, a clear flexible sheet and a pair of legs. The sheet frame includes a pair of vertical poles, a pair of horizontal poles and four pole connectors. Each pole connector includes a side hole and a lengthwise bore. The side hole and the lengthwise bore are sized to receive the poles. Two pole connectors are pushed on to each end of a horizontal pole to form a top support and a bottom support. The clear flexible sheet includes pole loops to receive the vertical poles. Each leg preferably includes a leg pole and three pole connectors. A bottom of the vertical poles are inserted into pole connectors of the pair of legs. A C-shaped safety partition includes three sheet frames, three clear flexible sheets, a plurality of pole connectors and a plurality of routing clamps.

Claims (45)
