Abstract
An anti-microbial partition divider assembly for a cart such as a golf cart is provided. The cart has a passenger seating area, including at least one seat, a roof and a floor. The assembly includes a flexible or beam-rigid partition divider having a substrate layer made of a material which prevents airborne liquid droplets from traveling therethrough.
Claims20
An anti-microbial partition divider, comprising:
- a microperforated substrate layer having a first plurality of holes extending therethrough and a different second plurality of holes extending therethrough, the substrate layer being made of a material which prevents airborne liquid droplets from travelling;
- a first microperforated outer layer having holes extending therethrough;
- a second microperforated outer layer having holes extending therethrough;
- and
- wherein the substrate layer is sandwiched between the first and second outer layers and the holes of the first outer layer are offset from the holes of the second outer layer with the holes of the first outer layer being aligned with the first plurality of holes of the substrate layer defining first aligned holes for a sound source from a first direction and having portions of the second outer layer overlying the first aligned holes and the holes of the second outer layer being aligned with the second plurality of holes of the substrate layer defining second aligned holes for a sound source from a second direction and having portions of the first outer layer overlying the second aligned holes such that the portions of the first and second outer layer overlying respective aligned holes vibrate upon receiving sound waves from respective sound sources to permit sound to bi-directionally travel therethrough.

- and
- a fastening means for attachment of the partition divider to the roof, wherein in use the partition divider assembly extends from the roof toward the floor partitioning the passenger seating area.
