Abstract
A vehicle partition assembly for installing in a vehicle. The assembly includes a partition configured to connect to an interior of the vehicle, the partition having an opening defined therein, and a door selectively moveable between at least an open position and a closed position. The door includes a door body slidably connected to the partition, and a door panel selectively moveable relative to the door body between at least an extended position and a retracted position. With the door in the closed position, the door panel is in extended position, and the door selectively closes the opening. With the door in the open position, the door panel is in the collapsed position, and the opening is uncovered to allow passage of a user therethrough.
