Adjustable sneezeguard apparatus

Sneezeguard apparatus comprising, in combination:

• mounting means for mounting said sneezeguard apparatus on a support;
• an elongated support member having two spaced ends;
• adjustable connector means disposed at one of the ends of said elongated support member adjustably connecting said elongated support member to said mounting means and allowing pivotal movement of said elongated support member relative to said mounting means whereby said elongated support member may be selectively alternatively positioned in a plurality of angular orientations relative to a support;
• a sneezeguard panel holder connected to said elongated support member at the other of said ends of said elongated support member for holding a sneezeguard panel;
• a connector adjustably, pivotally connecting said sneezeguard panel holder to said elongated support member and allowing pivotal movement of said sneezeguard panel holder relative to said elongated support member, said sneezeguard panel holder being selectively alternatively positionable in a plurality of angular positions relative to said elongated support member, said adjustable connector means selectively alternatively retaining said elongated support member against movement relative to said mounting means in each of said plurality of angular orientations, and said connector selectively alternatively retaining said sneezeguard panel holder against movement relative to said elongated support member in each of said plurality of angular positions, said elongated support member including an inner shaft threaded at least partially along the length thereof and a double-ended outer tubular member surrounding said inner shaft, said inner shaft being threadedly engaged with at least one of said adjustable connector means and said connector whereby relative rotation between said adjustable connector means and said connector on said inner shaft will vary the distance between said adjustable connector means and said connector, said outer tubular member being in abutting frictional engagement with and surrounding portions of said adjustable connector means and said connector at opposed ends of said outer tubular member when the distance between said adjustable connector means and said connector is at a predetermined value and said outer tubular member being disengageable from said adjustable connector means and said connector when said distance exceeds said predetermined value.
