| 20110169384 | FOOD SHIELD - A food shield includes a panel mounting mechanism that enables extensive adjustability of the food shield. When the mounting mechanism is clamped to a post, a panel coupled to the mounting mechanism can be adjusted angularly about an axis transverse to a longitudinal axis of the post, and the panel can also be translated in a direction transverse to the axis of rotation. The mounting mechanism may include a clamp that includes a main portion and a swing portion that can swing away from the main portion to enable the clamp to be coupled to a post from a side of the post. Detent mechanisms may be provided for the angular adjustment and the translational adjustment. The mounting mechanism may also include a locking mechanism that when engaged fixes the panel in a certain angular position. | 07-14-2011 |
