Abstract

A sneeze guard, which may include a first and second layer, said layers disposed together and including an integrally formed light rail. The light rail formed to replace, in part, of one layer of the sneeze guard. The light rail may include lamps or LEDs and is disposed for splaying light into a portion of the sneeze guard. In some embodiments a portion of a sneeze guard layer operates to protect the light rail components.

Claims

1. A device including:

a housing, said housing including a light source;

a guard, said guard comprising a substantially planar surface with at least one edge,

wherein said housing is disposed along the edge and operates to direct light through a portion of the guard.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein the guard is substantially clear.

3. The device of claim 1 wherein the housing includes a portion substantially the same thickness as the guard.

4. A device comprising:

a sneeze guard, said sneeze guard including at least a first and second layer, said second layer abutting the first layer;

a light rail, said light rail having a edge substantially the same thickness as the sneeze guard and an edge substantially the same width as the first layer;

wherein said light rail is disposed along an edge of the sneeze guard.

5. The device of claim 4 wherein the light rail includes at east one LED light source.

6. The device of claim 4 wherein the sneeze guard comprises a substantially flat portion, said flat portion comprised of substantially clear material.

7. A sneeze guard comprising:

a first substantially planar surface;

a light rail, said light rail disposed over a portion of the surface,

wherein light from the light rail is splayed through a portion of the surface.

8. The sneeze guard of claim 7 wherein the light rail includes one or more light emitting diode.

9. The sneeze guard of claim 7 wherein the light rail is disposed along an edge of the sneeze guard.
