Abstract

A shielding assembly includes at least first and second elongate members and a shield movably mountable adjacent the shielding assembly. Each of the members are joinable together at a common point. The shield is movable in three dimensions relative to the shielding assembly so as to shield a user of the shielding assembly.

Claims

1. A shielding assembly comprising:

at least first and second elongate members, each of said members joinable together at a common point;

a shield, movably mountable adjacent said shielding assembly and movable in three dimensions relative to said shielding assembly so as to shield a user of said shielding assembly, and

at least a third elongate member that forms a frame with the first and second elongate members, said shield being movably mounted relative to the first, second, and third elongate members adjacent said frame;

wherein said shield is mounted for longitudinal and transverse movement relative to each of the first, second, and third elongate members.

2. The shielding assembly according to claim 1, wherein said shield is mounted within said frame.

3. The shielding assembly according to claim 1, wherein said shield is lockable relative to at least one said elongate member.

4. The shielding assembly according to claim 1, wherein said shield is moveably mountable adjacent said assembly at a region lower than said common point.
