Abstract

A shield for a cubicle including an at least partially opaque covering suspended over the cubicle such that the environmental parameters are attenuated, and a frame for supporting the at least partially opaque covering, thereby providing protection for the cubicle user against environmental parameters. Alternatively, a frameless shield may be provided.

Claims

1. A cubicle shield for protecting a cubicle inhabitant from environmental parameters when placed upon a cubicle having at least two perpendicular walls each having a top edge, comprising:

a shield frame having two bottom edges and an at least partially opaque covering projecting over the cubicle such that the environmental parameters are attenuated, and

wherein the two bottom edges of the shield frame for supporting the at least partially opaque covering are at least partially supported by the top edges of the perpendicular cubicle walls when placed upon the cubicle, thereby providing protection for the cubicle inhabitant against environmental parameters, and

wherein the shield frame consists of two or more support members configured to form an open-sided tetrahedron when opened and installed onto a cubical.
