A bracket system that allows a drop shield to be added to a prior art main viewing panel of a food guard. For instance, an existing food guard system can be modified to include a drop shield without having to make a permanent modification, or replacement, in order to close off “reach in” access to food stored beneath the food guard system. The system also reduces or eliminates any gap beneath the main viewing panel of the food guard and the upper edge of the drop shield.

The present system is directed to a modular apparatus that may be assembled and disassembled repeatedly without the use of tools. The modular system includes connectors that may be fixed to the underside of a plank and then engaged with leg portions. The connectors further include channels to accommodate retention members of additional attachments, such as covers, guards, signage, or racks that may be added onto the modular apparatus to increase its utility. The retention members mate with the connectors to connect and securely hold the attachment and can be removed from the connectors all without the need for tools.

A food bar arrangement (100) with product holding elements (103A,103B) holding fresh food products, an openable covering arrangement (110) including at least one covering element (10A, 10B) transferable between a closed and an open position, covering element sensing means (30A, 30B) registering an activation or a movement of the covering element (10A,10B) towards an open position or vice versa, a disinfection arrangement including a plurality of UV-C sources (52) in activated state exposing the food products to UV-C light at a wavelength appropriate for inactivation of pathogens, and a disinfection control system communicating with the covering element sensing means (30A,30B) and an UV-C source activating/deactivating arrangement (40) controlling the disinfection arrangement, and some of the UV-C sources are deactivated when a covering element is opened or moved towards an open position.

Embodiments of the invention include a barrier assembly including a frame to hold a barrier member. A bracket defines a track and the bracket can be attached to a support surface such that a first branch of the bracket resides on a first side of the support surface and a second branch of the bracket resides on a second side of the support surface. An articulating connector couples the frame to track, the articulating connector enables the frame to move in at least two degrees of freedom relative to the track. The frame and connector can move along the track from a first position in which the frame resides above the support surface to a second position in which the frame resides below the support surface.

The present teachings generally relate to a countertop shield and kit therefor, the countertop shield includes: a center panel including at least one long edge; at least one short edge; and at least one first center panel attachment feature, located adjacent to the at least one long edge and at least one second center panel attachment feature located adjacent to the at least one short edge; and at least one side panel including at least one side panel attachment feature; wherein the at least one first or second center panel attachment feature is configured to engage the at least one side panel attachment feature, wherein the center panel, the at least one side panel, or both are adapted to stand upright on a surface.

A desk or table shield includes a clear face and two wings, is individually assignable, easily attached to a desk or table top, and include elbow openings preventing or reducing interference with arms during use. Clips are permanently attached to the desk or table top, and the shield engages and disengages from the clips to attach and detach from the desk or table. A template facilitates portioning the clips for attachment to the desk or table top. The wings are attached to the face by flexible hinges. Cable cutouts are provided for cabling. Carrying handles are provided by slots in the face and wings which align when the wings are folded against the face for carrying.

A bracket assembly is disclosed. The bracket assembly comprises a cylindrical member configured to hold a supporting bar at a first opening of the cylindrical member. Further, a cylindrical core housed in the cylindrical member from the second opening of the cylindrical member. Further, an annular cap coupled with the cylindrical core at the second opening of the cylindrical member for providing support to the cylindrical member, a torque cartridge housed within a torque cartridge housing and transversely press fitted into the cylindrical member and the cylindrical core. Further, the torque cartridge comprises a first portion and a second portion, a first end of the first portion is coupled to the cylindrical core, a first end of the second portion is rotatably coupled at a second end of the first portion to provide an infinite smooth pivoting movement between the first portion and the second portion of the torque cartridge.

Provided is a canopy cover for a roller grill assembly that works in conjunction with a roller grill food separating device. The canopy includes a pair of support brackets that contact the sidewalls of the roller grill to support the canopy thereon. The canopy support brackets include cutouts for positioning a food separating device on the grill assembly. The configuration of the cutouts allows the food separating device support brackets to rest between the ends of the canopy support brackets and on the roller grill. The canopy further includes a pair of canopy header brackets for supporting a header graphic custom sign positioned above the roller grill. The canopy provides a sanitary cover for a roller grill and a food separating device that permits segregation of food products on the grill surface, protects the food from contaminants, and provides support for an advertising sign.

A desktop shield system for splashes protection that has a right rod, a left rod and a panel shield. The lower end of the right rod is connected to a base that its first side has a protrusion that corresponds with a recess at its second side. The right rod also includes magnet elements that are connected to its right side at a zero height. The left rod is designed in the same way as the right one but in reverse as a mirror view. The system can be connected with a another identical system, in a way that the recess of the left rod of the another system is assembled with the protrusion of the right rod of the system and the magnet elements of the left rod of the another system magnetically connected with the magnet elements of the right rod of the system.
