Abstract:

A moveable panel is described for providing privacy for a person in a work station or other location behind an arrangement of one or more stationary panels. The privacy panel is suspended from a pair of linear bearings which ride along a horizontal carrier rod mounted to the top edge of the stationary panel by a pair of hanging brackets. The linear bearings are attached to the privacy panel near its trailing edge so that the privacy panel can be moved to close an entryway adjacent the stationary panel. The entire assembly is preferably made of lightweight materials and can be easily mounted onto an existing stationary panel.
