  • Publication number: 20210254935
    Abstract: A shield has a rectangular body, a first rollerball bearing assembly mounted in a first bracket joined to the body, such that the first bracket extends away from the left vertical edge of the body, a second rollerball bearing assembly mounted in a second bracket such that the second bracket extends away from the right vertical edge of the body, and the spacing between the first and the second rollerball bearing assemblies is greater than the width of the body. The body rests on the rollerball bearing assemblies when standing and a user, is enabled to hold the shield oriented vertically and to move the shield side-to-side, and the user is further enabled to tilt the shield back toward the user, transferring support to wheels rather than the rollerball bearing assemblies, and is then enabled to move the shield forward and backward on the wheels.
