  • Patent number: 4351475
    Abstract: A portable wall-like room divider rests on a floor and rises to a height of preferably at least three feet. Front and rear facings of the divider, in conjunction with edge and internal members, form a cavity in which a light source (two diverse light sources in an alternate embodiment) is positioned for producing reflected light which is transmitted through a hidden light-transmisive portion of the front facing for illuminating a designated task area of the room. An additional light filter can be added. An externally-located adjusting member is linked to the light source to allow adjustment of the position of a member of the light source so that the pattern of light passing through the light-transmissive member can be varied. The divider is brought into communication with heating (or airconditioning) ducts for dispensing heated (or cooled) air into the designated task area.
