[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0009] [First Embodiment] As shown in FIG. 3, for example, a plurality of transparent plates 1 such as polyester or cellulose triacetate (TAC) with an A4 acrylic size and a thickness of 0.2 to 0.3 mm are joined by, for example, transparent polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene PSA tape, or mechanical hinges 2 and 3 with a width of 12.5 mm or 25 mm.

[0010] As is well known, as shown in Fig. 1, support legs 5 are provided on an acrylic plate 4 with a thickness of 1 mm or more, an access lower window 6 is provided, and it is placed on a table. There are also those without the lower window 6.

[0011] Another well-known one is, as shown in Fig. 2, a string-like member 7 is stretched in a room, a thin vinyl sheet 18 is hung therefrom, and an access space 9 is opened below and provided on a counter or the like. Since it is a vinyl sheet, the transparency is not good and it flutters in the wind.

[0012] Fig. 3 shows a first embodiment of the present invention in which nine of the transparent plates 1 are joined with the transparent tape or joining tools 2 and 3. In this case, without providing the central lower transparent plate 17, it can be used as a window and also as an entrance / exit for food or the like.

[0013] To use the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Fig. 4, the joint portion of the transparent plate 1 is used as a fold 2 and both ends are bent forward and set on a table or the like.

[0014] 〔Second Embodiment〕 Fig. 6 shows a second embodiment of the present invention in which six transparent plates 1 are joined with a transparent tape 3 or the like. The joining may be by a mechanical hinge such as a hinge instead of a tape.

[0015] 〔Third Embodiment〕 Fig. 6 shows a third embodiment of the present invention in which the transparent plate at the lower center of Fig. 5 is eliminated and an access window 17 is provided.

[0016] This also applies to the first embodiment of the present invention in Fig. 3, and the portion indicated by 17 in Fig. 3 is the portion without a transparent plate. Therefore, the number of transparent plates in this case is eight.

[0017] Fig. 7 is an explanatory diagram of using the present invention in Fig. 6. When the four left and right plates are tilted forward, the entire five transparent plates stand independently on the table, and a window 17 is formed at the lower center, so items can be taken in and out from here.

[0018] 〔Fourth Embodiment〕 Figure 8 shows the fourth embodiment of the present invention in which four transparent plates 1 are connected by transparent tape or connectors 2.

[0019] Figure 9 shows an example of using the one in Figure 8. The central part of the four transparent plates 1 is bent at an angle of 10 and erected so as to surround a dish 11 for meals. Since it surrounds the vicinity of the food 11, even if the coronavirus flies in, it is possible to eat much more safely with a higher shielding rate from aerosol coronavirus than a known stationary shielding shield located far away.

[0020] 〔Fifth Embodiment〕 Figure 10 shows the fifth embodiment of the present invention in which two transparent plates 1 and two opaque plates 12 are joined by PSA tape or a joining tool 3. The opaque plate 12 also serves as a cover when folded with materials such as plastic or cardboard.

[0021] 〔Sixth Embodiment〕 As shown in Figure 11, in the sixth embodiment of the present invention, an adhesive 13 such as double-sided adhesive tape or sewing is used to attach a belt 14 to the panel 12 in the one in Figure 10. A hook-and-loop fastener 15 is provided at the tip of the belt 14, and a corresponding hook-and-loop fastener 16 is provided on another opaque plate 12'.

[0022] Figure 12 illustrates the folding method of the present invention in Figure 11. As shown in (A), it is folded in the direction of arrow 16 around 3, as shown in Figure (B), and then folded around 2 as shown by arrow 20, as shown in Figure (C). The belt 14 is wound around and the hook-and-loop fastener 15 at the tip is joined to the hook-and-loop fastener 16 on the opaque plate to complete. If 1 and 12 are, for example, A4 size, they can easily fit into a bag, etc. When eating at a restaurant, take them out and stand them behind the food as shown in Figure 9 for use, and then fold them again after the meal for carrying. In this way, even without a mask, a face shield, or the partition plate in Figures 1 and 2, or even if the partition plate in Figure 1 is low, it is possible to effectively prevent aerosol coronavirus and eat.

[0023] 〔Seventh Embodiment〕 As shown in Fig. 13, the present invention's seventh embodiment is a bifold structure composed of a transparent plate 1 and a bag 21, into which documents can be inserted. For example, a menu 22 printed on A4 paper can be inserted, serving as both a restaurant menu and a corona shield.

[0024] 〔Eighth Embodiment〕 As shown in Fig. 14, in the eighth embodiment of the present invention, the upper half of the transparent plate 1 is made of film, the lower half of the transparent plate is made of thick paper with an opaque honeycomb structure, and the upper and lower halves are joined with transparent tape or a bonding tool, and can be bent at the dotted line part in Fig. 14. Fold the lower half to make the shield stand on its own. The material for the lower half can be cardboard, thick paper, plastic honeycomb paper, etc.

[0025] 〔Ninth Embodiment〕 As shown in Fig. 15, in the ninth embodiment of the present invention, bending parts are provided at both side ends to enable self-standing. Bend from the dotted line part to make it stand on its own. Fig. 15 is a diagram showing the present invention applied to the invention of Fig. 5. The material can be anything that can be bent, such as thick paper or cardboard. Also, the foldable parts of boxes containing cakes, etc., or partition cardboard can be utilized and processed.

[0026] 〔Tenth Embodiment〕 As shown in Fig. 16, in the tenth embodiment of the present invention, for example, by providing foldable parts 23 in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped at the end faces of the transparent plates at the left and right ends of the lower half of Fig. 5, it can be made self-standing. When folding the shield of the present invention, the rectangular parallelepiped-shaped part 23 can also be folded in a shape where it is crushed inward into the shield.

Industrial Applicability

[0027] By using the present invention, it is possible to eat safely and securely even without masks or face shields, which can bring back customers to the food and beverage industry where sales have drastically decreased during the corona pandemic, and bring vitality to the industry, so the industrial applicability is great.
