Claim:
1. An adjustable bracket assembly for mounting at least one panel in a food shield over a horizontally disposed planar surface, the adjustable bracket assembly comprising, in combination: a) at least two support elements, each support element integrally comprising (i) a planar base surface; (ii) a planar top surface; (iii) a concave front surface; (iv) a convex back surface; (v) equal sized planar internal side and external side surfaces within the base surface, top surface, front surface, and back surface, the side surfaces widening at an orthogonal intersection of the planar base surface and the side surfaces, and at an orthogonal intersection of the planar top surface and the side surfaces; and (vi) a plurality of equal sized apertures equally disposed along the internal side and external side surfaces; and b) at least two articulating arm assemblies, each articulating arm assembly comprising at least one articulating arm comprising integral pivot hinge ends, whereby at least one articulating arm first pivot hinge end is affixed to a corresponding aperture in each support element such that each articulating arm is deployed on its respective support element internal side surface, and an articulating arm second pivot hinge end is affixed by an attachment assembly to a common adjustable panel defining a common longitudinal axis between corresponding articulating arm second pivot hinge ends, whereby the panel has rotational adjustment about the common longitudinal axis between corresponding articulating arm second pivot hinge ends and between the at least two support elements.
