Abstract:
1. A filler bracket assembly for sneeze guards comprising, in combination: a) a filler bracket first housing comprising a first housing curved front surface comprising a first housing threaded aperture comprising a recessed opening on the first housing curved front surface, a planar top surface comprising a first housing threaded opening, a first housing planar bottom surface, and two off-set first housing planar back surfaces that communicate with a first housing half-circular concave back surface, a first off-set first housing planar back surface comprising a threaded opening, and a second off-set first housing planar back surface comprising a threaded aperture communicating with the first housing curved front surface threaded aperture; b) a filler bracket second housing comprising a second housing curved front surface comprising a second housing threaded aperture comprising a recessed opening on the second housing curved front surface, a second housing planar top surface, a second housing planar bottom surface comprising a second housing threaded opening, and two off-set second housing planar back surfaces that communicate with a second housing half-circular concave back surface, a first off-set second housing planar back surface comprising a threaded opening, and a second off-set second housing planar back surface comprising a threaded aperture communicating with the second housing curved front surface threaded aperture, such that when the two off-set first housing planar back surfaces abut the two off-set second housing planar back surfaces a cylindrical housing comprising a cylindrical housing central aperture comprising an internal diameter is presented, the cylindrical housing further comprising a central longitudinal vertical axis, a circular planar top surface comprising the first housing top surface threaded opening centered on the cylindrical housing central longitudinal vertical axis, a circular planar bottom surface comprising the second housing bottom surface threaded opening centered on the cylindrical housing central longitudinal vertical axis; c) a circular cap comprising a planar top surface, a diameter at least equal to the diameter of the cylindrical housing circular planar top surface, and an aperture centered on the circular cap and comprising a top surface aperture opening; d) a circular base comprising a planar bottom surface, a diameter at least equal to the diameter of the cylindrical housing circular planar bottom surface, and an aperture centered on the circular base and comprising a bottom surface aperture opening; e) at least two gaskets, each gasket comprising a diameter at least equal to the diameter of the cylindrical housing circular planar top surface and an aperture centered on the gasket; f) a panel comprising a longitudinal central axis and at least one aperture centered along the panel longitudinal central axis; g) a first threaded fastener sized to be received in and correspond to the circular planar top surface first housing threaded opening centered on the cylindrical housing central longitudinal vertical axis and secure to the circular planar top surface the circular cap, and the panel between the at least two gaskets through the apertures in the cap, panel, and at least two gaskets, such that the first thread fastener sized to be received in the circular planar top surface is flush with the cap top surface; h) a second threaded fastener sized to be received in and correspond to the circular planar bottom surface second housing threaded opening centered on the cylindrical housing central longitudinal vertical axis and secure to the circular base to the planar bottom surface, such that the second thread fastener sized to be received in the circular planar bottom surface is flush with the base bottom surface; i) a third threaded fastener sized to be received in and correspond to the first housing threaded aperture comprising a recessed opening on the first housing curved front surface and the first off-set second housing planar back surface comprising a threaded opening; and j) a fourth threaded fastener sized to be received in and correspond to the second housing threaded aperture comprising a recessed opening on the second housing curved front surface and the first off-set second housing planar back surface comprising a threaded opening, such that the third and fourth threaded fasteners conjoin the first and second filler bracket housings to provide a cylindrical housing central aperture comprising an internal diameter sized to receive and be secured upon a sneeze guard elongated support member by adjustment of the third and fourth threaded fasteners, whereby one or more filler bracket assemblies secure one or more filler panels to close gaps between sneeze guard surfaces secured by the elongated support member.
