PRIVACY SCREEN APPARATUS METHOD OF ADJUSTING SAME

Abstract:

A privacy screen attachment apparatus can include a screen body having a plurality of elongated rungs spaced apart from each other. The rungs can be configured to facilitate releaseable attachment to screen bodies and other structures to allow for an adjustment in the extent to which a visible barrier is provided. Structures that can be connected to the rungs can also permit other functionality (e.g. attachment of a tackable surface, dry erase board, etc.) in addition to adjusting the visible barrier provided by the body of the privacy screen apparatus. A connection mechanism can be provided to facilitate a releasable attachment of such structures to the rungs without requiring use of any mechanical tools. Embodiments of the connection mechanism can be configured to also help prevent accidental disconnection to avoid accidents that could result in damage to the privacy screen apparatus or other objects.
