Abstract
A flexible shield panel is movably affixed between two U-shaped tracks and mounted in a jewelry store type glass top display case to protectively cover the jewelry display tray shelf. The U-shaped tracks are installed in the solid end walls of the display case with one longer track section horizontally positioned above the jewelry display tray shelf in close proximity to the shelf and the other longer track section below the display tray shelf. Elliptical discs attached by shafts to the edges of the flexible shield panel fit captively in interfaced lipped grooves which are track channels in the U-shaped track structure. The discs slide in the channel. In some applications, the discs can be sufficiently rounded and axled to turn in the track channel. The flexible shield panel is approximately half as long as the tracks and can be manually pulled along the tracks to an upward position closely covering a display tray of jewelry on the display tray shelf. The flexible shield panel can be pushed to a downward storage position. Key operated protruding lock rods are provided to lock the flexible shield panel securely in the upward position covering any jewelry on the display tray shelf.
