    (54) Partitions


    (57) A movable partition can be clamped at its top and bottom edges against a ceiling and a floor with a releasable clamp mechanism (6). The partition incorporates a penetration-resisting protective shield (12) which is made from layers (12a) of a highly penetration-resistant fabric backed by impact absorbing sheets (12b). The fabric (12a) may be woven from aramid fibres and the backing sheets (12b) may consist of resilient foam plastics sheets and semi-­stiff polycarbonate sheets.
