-14 Abstract A privacy screen (10) for attachment to at least one surface, each surface forming part of a vertical planar surface, or being in substantial proximity to the vertical planar surface. The privacy screen (10) comprises a first side rail (14a), a second side rail (14b), a connecting rail (16) and a screen (18). Each of the first side rail (14a) and second side rail (14v) are formed from one or more segments connected to the vertical planar surface and are able to pivot relative thereto. The connecting rail is formed from one or more segments and defines a first end (40) and a second end (42). The first end (40) is connected to the first side rail (14a) and the second end (42) is connected to the second side rail (14b). These connections thereby define an interconnected length. The screen (18) connects to the pair of side rails (14a, 14b) and the connecting rail (16) in a manner that allows the screen (18) to traverse along the interconnected length. In a first state, the first and second side rail (14a, 14b) are pivoted to a position whereby the screen (18) defines an enclosed area. In a second state, the first and second side rail (14a, 14b) are pivoted towards each other until they reach a position parallel or substantially parallel to the vertical planar surface. In both states, the interconnected length remains the same. In one embodiment, the first side rail (14a) and the second side rail (14b) connect to the vertical planar surface at positions vertically offset relative to each other. In a second embodiment, the first side rail (14a) and the second side rail (14b) connected to the vertical planar surface at positions horizontally offset relative to each other. Figure 7
