Abstract
An apparatus for use in cooperation with a basin, such as a basin of a hopper sink, that protects an operator from splashing fluids and particulates. The apparatus includes a protective shield, structure for mounting the shield to the basin, and structure for attaching the shield to the basin mounting structure. The attaching structure includes a resilient material which serves to bias the shield outwardly toward the operator, when pressed inward by the operator, allowing the operator to work in the basin with minimal constraints.
