  • Patent number: 5823665
    Abstract: A protective lens shield (12) with a torsion adjustment system (3) and simple one-bolt mounting bracket clamp (1) for use with outdoor lighting fixtures. The protective lens shield is constructed of dual layers and thicknesses of polycarbonate sheets (12) which have ballistic containment properties. The bracket clamp (1), clamp bolt assembly (2), adjustment carriage bolt (3), threaded adjustment housing (4), and arm-shield adjustment arm (5) are constructed of steel with a galvanized coating for a corrosion resistant longer life. The hook-and-cable assembly (FIG. 2) is comprised of a hook (8), cable (9), and a cable assembly bolt (10) which is stainless steel corrosion resistant materials. The torsion flex system is enhanced by the adjustable torsion carriage bolt (3). This adjustment allows for a flex in the polycarbonate sheets allowing it to absorb the energy from objects attempting to penetrate the shield (12).
