    Abstract: Disclosed is a shield for sprinklers, which can be quickly attached and detached from a sprinkler standpipe. The shield has a semi-circular deflector mounted at the top of a support rod. A hook is formed in the bottom of the support rod to engage the standpipe. The hook is disposed in a plane substantially horizontal to the support rod, has a slightly helical configuration, and opens in laterally with respect to said rod. Midway of said rod a brace projects from said rod substantially normal thereto and has a standpipe engaging fork in its outer end. The hook readily engages the standpipe when the support rod is parallel to the standpipe and clamps to it when the upper end of the support rod is drawn away from the standpipe to engage the brace with the standpipe.
