  • Display monitor shield assembly
    Patent number: 4784468
    Abstract: A display-monitor shield assembly (10) comprises a rigid monitor shield (12) having parallel hinges (26, 28, etc.) extending along the length thereof, and a belt (16) and buckle (14) attached thereto for looping tightly about display monitors to hold the display monitor shield assembly thereon. The belt and buckle are attached to a hinged tab (36) at a mounting end of the shield and the tab and other contact portions of the shield include friction pads (19, 20, 21, etc.) on inside surfaces thereof so that moderate pressure of the belt against these pads holds the shield assembly tightly on the display monitors but yet allows adjustment of the shield. Side panels (61,62,etc.) of the shield can be folded up so that the shield assembly can be made smaller to be placed on smaller display monitors.
