Display monitor shield assembly
First Claim
1. A portable monitor shield assembly comprising:
- a relatively rigid monitor shield to be mounted on a display monitor to shield a display screen thereof from surrounding light, said monitor screen having a plurality of approximately parallel hinges extending along the length thereof to allow said shield to be folded about a display monitor to thereby partially enclose said monitor display screen, said monitor shield having a rear, mounting end to be mounted at the monitor and forward viewing end directed toward a viewer observing the monitor;
a belt having a first end attached to said monitor shield near said mounting end for wrapping about said monitor when said monitor shield is mounted on said monitor, and a second end portion; and
a buckle mounted on said monitor shield near said mounting end for receiving and engaging said second end portion of said belt so as to selectively allow said second end portion to move longitudinally relative to said buckle or to not move longitudinally relative to said buckle;
whereby said belt can be wrapped about a display monitor, engaged with said buckle, and closed to a tight loop for tightly gripping said monitor, thereby mounting said portable display monitor shield assembly on said display monitor.

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.
