Spatter shield
First Claim
1. A shield for use in combination with a hinge component, said hinge component includinga leaf having an exposed surface and an edge with a defined contour, anda generally cylindrical pintle portion projecting from said surface,said leaf being affixed to an environmental structure having a surrounding surface,and for protecting said hinge component during application of a treatment to said surrounding surface, said sheild comprising:
- (a) a cover for overlaying the exposed surface of said leaf, said cover including a generally rigid panel having a surface for lying in juxtaposition with the exposed surface of said leaf and an edge of said leaf;
(b) attachment means for detachably securing said cover to said hinge component, said attachment means comprising a generally tubular member extending along a portion of the edge of said panel and having a bore for receiving said pintle portion therein; and
(c) a short tab extending generally radially from said tubular member in the same direction as the panel and at an acute angle to said panel for bearing against said environmental member and urging potential rotational movement of said tubular member about said pintle portion to urge the surface of said panel against the exposed surface of said leaf.

Abstract
A panel for overlaying the exposed surface of the leaf of a hinge component has an edge contoured to align with the edge of the leaf. A longitudinally served tubular member extending along an edge of the panel receives the pintle portion of the hinge component. The pintle portion may be compressively quipped within the tubular member. Also, a pressure sensitive adhesive may be carried on the surface of the panel for application to the surface of the leaf.
