Abstract

A camera shield system includes a vehicle that has a back side. At least one camera is coupled to the back side. The at least one camera may display an area behind the vehicle when the vehicle is backing. Thus, the vehicle may avoid striking an object when backing. At least one cone is provided. The at least one cone is coupled to the back side and the at least one cone is positioned to surround the at least one camera. Thus, the at least one cone inhibits the at least one camera from becoming obstructed with precipitation.

Claims

1. A camera shield system comprising:

a vehicle having a back side;

at least one camera being coupled to said back side wherein said at least one camera is configured to display an area behind said vehicle when said vehicle is backing thereby facilitating said vehicle to avoid striking an object when backing; and

a cone, said cone being coupled to said back side, cone having a front end, a back end and an outer wall extending between said front end and said back end, said back end having an aperture extending therethrough, said outer wall tapering inwardly between said front end and said back end, said back end being removably attached to said back side having said back end surrounding said at least one camera, said cone being positioned to surround said at least one camera wherein said cone is configured to inhibit said at least one camera from becoming obstructed with precipitation, said front end being open.

2. The system according to claim 1, further comprising

an adhesive layer being coupled to said back end of said at least one cone, said adhesive layer adhesively engaging said back side of said vehicle such that said at least one cone is removably retained on said vehicle.

3. A camera shield system comprising:

a vehicle having a back side;

at least one camera being coupled to said back side wherein said at least one camera is configured to display an area behind said vehicle when said vehicle is backing thereby facilitating said vehicle to avoid striking an object when backing;

at least one cone, said at least one cone being coupled to said back side, said at least one cone being positioned to surround said at least one camera wherein said at least one cone is configured to inhibit said at least one camera from becoming obstructed with precipitation, said at least one cone having a front end, a back end and an outer wall extending therebetween, said front end being open, said back end having an aperture extending therethrough, said outer wall tapering inwardly between said front end and said back end, said back end being removably attached to said back side having said back end surrounding said at least one camera; and

an adhesive layer being coupled to said back end of said at least one cone, said adhesive layer extending around said aperture, said adhesive layer adhesively engaging said back side of said vehicle such that said at least one cone is removably retained on said vehicle.
