## Abstract

A television screen protector assembly for mounting to a conventional television and protecting the screen panel of the television on which it is mounting. The television screen protector assembly includes a pair of holding brackets, each having an attaching surface for attaching to the television and a receiving slot for slidingly receiving a removable protecting screen (or “removable screen”) and a pair of impact brackets, each having an attaching surface, impact pads for preventing the protecting screen from impacting the television and a swinging closure for enabling selective control of the insertion and removal of the removable screen in the receiving slots. The removable screen defines a rigid, transparent rectangular member that while held in place by the brackets, shields the screen panel of a conventional television.
