Smoke Detector Shields And Related Methods

A device for shielding a smoke detector, comprising:

• an open-ended cavity for receiving a smoke detector;
• a tortuous air path extending from an exterior of the smoke detector shield to the open-ended cavity;
• and
• one or more fasteners for securing the smoke detector shield around a smoke detector.

A device for shielding a smoke detector, comprising:

• a shroud comprising one or more materials that block transmission of infrared light, wherein the shroud comprises:
• a first end having an opening dimensionally configured to receive a smoke detector that is mounted on a surface;
• a second end opposing the first end, the second end having an opening dimensionally configured to expose one or more smoke inlets of the received smoke detector;
• and
• one or more sidewalls extending between the first and second ends and collectively configured to surround a portion of the received smoke detector without covering the exposed smoke inlets, wherein an area extending between the first and second ends and between the one or more sidewalls is hollow;
• two or more suspension members coupled to and extending below the shroud;
• and
• a component coupled to the suspension members such that a gap exists between the shroud and the component.
