Abstract
A corner-mounted shield for protecting monitoring devices includes a triangular protective plate attached to three adjacent corner-forming interior room surfaces (e.g. two walls and ceiling). Attachments to the corner-forming interior room surfaces are made behind the protective plate, usually through an opening in the protective plate, and are inaccessible after the opening is covered by a window. The window is attached to the protective plate with tamper-resistant fasteners and is essentially transparent to whatever is being monitored by the monitoring device. The monitoring device, mounted behind the protective plate and window, has a clear view of the monitored room through the window because the protective plate faces into and is within the monitored room.
Claims23
A shield for mounting to corner-forming adjacent interior surfaces for protecting monitoring devices, comprising:
- a triangular protective plate having attached mounting brackets and an opening;
- first attaching means for attaching said mounting brackets to corner-forming adjacent interior surfaces;
- means for supporting the monitoring device;
- a window made of an essentially transparent material;
- second attaching means for attaching said window to said protective plate with said window covering said opening.
A shield for mounting to corner-forming adjacent interior surfaces for protecting monitoring devices, comprising:
- a triangular protective plate having attached mounting brackets and a centrally located opening;
- first attaching means for attaching said mounting brackets to corner-forming adjacent interior surfaces;
- a window made of an essentially transparent material, said essentially transparent material being impact resistant and essentially transparent to whatever is monitored by the monitoring device;
- and
- second attaching means for attaching said window to said protective plate with said window covering said opening.
A shield for mounting to corner-forming adjacent interior surfaces for protecting monitoring devices, comprising:
- a triangular protective plate having attached mounting brackets and a centrally located opening;
- attaching means, only accessible through said opening, for attaching said mounting brackets to corner-forming adjacent interior surfaces;
- a window made of an impact resistant material essentially transparent to whatever is monitored by the monitoring device;
- and
- tamper-resistant fasteners for attaching said window to said plate with said window covering said opening.

- a monitoring device;
- a triangular protective plate having attached mounting brackets and an opening;
- first attaching means for attaching said mounting brackets to corner-forming adjacent interior surfaces;
- a window made of an essentially transparent material;
- and
- second attaching means for attaching said window to said protective plate with said window covering said opening.
A shield for mounting to corner-forming adjacent interior surfaces for protecting monitoring devices, comprising:
- a triangular protective plate having attached mounting brackets and an opening, said triangular protective plate being made of an inflexible one piece, metal plate;
- first attaching means for attaching said mounting brackets to corner-forming adjacent interior surfaces;
- a window made of an essentially transparent material;
- and
- second attaching means for attaching said window to said protective plate with said window covering said opening.
