Snow guard

A snow guard for retaining ice and snow from freely sliding along a roof surface, said snow guard comprising:

• a substantially flat base plate made of plastic for securing to the roof surface, and having a central axis in the middle of the base plate;
• a plurality of upstanding, triangular, flat plates made of plastic integrally connected at the lower edges thereof to the base plate to retain ice and snow and extending upwardly in intersecting planes;
• upstanding inner edges on the upstanding triangular plates adjoining and meeting at the central axis of the base plate, the upstanding members projecting outwardly from the central vertical axis along the base to retain ice and snow;
• each of the upstanding plates being substantially identical in shape and size, the upstanding plates being spaced from one another at equal angles;
• each triangular-shaped plate having an outer, free sloped edge defining a hypotenuse for each triangular-shaped plate;
• the triangular upstanding plates defining a symmetrical construction about the vertical axis of the base plate;
• and
• the snow guard being effective in any rotated position about the symmetrical, vertical axis of the base plate to retain ice and snow.
