## Abstract

A protection assembly for covering a window/door, said protection assembly comprising at least one rigid protective panel dimensioned to fit against a frame of said window/door; at least one protecting member for supporting said at least one rigid protective panel against said frame of said window/door; and at least one coupling member for coupling said at least one rigid protective panel against said frame of said window/door, and for further securing said at least one protecting member against said at least one rigid protective panel.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A protection assembly for covering a window/door, said protection assembly comprising:
(a) at least one rigid protective panel dimensioned to fit against a frame of said window/door;
(b) at least one protecting member for supporting said at least one rigid protective panel against said frame of said window/door;
(c) at least one coupling member for coupling said at least one rigid protective panel against said frame of said window/door, and for further securing said at least one protecting member against said at least one rigid protective panel;
(d) a plurality of fasteners for securing said at least one protecting member against said at least one rigid protective panel, said plurality of fasteners being threaded fasteners in which said at least one rigid protective panel further comprises at least one receiving member positioned on its surface, said at least one receiving member being configured to receive each fastener of said plurality of fasteners through an orifice of said at least one protecting member, said orifice being a threaded orifice; and
(e) at least one longitudinal member configured to be coupled to said at least one protecting member in which said at least one longitudinal member comprises at least one slot at each of its edges, said at least one slot being configured to mate with at least one protruding member positioned on surface of said frame of said window/door, thereby forming an interlocking mechanism.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The assembly of claim 1, in which said at least one longitudinal member comprises at least one slot at each of its edges, said at least one slot being configured to mate with at least one protruding member positioned on surface of said frame of said window/door, thereby forming an interlocking mechanism.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The assembly of claim 1, wherein said interlocking mechanism is secured by at least one lock.

### Claim 4

The assembly of claim, 1 wherein said at least one rigid protective panel is a plastic sheet.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The assembly of claim 1, wherein said at least one protecting member is a telescopic pole.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The assembly of claim 1, wherein said at least one coupling member is a bracket.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The assembly of claim 1, wherein said at least one protecting member is metal pole.

### Claim 8

A protection assembly for covering a window/door, said protection assembly comprising:
(a) at least one rigid protective panel dimensioned to fit against said window/door;
(b) at least one protecting member for supporting said at least one rigid protective panel against said window/door in which said at least one protecting member is a metal pole; and
(c) a plurality of latches positioned on said window/door for securing said at least one protecting member against said at least one rigid protective panel; and
(d) a plurality of hooks positioned on said window/door for supporting said at least one rigid protective panel against a frame of said window/door.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The assembly of claim 8, wherein said at least one rigid protective panel is a plastic sheet.
