Television screen light shield

Abstract

Abstract An extremely simple and inexpensive light shield or shroud for television screens, adjustable in nature, for encirlcing the screen of a television set (or the front end of the set itself), thus enabling viewing of the screen in sunlight or other areas where excessive light reduces the contrast in the screen such as to otherwise prevent adequate viewing. In collapsed form, the shield lies flat for shipment or storage purposes, yet it can be readily pivoted in place, with the two adjustable sides being pivotally positioned together with an adjustable top and bottom, and then conformed in dimension to the top, bottom and sides of the television set, thus to adequately shield the screen from sunlight (or artificial glare) by the resultant rectangular enclosure. The entire assembly is comprised of four identically shaped sections of cardboard or equivalent material, each of which is scored near the mid-section thereof in order that each of these elements can be configured to a right-angular shape and pivotally interconnected, thus to form the desired rectangular shape. At the forward end (away from the television screen), each of these elements is provided with apertures on each side of the widest end thereof, and these are adapted to interfit with like apertures in an adjacent right-angular configuration. These apertures permit the insertion of a suitable pressure applied grommet or equivalent, thus permitting adjustment, and fixed adjustment of the adjacent elements to different sized television screens.
