Abstract:
1. A shield assembly, comprising: a mount frame including a first side and a second side that is spaced from the first side along a vertical direction, the mount frame adapted to be positioned atop a barrier such that the second side faces the barrier and the first side faces away from the barrier; a channel coupled to the mount frame, the channel adapted to receive a portion of a protective panel therein, the channel including a bottom wall with a surface which supports the protective panel in the vertical direction when the channel receives the portion of the protective panel; a first jaw mechanically coupled to the mount frame and extending along the vertical direction away from the second side of the mount frame such that a portion of the first jaw is positioned below the surface of the bottom wall along the vertical direction such that the surface is closer to the second side than the portion of the first jaw is to the second side with respect to the vertical direction; and a second jaw mechanically coupled to the mount frame and extending away from the second side of the mount frame, the first jaw and second jaw forming a gap therebetween for receiving a portion of the barrier, the second jaw being moveable relative to the first jaw; wherein the channel is coupled to the mount frame such that a straight line oriented perpendicular to the vertical direction passes through each of the surface of the bottom wall, the first jaw, and the second jaw.
