Abstract:
1. An affixable sprinkler guard for a sprinkler riser, comprising: an upstanding spray deflector having a substantially planar deflecting surface and a sprinkler connecting means; said sprinkler connecting means comprising a first and second deformable attachment arm, each arm being deformable from a substantially planar state in plane with said upstanding spray deflector to a conformal state around the periphery of a sprinkler riser; an elongated fastening means supported by said first and second attachment arm and configured to secure around said sprinkler riser for supporting said upstanding spray deflector in a substantially vertical state; said upstanding spray deflector having a stiffness sufficient to deflect sprinkler spray from said sprinkler riser without significant deformation and prevent spray therethrough, shielding an area therebehind and deflecting a portion of said outgoing spray; said substantially planar deflecting surface being entirely located in a plane adjacent to and along said periphery of said sprinkler riser when said arms are secured to said sprinkler riser and said spray deflector is in said substantially vertical state.
