Patent ID: 6933035

Claim:
A heat shield comprising: a) a U-shaped frame adapted to be mounted on the rear surface of an automobile seat, said frame being formed of ABS plastic and includes (1) heat resistant adhesive which mounts said frame on the automobile seat, (2) a bight section having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end, (3) a first leg section which is unitary with the first end of the bight section, the first leg section including a proximal end that is unitary with the first end of the bight section and a distal end that is spaced apart from the bight section, and (4) a second leg section which is unitary with the second end of the bight section and spaced apart from the first leg section along the longitudinal axis of the bight section, the second leg section including a proximal end that is unitary with the second end of the bight section and a distal end that is spaced apart from the bight section; b) a first sheet supported in said U-shaped frame and which includes an edge that is located adjacent to said U-shaped frame and a lattice that defines a multiplicity of rectangular openings defined in honeycomb relationship with each other, said first sheet further including a first face and a second face, with the first face oriented towards the automobile seat; c) a second sheet supported in said U-shaped frame and which includes an edge that is co-incident with the edge of said first sheet, said second sheet being formed of glass thermal barrier cloth and having a first face that is congruent with the second face of said first sheet and a second face oriented away from the automobile seat; d) a third sheet supported in said U-shaped frame and which includes an edge that is located adjacent to said U-shaped frame and a lattice that defines a multiplicity of rectangular openings defined in honeycomb relationship with each other, said third sheet further including a first face and a second face, with the second face of said third sheet being congruent with the second face of said second sheet and the second first face of said third sheet being oriented away from the automobile seat; and e) said second sheet being sandwiched between said first and third sheets, and said first, second and third sheets being congruent with each other with the openings in said first and third sheets being congruent with each other.
