Patent ID: 8667744

Claim:
A shielding device comprising: an upper member defined by a top, upper member sidewalls extending downwardly from the top, and a bottom opposite the top and connected to the upper member sidewalls, the upper member sidewalls extending substantially orthogonal between the top and the bottom; a pair of opposing main body sidewalls that extend downwardly from the upper member, each of the pair of opposing main body sidewalls having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is connected to the upper member and extends downwardly therefrom, wherein the second portion extends downwardly and outwardly from an end of the first portion to define each of the pair of main body sidewalls as terminating with a drip edge, wherein the first portion extends inwardly so that a width between the pair of main body sidewalls adjacent the upper member is greater than a width between the pair of main body sidewalls adjacent the end of the first portion; an upper grip longitudinally and continuously protruding along the length of the bottom of the upper member; and a side tab longitudinally and continuously protruding along the length of an inner portion of at least one of the pair of opposing main body sidewalls; wherein the upper grip is pointed and wherein the side tab is pointed so that at least a portion of the upper grip and a portion of the side tab penetrate through a surface upon installation.
