Shield handle and wall mount

Abstract

The present invention includes a shield having a shield portion and a handle, the handle comprising a wall mount that allows the shield to be hung on a wall. The handle is coupled to the shield portion at a first end portion and a second end portion. An outward bending portion is disposed between the first end portion and the second end portion that allows a user to hold the shield. The wall mount includes a slit configured to house the head of a nail or other hanging fixtures and enables the shield to be mounted on a wall.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A shield comprising:
 a shield portion, wherein the shield portion is curved such that an inner surface of the shield portion is concave; and   a handle including:
 a first end portion extending along and coupled to the inner surface of the shield portion; and 
 a bending portion spaced from an interior surface of the shield portion, the outward bending portion being coupled to the first end portion at a first end of the outward bending portion; 
   wherein a center portion of the bending portion that is spaced a maximum distance from the inner surface of the shield portion does not extend beyond an inner circumferential edge of the shield portion.   
     
     
         2 . The shield of  claim 1 , wherein the maximum distance is about 2.55-2.68 inches from the interior surface of the shield portion. 
     
     
         3 . The shield of  claim 1 , wherein the maximum distance is about 2.0-2.25 inches from the inner surface of the shield portion. 
     
     
         4 . The shield of  claim 1 , wherein first end portion of the handle extends along the inner surface of the shield portion at an angle of about 20-24° with respect to a baseline, wherein the baseline is parallel to a line from across the inner circumferential edge of the shield portion. 
     
     
         5 . The shield of  claim 4 , wherein the handle further comprises a second end portion extending along and coupled to the inner surface of the shield, wherein the second end portion is coupled to the bending portion at a second end of the bending portion. 
     
     
         6 . The shield of  claim 5 , wherein the second end portion of the handle extends along the inner surface of the shield portion at an angle of about 23-27° with respect to the baseline. 
     
     
         7 . The shield of  claim 1 , further comprising a wall mount configured to enable the shield to be hung on a wall. 
     
     
         8 . The shield of  claim 7 , wherein the wall mount is coupled to the first end portion of the handle. 
     
     
         9 . The shield of  claim 7 , wherein the wall mount is coupled to the bending portion of the handle. 
     
     
         10 . The shield of  claim 1 , wherein the shield portion is generally circular. 
     
     
         11 . The shield of  claim 1 , wherein the shield portion is generally triangular in overall shape, with two side edges of the triangular shape curved and a third side edge of the triangular shape including an apex.
