Claims
- 1. A computer monitor hood for use in conjunction with a computer monitor having a top surface, left and right side surfaces, and a forwardly facing screen, said computer monitor hood comprising:
- a top shading panel having an outwardly facing surface, a monitor facing surface, front, rear, left and right side edges;
- left and right side shading panels each having an outwardly facing surface, a monitor facing surface, front, rear, top and bottom edges, and being operatively attached at their respective top edges to said top shading panel at said left and right side edges thereof, respectively, so as to each depend from the respective side edge thereof; and
- a front-to-rear main axis;
- biasing means operatively connected between said left side shading panel and said right side shading panel so as to bias said left and right shading panels toward each other;
- wherein said biasing means comprises a first spring member having a first arm portion operatively connected in non-sliding relation to said left side shading panel and a second arm portion operatively connected in non-sliding relation to said top shading panel, and a second spring member having a first arm portion operatively connected in non-sliding relation to said right side shading panel and a second arm portion operatively connected in non-sliding relation to said top shading panel; and
- whereby, when said computer monitor hood is in place on said computer monitor, a portion of said monitor facing surface of said top shading panel rests on a contacted portion of the top surface of said monitor, and said biasing means biases said left and right side shading panels into frictional contact with said left and right side surfaces, respectively, thereby permitting placement of said computer monitor hood at a selected position on the computer monitor such that said top, left side, and right side shading panels each project forwardly from the front of the computer monitor, at the respective of the top, left side, and right side surfaces of the computer monitor, so as to shade the screen of the computer monitor.
