FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 33 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of a modified form of the invention.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken of line 5-5 of FIG. 4.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the numeral refers to the device generally, comprising a plate member as shown in FIG. 2, of an ovate-triangular conformation and having pluralities of aligned apertures.
A central aperture at 11 is appropriate When the shield is placed under a drawer pull or the like having but a single fastening means. and 13 Will come into use when a handle member 14 of the type shown in FIG. 1 is employed. The base terminals The pluralities of apertures 12 3 "ice 15 and 16 of the handle member 14 will ordinarily cover all of the apertures 12 and 13 when in position, but only one pair of the apertures will be engaged by the threaded means securing the handle member. The shield 10 may be formed of any appropriate material such as colored or clear plastic.
In FIGS. 4 and 5 a modification of the invention is illustrated, in which a plate 20 has a plurality of apertures 21 and 22 adjacent each end 23 and 24 thereof, and a central aperture at 25, but the plate is molded in such a manner that the apertures do not pass entirely through the plate 20 which has an unbroken surface on one face 26 thereof. In this way only the apertures used may be punched when the fastening means are introduced.
